What is ‘therapeutic touch’?
In a recent post I made about my ‘migraine cave‘ (which is the room I retreat to when I feel unwell), my friend Michelle from the Greenwell Centre blog (here), recommended the advantages of having a family member trained in Therapeutic Touch so that they can assist you during a…

Lymphatic drainage for migraines
Today’s post is an enquiry into the latest trend that has been burning up my newsfeed: Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD). I know we have lymph nodes, but it never occurred to me you could ‘drain’ them… I’ve written in the past about different healing options I’ve spotted online, such as…

The military sleep method
I recently wrote a post (here) about how I help myself fall asleep by saying the alphabet backwards as I practice deep breathing. Well, my computer must have overheard my typing, because it started to feed me news links to other sleep methods. The method I was most intrigued by…
