NAUSEA, VOMITING, EXTREME SENSITIVITY TO LIGHT, NECK PAIN | SUFFERING FROM MIGRAINE HEADACHES FOR MORE THAN 45 YEARS | SUFFERING SINCE THE AGE OF 6

At the age of six, patient GN suffered from migraines. A migraine consists of a headache of varying intensity, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. It can cause severe throbbing pain or a pulsing sensation for hours to days. A migraine usually occurs on one side of the head and can be treated with pain-relieving and preventive medication.

However, GN didn't have a typical migraine. Her migraine was so severe that it led to migraine attacks. GN migraine attacks occur throughout her head and scalp, producing tension towards the back of her neck. It would last for hours, even up to several days. With such severity condition, her primary doctor prescribed propranolol, a beta blocker that is used to treat high blood pressure, irregular heartbeats, shaking (tremors), and other condition such as preventing migraine headaches and chest pain. Propranolol works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in the body to reduce the frequency of migraine attacks, and naproxen. Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that blocks the body's production of a certain natural substance that causes inflammation. It is used to relieve pain from various conditions such as headaches, muscle aches, tendonitis, and menstrual cramps. Nonetheless, after taking her medications, GN would still experience severe migraines.

Suffering from migraines for more than forty-five years, GN couldn't tolerate the pain any longer. GN was desperate to try anything other than modern medicine. On July 28, 2017, GN came into Agape Natural Health of Orange County seeking help to alleviate her migraine. During her consultation with Dr. Huang, GN expressed how much distress her migraine had affected her life. How recently, her headache has lasted for three months straight causing her head and scalp to ache, producing a discomfort at the back of her neck. With the constant pain on her head and neck, she underwent stress that brought on sleepless nights. After trying various medications prescribed by her primary physician, nothing helped with her migraines. As Dr. Huang took in GN concerns and reviewed her migraine history, he recommends a combination of acupuncture treatments and natural herbal medicine. Without any hesitation, GN began her treatment immediately.

Before GN treatments, she had tension on the occipital and left temporal portion of her head, neck pain and was tired and stressed. By committing to acupuncture treatments in conjunction with herbal supplements, it allows the body to heal naturally causing her body to go through a series of ups and downs. With precise acupuncture points for needle insertion, acupuncture encourages the body to promote natural healing and improve functioning by stimulating the meridian system. Meridian system is an energy channel that runs in regular patterns through the body and over its surface, allowing it to unblock any areas that may cause a backup and unbalance of the body from regulating properly. Acupuncture helps the body's internal organs to correct imbalances in their digestion, absorption, and energy production activities. In addition to acupuncture, herbal medicine contains between six to eighteen different herbs, making them a complete system. Within the herbal medicine, it consists of physical, biological, and chemical properties that promote, maintain and restore health by encouraging the body to strengthen the body's own healing power.  

After her first week of treatments at Agape Natural Health, GN reported she slept better and had more energy, but was still stressed. As GN actively continued her acupuncture treatments and herbal supplements, within three weeks, her headache was slowly subduing. GN indicated that her migraine felt 90 percent better. During her first month, she experienced four headaches that occur on her left temporal region and averaging six hours of sleep. Whereas before her treatments, she had headaches just about every day and was sleeping no more than four hours a night. There were times when GN went several weeks without experiencing any migraines and other times it would appear for less than two days. GN stress level and energy fluctuated each week, but as she progressively continued her acupuncture treatments and taking her herbal supplements, her stress level improved allowing her to gain more energy.

By committing to her acupuncture treatments and herbal supplements, her migraine improved tremendously. At the end of her six months, GN had no complaints because she felt completely better. She was no longer suffering from severe migraines. By dedicating to her treatment program, acupuncture and herbal medicine allow the body to promote healing by restoring its balance and improving her function to live a healthier lifestyle.
