Hi everyone. I did a IHM course a while back so can't ask my tutor now so hope someone can help me here.

My boyfriend suffers a lot with migraines at the moment. He is waiting for a second appointment with the hospital so I am reluctant to use a full IHM until I have permission from his doctor. Can anyone suggest any techniques, such as pressure points, I can use (or he can use himself) while he is actually having a migraine to try to ease it a bit?
 
Hi sorry to hear about your boyfriend suffering - can empathize as a sufferer of over forty years and still not 100% sure of what triggers 'em. Hope the doctor gives the ok though as recent success I've had in dispelling them both as a giver and recipient has been with IHM. I was amazed when it worked on me as once a migraine begins to descend it's usually going to develop. Sorry I can't suggest anything whilst in the middle of one, other than IHM so hope you get the ok from the doctor x
 
Hi Ylangrose,
As a migraine sufferer too, mine tend to be linked with hormonal cycles, I have always found deep massage to be an enormous help. It depends where your boyfriend develops his pain, but in my case I have a place inbetween my right shoulder blade and spine which cramps- I believe it is a meridian point. If that is massaged it can prevent one developing fully. Following that muscle up the neck and along the ocipital bone at the base of the skull is wonderful.
Also pressing along the eyebrow ridge, especially where the slight indentation is, gives relief and then the temple and jaw joint next to the ear.
It all depends just where he gets his pain and how bad it is- you are best doing these areas before it is at its peak.
Also try pressing the inside of his big toes, below the joint. You will find a place there which is excruitiating to press at first but that will ease as you persist. (not IHM I know but it all helps!!)
 
Hi

Ask him to drink plenty of water first thing in the morning. My husband suffered from migranes and he tried drinking water first in the morning and his headaches are almost gone.

Astha
 
Thank you for your replies and well wishes. Some good advice there. I will try them out. He usually smells a strange smell shortly before one starts and sometimes feels a bit sickly but no pain till the headache comes on.
 
I was told not to give treatments whilst the client is in the middle of a migraine (as I get migraines and specifically asked if i could get any relief). I was also told that whilst there is no migraine one of the best moves are to place one hand on the forehead and one on the base of the neck and rock the head forwards and backwards. This should be very slow - 10 seconds ish coming down and 10 seconds ish coming back up. The client should relax and let you take complete control of their head which can leave it quite heavy. To get the best benefit i usually let them know before hand so they expect it. Just be careful when letting go of their head

**When touching the base of the skull / around the hairline - avoid the puffy area on the base of the head/neck/hairline area as this can trigger migraines. I have found the puffiness is prominent on migraine sufferers and not on those without migraines, take a look at your clients next time. **

Sorry if this is stuff you already knew, better to dupicate info than not share

Hope that helps?

Michelle.
 
Hi all, I use triggerpoint deep massage on points on the upperback, neck and shoulders, combined with IHM and lymphatic drainage for the sinuses to good effect.
I would not recommend treatment during a full blown migriane.
Regards steve
 
Hello!
I hope this message is too late and you have already solved the horrid migraine issue. I suffered from a bout of 3 months of daily migraines having never suffered from them before. I tried everything.

I agree with the responses people have given about not giving a treatment in the middle of an attack, but when there is no sign of a migraine regular IHM massage seemed to slow the frequency of attacks down. I found acupuncture treatments really great and I think they were one of the main causes of my recovery (I haven't had a migraine in a year) so if he's still suffering, it'd be worth a try. I had 5 treatments throughout and after each one they lessened in severity.
Good luck!
 
Hi
Migraine was my old best mate, Long gone now(7 years, to be precise). I don't miss it but remember it still.
Headches are generally a collection of issues. Treating them holistically one embarks a whole new path of self enquiry. EFT helped me to see and dissolve the issues that gave me headache and changed my responses to situations so in similar situations I would still not be pressured enough to have a migraine.
I can recommend EFT for migraines but one would have to follow the body and its messages tirelessly.
There are no short cuts to that process and yet if one intends to dig deeper within everything sorts itself so quickly. This journey can be extremely rewarding if there is urge enough to self-help. For self help one would have stick at it which may not always be possible due to several reasons.
One can then seek an EFT practitioner if that is the case. But it does work.
 
Hi, I get migraines too...one thing that helps with the pain...although doesn't cure it is to apply gentle preasure on the fleshy bit of your hands (between the index finger and thumb)with your other index finger and thumb...it helps me

I would give him the IHM obviously not when he is having a full blown migraine, if he has them weekly it could reduce the length of time between each migraine
