Introduction Migraine, a prevalent neurological disease, is characterized by medium to severe headaches along with additional symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. The rising occurrence of migraines in contemporary society can be attributed to various factors, including stress, lifestyle changes, and environmental influences. The severity of migraine attacks can significantly impact an individual's standard of life, interfering with daily tasks, social activities, and even leading to incapacitation. Migraine Types There are several types of migraines, each with its unique characteristics: ● Migraine without aura: The most common type, characterized by intense headaches accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. ● Migraine with aura: This type is preceded by an aura, which can be sensory, motor, or optical warning symptoms. ● Chronic Migraine: Sufferers experience headaches for at least fifteen days per month, impacting daily life significantly. ● Menstrual migraine: Occurs before or during menstruation in females. ● Hemiplegic Migraine: Rare and severe, causing temporary paralysis or sluggishness on one side of the body, often accompanied by speech difficulties and visual problems. ● Retinal migraine: Impairs vision in one eye, accompanied by headache discomfort. ● Abdominal migraine: Common in children and teenagers, with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound.

Noticeable Symptoms in Patients Migraine symptoms can vary, but some common ones include severe pounding headaches, visual disturbances, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, hypersensitivity to sound and light, fatigue, attention issues, mood swings, and neck stiffness. Causes of Migraine Migraines can be triggered by a variety of factors, including genetic predisposition, food or beverage triggers, hormonal changes, environmental influences, blood vessel abnormalities, neurotransmitter imbalances, stress, lack of sleep, and certain medical conditions. Yoga Poses for Migraine Relief Their are several yoga poses for Migraine relief: ● Child Pose (Baalasana): Calms the body and mind, reducing stress and anxiety. ● Forward Fold (Uttanaasana): Promotes calmness and improves blood flow to the brain, reducing headache severity. ● Supine Twist (Suptaa Matsyendraasana): Loosens neck and spine muscles, promoting relaxation. ● Downward-Facing Dog (Adho Mukhaa Svanaasana): Lengthens and stretches the spine, releasing stress and improving circulation to the brain. ● Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhaasana): Opens the chest and shoulder area, providing relief and reducing tension. ● Legs-Up-The-Wall Pose (Viparitaa Karani): Promotes sleep, eases tension, and enhances blood flow. ● Alternate Nostril Breathing (Nadi Shodhana Praanayama): Balances energy circulation, promoting sleep and reducing stress. ● Corpse Pose (Shavasana): Provides complete relaxation, soothing the central nervous system and helping with migraine relief.

Benefits of Yoga for Migraine Patients There are several benefits of yoga for migraine problems.: ● Stress Reduction: Yoga helps in managing stress, reducing the frequency and severity of migraine attacks triggered by stress. ● Muscle Relaxation: Yoga stretches and releases muscles, alleviating migraine symptoms. ● Improved Blood Circulation: Better blood flow may reduce the pain and duration of migraines. ● Relaxation and Calmness: Yoga's calming effects are beneficial for migraine sufferers. ● Enhanced Sleep Quality: Regular yoga practice can improve sleep patterns and reduce the occurrence of migraine attacks. ● Posture Improvement: Strengthening the back and neck muscles through yoga can improve posture, potentially reducing migraine triggers. Conclusion: Integrating yoga into daily routines can enhance self-awareness, stress management, and long-term migraine control. However, it is essential to consult healthcare professionals or certified yoga teachers to tailor the practice to individual needs and ensure safe and effective inclusion into a migraine treatment plan.
