International Yoga Day is celebrated on June 21 every year. Migraines can be a kind of headache for the common people but for a person suffering from it this is exactly like any nightmare. The throbbing pain is often felt on one side of the head which can in fact be very difficult to bear. Migraines often occur with nausea, blurred vision, or increased sensitivity to smell, light, or sound. Unlike normal headaches, these pains do not go away in a few minutes. But episodes of a migraine can last for hours, and sometimes it can take days for a person to recover. While there are many different medications that can relieve migraine pain, some yogasanas can help relieve migraine pain.
How does yoga help with migraines?
We all know that there is no definitive cure for migraine. You can just rely on medications and make some healthy lifestyle changes to reduce the symptoms. Migraines often start with different things and stress is one of them. Yogasana helps manage stress levels, thereby reducing symptoms.
