Massage Eases Migraines
A research study out of New Zealand shows that massage can reduce the severity of migraine headaches. Those that participated in the study also found they did need to take their migraine medication as often as before.
Out of 47 migraine sufferers who took part in the study, half the group that received a 45-minute massage of the upper body and head region once a week for six weeks, in addition to their standard medication, got fewer migraines than those who didn't receive the massage.
