What makes the Auracol stand out as an effective classic migraine treatment?

Effective

When used correctly, the Auracol has proved successful in over 80+ percent of classic migraine attacks. Unlike some migraine treatments, where a patient has to wait weeks for any beneficial results, the Auracol works immediately and independently of any medical professionals, invasive surgery or medications. The Auracol can also be used in combination with prescribed medication.

Non-Invasive

No pills or medication involved, no dental shields, no electronic or magnetic zappers no implants and no surgery. The Auracol is placed on the head for only 15-45 minutes like a set of headphones.

Alleviates symptoms of classic migraine

Using the Auracol greatly alleviates classic migraine symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light. Extended use of the Auracol device also reduces frequency of attacks.

Can Be Used With Migraine Medication

The Auracol can be used in combination with painkillers and other migraine medications. Many sufferers of common migraine are dependant on conventional medications, such as triptans, ergots and beta-blockers. Because the Auracol brings instant relief, it can be used to suppress headache pain until the patient’s prescribed medication begins to take effect. This is useful in social situations and in the workplace, and when time is a factor. Even with a combined approach, sufferers should aim to wear the Auracol as soon as possible once the aura phase, the headache or other warning signals, have begun.

No side effects

No adverse effects reported. Because there is no medication involved, the Auracol is a safe solution for pregnant women, nursing mothers, young people and classic migraine sufferers who have heart disease or any other ailments that prevent them from using conventional migraine medication.

Easy to use

The Auracol is discreet and can be used anywhere, anytime, and because it is so compact and lightweight, it can be carried in your pocket, handbag or glove compartment. Unlike other migraine treatments, when using the Auracol there are no doctors, dentists, surgeons or complicated machinery involved in treating your headache.

One-time Buy

Every Auracol is produced and assembled by hand in the Netherlands and undergoes stringent quality control checks. The Auracol’s high quality components ensure that the device lasts for years, which makes it the most cost-effective treatment on the market for preventing classic migraine headache pain.

Safe to use during pregnancy & breast-feeding

During pregnancy, some women experience an increase in the number, as well as the severity, of their migraine attacks, while others experience fewer and less painful migraine headaches. For a very small number of women, migraines will occur for the first time during their pregnancy. Taking conventional migraine medication is not recommended during pregnancy or breast-feeding because of the harm it might do to the growing fetus or young baby.

The Auracol is the ideal solution for migraines during pregnancy and breast-feeding, as wearing the device prevents headache pain effectively while posing no threat to mother or baby.

Safe for teenagers and young adults

Many teenagers and young adults who suffer from classic migraines do not wish to take conventional medications such as the Triptans, ergotamine and beta-blockers because of their potential risks and unpredictable side effects.
Also, many parents of teenage migraine sufferers do not wish to expose their children to the possible long-term negative effects of such heavy medication.

The Auracol is ideal for teenagers and young adult migraine sufferers because it provides a safe and effective treatment for classic migraine headache pain without the use of drugs.

Safe for heart patients

Most heart patients who suffer from classic migraines are not allowed to take conventional migraine because of the harmful risks these medications pose. In particular, the Triptans are not allowed, as they are believed to cause the blood vessels of the heart (known as coronary arteries) to spasm. This spasm narrows the blood vessel and decreases the amount of oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood that is able to get to the heart muscle.

By contrast, the Auracol provides a risk-free and effective alternative for heart patients, and is ideal for any migraine sufferers who, through ill-health, have been advised against taking conventional medications.

Avoids the Rebound Effect

Common among migraine sufferers, rebound headaches occur when pain medication is overused. Overuse causes the body to become resistant to the medication, so to be effective, larger doses are required, leading to even further resistance. The result is often more frequent headaches or a worsening of existing symptoms. Rebound headaches are possible if medication for treatment or prevention of headaches is used three or more times a week.

Using the Auracol avoids the ‘rebound effect’ because no medication is involved. In fact, extended use of the Auracol reduces the frequency of attacks.
 

How The Auracol Works

Weighing just over 2 ounces (60 grams) and consisting of light, durable materials, the Auracol works by exerting a constant pressure to the Superficial Temporal Arteries throughout the entire aura phase, stopping your headache dead in its tracks and alleviating debilitating symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light.

To be effective, this technique must be started at the first sign of the visual aura and continued until the aura has completely subsided.

Auracol’s technique of exerting pressure on the Temporal Arteries is supported by research from a Harvard Doctor whose digital massage of the temporal arteries proved successful in 81% of classic migraine attacks.

The Auracol’s method of treatment is backed up by research conducted by Harvard neurologist, Dr Stuart Lipton, MD, Ph.D., who reports that patients who suffer from migraine preceded by visual auras - or classic migraine - could prevent these incapacitating headaches by vigorously exerting pressure on, and massaging the Temporal Arteries by using the middle and index fingers.

Doctor Lipton’s technique, which he calls Digital Massage, successfully treats all patients 81 percent of the time (34 out of 42 attacks).

Since his article on Classic migraine appeared in the Annals of Neurology in 1986, Dr Lipton notes, that if the technique is carried out correctly and the pressure is applied to exactly the right area and as soon as the aura begins, the success rate jumps to nearly 90 percent.

Is it for me?

The Auracol is especially suitable for migraine patients who suffer from CLASSIC MIGRAINE – that is, migraines preceded by an aura or visual disturbance. It has also proved very effective in cases of Tension Headaches and mixed Migraine/Tension Headaches.

The Auracol provides a therapeutic alternative for those who cannot or choose not to take conventional migraine medication, such as patients who have heart disease or pregnant/lactating women.

