Migraine
Migraine is a headache disorder that causes intense pulsing pain deep within your head. Migraine episodes may last between 4 and 72 hours untreated, significantly limiting your ability to carry out your daily routine. During one, you may experience:
*throbbing pain (usually on one side of the head)
*light sensitivity
*sound sensitivity
*nausea and vomiting

About one-third of those with migraine experience visual disturbances before the headache phase starts. Known as migraine aura, it may cause you to see:
*flashing or shimmering lights
*zigzag lines
*stars
*blind spots

Auras can also include tingling on one side of your face or in one arm and trouble speaking.

Migraine might run in your family, or the condition can be associated with other nervous system conditions. According to the National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), people assigned female at birth are three times more likely to develop migraine than people assigned male at birth. People with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) also have an increased risk of migraine.

Common migraine triggers include environmental factors, such as:
*sleep disruption
*dehydration
*skipped meals
*some foods
*hormone fluctuations
*exposure to chemicals.

Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage Massage

1)Boosts Immune Function: By enhancing lymphatic fluid flow, this massage supports the immune system, helping the body fight infections and illnesses.

2)Reduces Swelling and Oedema: It is particularly effective for reducing swelling caused by fluid retention, surgery, or injury, promoting faster healing.

3)Detoxification: The massage aids in eliminating toxins and waste products from the body, contributing to overall detoxification.

4)Improves Skin Health: Increased blood flow and reduced toxins can enhance skin tone and texture.

What is Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
Lymphatic drainage massage is a specialized form of massage therapy that focuses on the lymphatic system, which plays a crucial role in the body's immune function and fluid balance. This technique involves light, rhythmic strokes that encourage the movement of lymph fluid, helping to remove waste and toxins from the body.

Did You Know?
Your Body Filters 20 Litres of Lymph Fluid Daily!
Every single day, you lymphatic system moves and filters around 20 litres of lymph fluid, flushing out toxins, waste, and unwanted invaders. If your lymph nodes become blocked the toxic waste and fluid builds up. Unlike your blood, which has the heart to pump it around, your lymph fluid relies on movement (muscles), deep breathing, and massage to keep flowing smoothly. So if you want to keep your lymphatic system in top shape, make sure to: keep your body moving (walking, stretching, rebounding). Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated (water keeps lymph fluid flowing). Try massage or dry brushing
