Migraines:

Migraines are relatively common, believed to affect around 20 percent of adults in the UK. Often thought of as "just a bad headache" they are actually a neurological condition that can cause unbearable pain, tiredness, nausea, loss of vision, visual disturbances and numbness among other symptoms.

Cupping Therapy:

Cupping therapy is an ancient healing technique that some people use to ease pain. The therapy, which originates in Asia, involves cups being placed on one's back, stomach, arms, legs or other parts of the body. A vacuum or suction force is then applied from inside the cup to pull the skin upward. The therapy is said to be an effective practice to get rid of a severe pain.
