Important Yoga Poses To Heal Migraine
Yoga’s relaxation techniques are thought to calm the body’s nervous system. This action on the nervous system is believed to reduce the activities in the brain that lead to migraines. Yoga also has a positive impact on certain chemicals in the body and in the brain, which may also help migraine sufferers.
Researchers also believe yoga increases the chemical serotonin, which relays signals from one area of the brain to another. Serotonin also eases the tightening of the brain’s blood vessels, so migraines and serotonin levels are believed to be closely related.

Other common symptoms include vomiting, nausea and pain aggravation due to physical activity.
It is also believed that migraine is the most common neurological condition and is more common than asthma, epilepsy and diabetes combined together.
Yoga for migraine, especially for the breathing exercises and relaxation techniques, is simply a great prevention tool to have in your arsenal.
