The term "guided imagery" may be used to refer to a number of techniques, including metaphor, story telling, fantasy, game playing, dream interpretation, drawing, visualization, active imagination, or direct suggestion using imagery. Therapeutic guided imagery may be used by therapists to help patients relax and focus on images associated with personal issues they are confronting. Initial research suggests that guided imagery may provide added benefits when used at the same time as standard medical care for migraine or tension headache.

DAYNA I became believer in reflexology. Basically, rubbing the bottom of the feet, the most tender points, eliminated headaches, migraines, and vertigo.

MICHAELA I went to an acupressure practitioner and it took a while, but basically pressure applied to the temples and massaging in a circular motion relieved headache. there is obviously more to this than trying at home.
