Almost 5 million in the U.S. experience at least one migraine attack per month, while more than 11 million people blame migraines for causing moderate to severe disability. Kelly Lott, the founder of Migraine Miracle, recently came to the Institute of Beauty and Wellness to teach prenatal massage. She gave us 5 tips on how you can help to alleviate migraine pain yourself.