The Auracol can also be used in combination with prescribed medication.

Classic Migraines

The Auracol is mostly suited for headaches with aura because the exact moment to begin wearing the device is clearly defined i.e. as soon as the aura phase begins.

Tension Headaches

The Auracol has proved to be very effective in cases of tension headaches. Begin wearing the device as soon as the headache begins, and for no longer than 1 hour.

Mixed Migraine/Tension Headaches

Patients have reported that the Auracol is extremely effective in cases of mixed migraine and tension headaches. Begin wearing the device as soon as any warning signals begin, and for no longer than 1 hour.

Common Migraines

A Common Migraine is a migraine without an aura. The Auracol is especially suited for Classic Migraines, but has been used successfully to eliminate common migraine headaches.

Even though an aura is absent, sometimes a common migraine sufferer is able to recognize warning signals before an attack. As soon as there is any kind of warning, this is the time to begin wearing the Auracol.

The Auracol device can also be used to suppress headache pain until any prescribed medication begins to take effect.

Normal Headaches

Although the Auracol works best for Classic Migraines, it has been used to successfully suppress normal headaches. Begin wearing the device as soon as the headache begins, and for no longer than 1 hour.

Pregnant and Breast-Feeding Women

The Auracol provides a safe, effective and drug-free solution for migraines during pregnancy and breast-feeding, as the device prevents headache pain, while posing no threat to mother, growing fetus or baby.

Teenagers and Young Adults

Many teenagers and young adults who suffer from classic migraines do not wish to take conventional medications because of their potential risks and unpredictable side effects. The Auracol is ideal because it provides a safe and effective treatment for classic migraine headache pain without the use of drugs. Please contact your doctor if you have any questions or concerns.

Heart Patients

Most heart patients who suffer from classic migraines are not allowed to take conventional migraine because of the harmful risks these medications pose. The Auracol provides a risk-free and effective alternative for heart patients, and is ideal for any migraine sufferers who, through ill-health, have been advised against taking conventional medications. Please contact your doctor if you have any questions or concerns.

For Mothers and Expectant Mothers

If you suffer from migraine headaches, you will find advice and information on this page on what to expect and what to avoid if you are trying to conceive, or if you are already pregnant or breast-feeding. Please note that it is important to consult your doctor if you have any questions or concerns about your health during this time. When expecting, a mom-to-be should always consult with her physician prior to taking any medication during pregnancy.

Planning your Pregnancy with Migraines

Planning a pregnancy is one of the most exciting and important events in any woman’s life. Naturally you want to give yourself the best possible chance of conceiving, so in addition to the usual precautions like getting enough sleep, exercising and eating well, it’s a good idea, if you suffer from frequent migraines, to use this time before conception to study exactly what triggers your migraine headaches.

One method is to keep a food and drink diary and record any possible stressors that may contribute to your migraine attacks. Suffering from debilitating migraines can make planning your pregnancy more complicated because of the many types of conventional migraine medications you should avoid because of the risks they might pose to your unborn child.

For women trying to conceive, most specialists agree that they should discontinue medication whenever possible. Prescription migraine medications such as Imitrex, Zomig, Relpax and barbiturates taken during pregnancy (and the time period before your pregnancy has been confirmed) are dangerous to the developing fetus.

Nurofen Maximum Strength Migraine Pain belongs to a group of medicines called NSAID (Non Steroid Anti Inflammatory Drugs), which may impair fertility in women. This is reversible upon stopping the medicine. It is unlikely that Nurofen Maximum Strength Migraine, used occasionally, will affect your chances of coming pregnant. However, tell your doctor before taking this medicine if you have problems conceiving.

Dealing With Migraines During Pregnancy

If you are an expectant mother who suffers from migraine headaches, there is good news and bad news. The good news is, that many sufferers experience far fewer migraine attacks than normal during pregnancy However, if you are one of the unlucky few, your migraines can become more frequent or can even begin for the first time while you are expecting.

How can an expectant mother treat her migraine headaches?

This is a dilemma because so many conventional medications can pose a risk to your growing fetus and most women are reluctant to take any kind of pain relievers at all during this time. Migraine drugs known as Triptans, which include drugs such as Imitrex, Amerge and Relpax, should be avoided in pregnancy, except in extreme cases and then only with a physician’s approval.
As well as preventing migraines by identifying triggers and getting enough sleep, many women opt for alternative treatments. But even so-called ‘natural’ herbal treatments such as pills containing ‘feverfew’ (tanacetum parthenium ), a member of the sunflower family, which has been used for centuries in folk medicine as a remedy for headaches, is contraindicated during pregnancy.
Mild medication such as Tylenol IS allowed during pregnancy, but when the headache begins, it is often not enough to provide adequate pain relief.

Migraines While Breast-Feeding

Breast milk is nature’s healthiest food choice for your baby. Not only is breast-feeding convenient for mothers and nutritious for newborns, but it also helps boost your baby’s immune system and prevent allergy related illnesses such as hay fever, asthma and eczema. Breast-feeding also helps a new mother to lose any weight gained during her pregnancy.
As with pregnancy, many conventional migraine medications are not advised during this period, so migraine sufferers are again limited to very few treatments to relieve their headache pain.

The Best Classic Migraine Treatment For Expectant Mothers?

The Auracol device is perfectly safe to use if you’re pregnant or breast-feeding because it is drug-free and there are no side effects. It is effective because it prevents your classic migraine headache from occurring and it is convenient because you can carry it with you everywhere and use it exactly when needed - as soon as you experience your first aura symptoms.
