Magnetic Adjustable Headband for Headaches and Migraines


A magnetic head band is a very basis and functional strap that is placed around the head, much like a sweat band and is worn at the onset of a headache/migraine. A small price to pay for relieving symptoms of headaches and migraines.

Magnets are known to stimulate hormone production with in the body, it is this action that makes magnets extremely effective in the prevention and treatment of migraine headaches. When magnets are placed around the head the electromagnetic pulses generated by the magnetic field will cause increased electric activity with in the brain. This increases conductivity between neural pathways, which in turn stimulates the areas of the brain that are responsible for hormone production, namely the hormones serotonin and melatonin. Serotonin is the hormone that controls mood, commonly associated with migraine, stress and depression.

Melatonin is responsible for the internal body clock, it is associated with insomnia, seasonal dysfunction disorder and migraine. Magnetic fields around the head will gradually over a period of days increase the bodies levels of serotonin and melatonin plus magnets are known to increase the blood levels of endorphins which are known as happy hormones as they give a euphoric feeling, they also are the bodies natural pain killers. The combination of the increase of these 3 hormones will help prevent the onset of a migraine or if you already have a migraine it will be less intense plus the duration of the migraine will be greatly reduced. The one thing everyone agrees on is the lack of negative side effects of magnets. WARNING: There can be serious contraindications of magnetic therapy during pregnancy, or for small babies, if you are wearing a pacemaker, a defibrillator, an insulin pump or any other implanted electro-medical device placed in knees, etc. then one should avoid using magnetic products.
