I kid you not! This is not the sort of thing I would normally say. Its not my sort of language but it was the only thing to explain how I felt. I had a migraine last week and I always get migraine with aura (flashing zig zag lights). Usually I just take a couple of tablets and lie down in a darkened room and it takes 3/4 days to get over it. Well......at the onset of the flashing lights I didn't want to be incapacitated for days. I was too busy, too much to do for my business. So... I started working on my feet (corresponding areas for head and eyes) for about 20 mins. Then worked on my hands to the same corresponding areas for 5 minutes on each hand. I am not going to lie and say it went completely but the flashing lights diminished within at least a third of the normal time. I still rested but instead of not being able to function properly I was able to meet a friend for a well earned coffee (decaffeinated of course) I decided to be an advocate for my own business and practice what I preach... I love reflexology
