\"AnA new study published in the journal Neurology<\/em> reveals the amazing effect of a simple practice.<\/p>\n

Migraine sufferers eliminated half of their migraine attacks while also reducing their medication by 50%.<\/p>\n

Plus, they reported much milder migraine attacks with less pain.<\/p>\n

The scientists recruited 114 people between 18 and 50, all of whom suffered between four and 14 migraines per month.<\/p>\n

They divided them into two groups: one that received medication only and one that received medication plus yoga.<\/p>\n

Before the treatment commenced, all the participants were asked to report the details of their migraines, the severity of pain and other symptoms, and the frequency of their attacks.<\/p>\n

The researchers also provided both groups with medication and lifestyle advice such as the need for exercise, healthy dieting, and adequate sleep.<\/p>\n

The yoga group was then given yoga instruction for a month, consisting of one-hour practice three times per week. The instruction included yoga postures, breathing exercises, and meditation.<\/p>\n

They then practiced yoga at home for five days a week for the following two months, as verified by their instructors.<\/p>\n

Throughout the treatment period, both groups were asked to keep a diary of their migraines, frequency, and duration of attacks, the severity of pain and other symptoms, the amount of medication taken, and so forth.<\/p>\n

Both groups experienced an improvement, but the yoga group benefited far more.<\/p>\n

The yoga group reduced their headaches from 9.1 to 4.7 attacks per month, a reduction of 48%. The medication-only group reduced theirs from 7.7 to 6.8 attacks per month, a reduction of 12%.<\/p>\n

The yoga group reduced their medication intake by 47% while the medication-only group reduced theirs by only 12%, showing that yoga can save you money too.<\/p>\n

Lastly, the yoga group reported a larger reduction in pain than the medication-only group did.<\/p>\n

The problem with migraine medication is that the drugs make no difference for many people; according to some studies, more than half of all people do not benefit from them.<\/p>\n

The main takeaway is that it is possible to significantly improve, and even eliminate, migraines with the right technique.<\/p>\n

For decades, I\u2019ve been helping migraine sufferers treating their condition using a practice somewhat similar to yoga breathing but more effective. You can learn this easy practice in a few minutes here\u2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
