"This app has made it easier to manage my migraine headaches. I used to get them every week, but now I just take out the app and they usually just go away" - Ellen Benayoun, Sunderland
"I use the app when I get an aura and I don't get any headaches or nausea" - Paolo Cresques, Lincoln
When you feel like you are about to get a migraine headache, simply start up the app and go through 10 cycles, keeping up with the prescribed rhythm. Several studies have found that by increasing the oxygenation of the blood you can prevent vasoconstriction of the cerebral blood vessels and prevent the full course of a migraine headache.
Use this app regularly to improve your breathing. Switch on improver mode to push yourself to better oxygenate your body. Feel an instant difference.
Originally taught by Yogis from India, the app will instruct you to breathe at a ratio that is improves oxygenation and reduces vasoconstriction.
