The word Migraine is derived from the Greek word ἡμικρανία (hemikrania) which means "pain on one side of the head" - ἡμι- (hemi-) "half" and κρανίον (kranion) "skull".
Medical professionals are still baffled by what causes migraines in the first place often attributing it to stress or even genetics. With tests and MRI scans usually coming back negative and medication only providing moderate relief, conventional treatments rely on lifestyle changes and pills yet many patients still struggle with the symptoms.
For many years it was thought that these headaches were the result of a dilation of the blood vessels, caused by stress and tension. Present-day research now tends to favor alternative explanations. In some cases the emotional circumstances of the patient's life, past and present can influence the situation. Old memories or unresolved trauma can surface. Migraine headaches that stem from a past lifetime will cease to exist once the trauma is identified and resolved or removed through past life regression therapy.
Sushma* came to me with a case of extreme migraine which she had been suffering for the past 20 years.
On undergoing past life regression, she found herself in the year 1656 as a soldier on board a Spanish ship engaged in battle with the English. During the course of the battle he gets hit on the head and subsequently succumbs to his injuries and dies.
