All the old school cartoons and movies when a character was sick always had their feet in hot water.

I wish! I have tried and it did not work on me. I just came off of a two month Migraine 😵‍💫

[Kvnamps]

I get cluster migraines which are sometimes debilitating. I’am going to try by putting a hot water bottle on my feet!

[mamatlacuacha]

Heat on the feet and ice on the head is the advice my mother always gives for a migraine. It does not work for every kind of migraine, but it will work for the kind caused by too much vasodilation in the head.

[Freya]

Tired this so many times on different types of migraines. Hasn’t worked on one yet!!

An ice pack on the back of your neck tells for a similar reason - it causes the blood vessels in your neck and head to constrict. Ice packs at the place of pain also helps to dull the pain. I have been getting Chronic, Nauseating, Blinding, Aura-Produving Migraines (sometimes ~ 20 times per month) for many years.

My mom has a migraine behind her eye will this still work

[Yeshuaschild]

I've never been told this but I'm definitely going to try it

[michaelkline]

Forgot it! I’ll stick with my Sumatriptan it works in about 10 minutes and I have been taking it since it was approved since I was one of the test subjects

[cherrybombsundae]

I wish this worked for mine, I'm glad it worked for her though, they absolutely suck.

[grievingsage]

I think that depends on the migraine type (Tension, cluster, other). My migraines start at the base of my neck. Ill try this.

[elaboratelizard]

Except there are plenty of conditions that also counter indicate this. I have POTS and this would annihilate me.

You know this doesn't work when you say you're a "doctor" rather than your specific field of study, you could be a radiologist talking about migraines, you could even be a dentist, the chance that you know absolutely nothing about this is infinitely higher than the chance that you know anything about this.

[MarieA-ccof]

I get signs my migraines going to come like tingles on my arm, cheeks or tounge. Sometimes my stomach is upset my eye sight will start to see blind spots. If I go in a dark room or cover my eyes it will stop the migraine from coming. It's the light that makes it worse.

WHEN I GET BAD CRAMPS ON MY FEET I PUT MY FEET IN HOT WATER... THEN I CURL UP MY FEET TO SEE IF THE CRAMPS HAVE DISAPPEARED. ONCE THE CRAMPS STOP THEN YOUR DONE, THEN PUT WARM SOCKS ON...

[MichelleQ]

I will be trying this. I’m sick of the medication and the way it makes me feel afterwards

[fattymatty]

So does cinnamon sugar get rid of hiccups?

[joannafox]

That may help for a headache, but my migraines are not caused by increased blood pressure in the brain

[OmegaLegion]

I used to have migraines when I was a kid because of seizure attacks..
Only one thing calmed me, soaking my feet in hot water that has normal table salt solved in it..
Of course I needed Valproic acid for my seizures at the same time

[mexicashiando]

Wow thats cool! I don't have migraines thanks to God but I use to put my feet in super hot water after a long day of work as a waitress and it was the most relaxing feeling ever. I would feel the tenssion and stress leaving my body; it's an amazing feeling. 😊
