Doctors are under tremendous pressure by drug manufacturers to place as many people as possible on lifelong maintenance drugs. All too often, both doctors and patients fail to realize that long-term use of headache drugs can lead to helplessness, hopelessness, depression and anxiety. In turn, these negative emotions merely exacerbate headache pain.

In reality, virtually all the functions achieved by drugs can also be achieved by using natural, drugless therapies instead. For example, drugs attempt to stop headache pain by intervening in bodily processes that are normally controlled by the involuntary nervous system. Most doctors consider that anything controlled by the involuntary nervous system is beyond our personal control. But behavioral medicine has effectively smashed this cherished belief by demonstrating that we can gain indirect control of several of the most important body functions involved in the headache process. In headache therapy, by warming the hands and feet, we can draw blood away from the head and forestall a migraine attack.
