Migraines and headaches can frustrate your daily life. To tackle them effectively, we need to address the source of the problem.
Common Causes of Headaches and Migraines
- Stress — a common trigger and unfortunately unavoidable part of modern life.
- Lack of Sleep — both too little and too much sleep can trigger migraines, as can dramatically changing sleep schedules.
- Intense Physical Exertion — overexerting yourself at work, home, or during exercise.
- Food — very salty or processed foods, skipping meals, and unhealthy dieting are common triggers.
- Unavoidable Causes — certain medications or weather changes can trigger migraines regardless.
A Spa Day to Relieve Tension and Pain
Treating yourself to a spa day can work wonders on persistent headaches or migraines. Taking a dip in a jacuzzi or pool is an excellent stress-reliever for tension headaches. Disconnecting from daily routines and electronic devices can also relieve pain caused by work stress.
Massaging a Migraine Away
Research suggests a constriction in blood flow to the brain can trigger migraines. Since facials and massages improve circulation, they can provide relief or prevention. Massages targeting the neck and shoulders ease tension that contributes to headaches, while the warm heated marble of a Turkish hammam also improves blood flow.
Restful Sleep
Sleep problems cause headaches and migraines. Maintain a consistent sleep schedule and aim for 7–9 hours. Spa treatments like massages can relieve tiredness, help you sleep more deeply, and provide an energy boost in the days that follow.
Meditation and Yoga
Studies show that meditation and yoga may be useful tools for migraine management. These practices reduce stress, increase self-awareness, and help reduce migraine frequency and severity — giving you a sense of control over your symptoms. Our Spa Club Membership includes access to yoga meetups.
