After 18 years of debilitating migraines, I discovered that synthetic fragrances were the hidden trigger my doctors never mentioned.

When I recently experienced my first severe migraine in over a decade after returning from Bali, I immediately knew what to do. And guess what? It didn't involve medication that had previously damaged my gut and liver!

Here's what actually worked for me:

👉🏻I started with super-hydrating water packed with electrolytes and magnesium

👉🏻put a drop of peppermint oil on the roof of my mouth (game-changer for nausea!)

👉🏻diffused M Grain essential oil blend to calm my nervous system.

👉🏻When that wasn't enough, I grabbed my ice mask, rolled Deep Relief on my hairline, laid on my acupressure mat, and finished with a session of red light therapy. The result? I woke up completely migraine-free with zero brain fog.

In this episode, I break down exactly what I did to combat my worst migraine in years, why it worked, and how you can create your own holistic migraine toolkit. Whether you're a chronic sufferer or experience occasional headaches, you'll learn practical, natural alternatives to medications that address the root causes rather than just masking symptoms.

In today's episode, we're chatting about:

• How synthetic fragrances and other toxins can trigger migraines

• The power of peppermint essential oil for immediate relief

• Why specialized tools like ice masks and acupressure mats make a difference

• How red light therapy reduces inflammation and migraine pain

• The importance of proper hydration with electrolytes and magnesium
