After 34 years of the occasional tension headache, readily relieved by a single, average pain reliever, I’ve started having migraines.
So I, of course, start googling.
I’ve always been a believer in acupuncture, I’ve just never had cause to make use of it before; I do now.
But, it’s the results that came up for aromatherapy that took me back a moment. I have been practically addicted to mint since I was old enough to know what it was. But in the last little while, I have been ending up with mint, rosemary, eucalyptus and lavender…everything. Deodorant, dish washing soap, teas, lotion, never mind essential oils. My brain knew what it needed.
My friend has just gone through an intense medical imaging session so her docs could get a good look at her brain and this radically altered her treatment plan for her conditions. And her new, medically authorized plan very closely approximates her previous self-medicating habits.
Her brain knew what it needed.
Okay, this isn’t a particularly spiritual or poetic post. But it is leaning toward intuition, listening and awareness. Now, if I listen a little more, perhaps I already know not only how to help alleviate my migraine, but how to prevent another.
