Core Products Helps Provides Relief During Summer Migraine Season
(PRWEB) July 25, 2013 -- Summer is Migraine season, and Core Products International is helping Americans afflicted with migraines find relief from the debilitating chronic headaches. The international health care product provider today outlined a list of seasonal causes for migraines, as well as ways to find relief.
For millions of Americans, the summer months can mean increased frequency and intensity of migraines. There are a number of seasonal factors that come into play during the summer that can trigger more frequent migraines.
Dehydration
The beautiful, warm and sunny weather that is the hallmark of summertime can also be fraught with peril if one does not keep themselves properly hydrated. In addition to the risk of heat stroke, people who are prone to migraines may find themselves suffering more frequently if they do not replace the water and sodium their body loses through sweating. Similarly, overhydrating, that is, drinking too much water, can throw off the electrolyte balance of a person’s body, and also potentially trigger a migraine.
Changes in Sleep Patterns
Longer summer days sometimes result in abnormal sleep patterns for people who stay up later than usual. If someone is migraine prone, too much or not enough sleep can make them especially susceptible to frequent migraines. Abnormal sleep can also impact a person’s diet, which can be another trigger for migraines.
Environmental
Environmental factors unique to the summer months, such as tree and grass pollen, along with other allergens, can be a big trigger for migraines. The effects of some of these allergens can be amplified by the increased humidity that some Americans will experience over the summer.
Perhaps the most prevalent environmental factor that can also trigger migraines is the summer heat. Hot weather can cause changes in body temperature, which can result in chemical imbalances, and of course, migraines.
Core Products International is ready to help provide relief to anyone suffering from chronic migraines this summer.
Cold packs are ideal in the hot summer months, particularly if the migraine has been induced by the heat outdoors. Cold sensations along the base of the neck and on the forehead help to reduce the painful inflammation that may trigger migraine headaches. Since migraines are also caused by the contraction of head and neck muscles, the cold packs can also help to relax those muscles, and alleviate the painful contracting sensations.
For anyone whose sleep patterns have been abnormally affected in the summertime, a cervical pillow such as the Tri-Core can be just what the doctor ordered. The Tri-Core Comfort Zone pillow offers superior neck support, and the added benefit of Outlast temperature balancing technology. The result is a deep, comfortable sleep with no overheating or waking up with the chills.
With the help of these remedies, and some persistence, most migraine sufferers should be able to spend their summer looking forward to their next adventure, rather than dreading their next migraine.
