Migra Cap - Natural Migraine and Headache Relief

September 15, 2004 -- Natural Migraine and Headache Relief

Migraine headaches affect around 10 per cent of the UK population, and are often associated with other physical symptoms. The condition is much more common in women than in men. Most people don't realise how incapacitating the pain from a migraine headache can be unless they've experienced one themselves.

A migraine is a vascular (blood vessel-related) headache that involves the excessive dilation or contraction of the brain's blood vessels. There are two types of migraine; common and classic.

In common migraines symptoms start slowly producing a throbbing pain that may last for two to seventy two hours. The pain is severe and is often centred at the temple or behind one ear. Alternatively it can begin at the back of the head and spread to one entire side of the head. It is usually accompanied by nausea, vomiting, blurred vision and tingling and numbness in the arms and legs that can last for up to 18 hours.

A classic migraine is similar to a common migraine but is preceded by a set of symptoms referred to as an aura, which can consist of speech disorders, weakness, and disturbances in the senses of vision and/or smell. The aura can consist of brilliant stars, sparks, flashes, or simple geometric forms passing across the field of vision. The most common symptom is an inability to see clearly. The visual disturbances may last for just a few seconds or persist for several hours and then disappear.

Any number of things can trigger a migraine in a susceptible individual including allergies, constipation, stress, liver malfunction, too much or too little sleep, emotional changes, hormonal changes, sun glare, flashing lights, lack of exercise, and changes in barometric pressure. Dental problems may also be a factor. Low blood sugar is also associated with migraines; studies have shown that blood sugar levels are low during an attack, and the lower the blood sugar level the more severe are the symptoms.

The conventional treatment for migraines include amitriptyline , diazepam and propranonol which are used as a preventative rather than as treatment for an acute attack. For acute attacks patients may well be exacerbating their condition as some pain relievers may actually increase the likelihood of an attack.

At bodykind.com we recognised the need for a natural alternative to migraine medicines and searched for a product that would benefit users without the need for prescription or non prescription medicines. The fruits of our labour was Migra-Cap, a completely natural migraine and headache treatment.

Migra-Cap works by applying cold pressure to the head, using integral cooling gel sachets to swiftly target the areas most commonly affected by pain, such as the temples and sides and back of the head and neck. It can also be pulled down over the forehead and eyes to create a dark environment, which can hasten recovery.

The soothing gel sachets within Migra-Cap can be pre-cooled and stored in a domestic fridge or freezer ready for use, and will stay cool for between 30 and 45 minutes, offering fast-acting relief from pain and tension.

Migra-Cap is made from breathable flexible Lycra and is designed to comfortably fit all head shapes. A cut-away area allows longer hair to be pulled out from between the cap and head for close contact and increased effectiveness.

Hywel Edwards, the inventor of Migra-Cap, developed the product based on his experience as a migraine sufferer. He spent a number of years searching for a means of alleviating the symptoms of migraine and is now keen to offer fellow sufferers a simple, user friendly means of reducing the discomfort and distress they experience with the condition.

In addition to migraine, Migra-Cap is designed to target the pain of tension, stress and sinus headaches and is effective in alleviating high temperatures and fevers.

The majority of migraine sufferers who have already tried the Migra-Cap have been highly satisfied with the results, with a reported success rate of over 80% in tests by the British Migraine Action Association.
