Introduction
Headaches are common, but migraine is much more than an ordinary headache. It is a neurological condition that can cause severe, recurring headaches along with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Migraine attacks can last from a few hours to several days, affecting work, family life, and overall well-being.

Millions of people worldwide experience migraines, and women are affected more frequently than men. Although there is no permanent cure, proper diagnosis, medical care, lifestyle changes, and supportive wellness approaches can help reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks.
Along with conventional medical treatment, many people also explore Nadipathy Therapeutic Treatment as a complementary approach to support overall wellness.
What is Migraine?
Migraine is a neurological disorder characterized by repeated episodes of moderate to severe headache, usually affecting one side of the head. It may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and increased sensitivity to light, sound, or certain smells.

Migraine attacks vary from person to person in both intensity and frequency.
