Understanding Headaches and Migraines

Headaches are pain or discomfort in the head or face area and can be caused by stress, tension, sinus issues, or other factors. Migraines are a type of headache characterised by severe pain, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound.

Holistic Migraine & Headache Treatments in London:

Headaches and migraines can be related to imbalances in the liver and gallbladder meridians according to TCM, or blockages in the third eye chakra, which is associated with intuition and perception. Holistic treatments include acupuncture, herbal remedies to detoxify the liver, craniosacral therapy, and practices like meditation and yoga to alleviate stress and tension.

Conventional Headache & Migraine Treatments:

  • Diagnosis: Clinical evaluation, neurological exams, sometimes imaging tests.
  • Treatment: Pain relief with NSAIDs, triptans, anti-nausea medications, and sometimes preventive medications.

Hito Holistic Approach to Treating Headaches & Migraines

  • Diagnosis: Comprehensive assessment including physical, postural, energetical, emotional, and lifestyle factors.

  • Treatment:
    Our approach is based on the understanding that the head is directly linked to the neck, so treatment always includes addressing this relationship. Key components include:

    • Neck alignment and muscle tension

      • Focus on correcting misalignment of the cervical spine

      • Releasing restriction in the scalp

      • Reducing tension in the neck muscles

    • Jaw assessment and posture

      • Evaluation and treatment of jaw muscles, which are often linked to headache symptoms

      • Attention to jaw posture—particularly when the chin is positioned behind the upper lip, which can:

        • Cause the head to fall forward

        • Lead to the body leaning forward

        • Create tension along the posterior muscle line (also linked to the bladder meridian)

    • Energetic and traditional systems

      • In Ayurvedic medicine, the head is associated with:

        • The brow chakra (linked to the upper neck, sinuses, headaches, migraines, eyes, ears, overthinking, and ruminating thoughts)

        • The crown chakra (connected to the higher self and spiritual awareness)

      • In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the head is influenced by:

        • The gallbladder meridian (linked to frustration and overthinking, runs along the sides of the skull)

        • The bladder meridian (linked to water balance, emotional expression, and feeling safe)

    • Holistic treatments may include:

      • Myofascial release to ease muscle tension in the neck, scalp, and jaw

      • Craniosacral therapy

      • Acupuncture to balance meridians

      • Chakra healing

      • Specific stretches, strength and postural exercises

      • Pilates and yoga poses

      • Mindfulness practices such as:

        • Meditation

        • Breathwork

        • Journaling – all aimed at reducing stress and improving oxygenation
