Episode notes

Migraine is caused by activation of the trigeminal nerve. It's the main nerve that gives sensation to the covering of the brain and also to the face and scalp. And so many people who have migraine may not actually have a headache. They may feel like, Oh, I'm getting sinusitis, but never really develop because that branch is getting activated.

Rudrani "Rani" Banik is a board-certified Integrative ophthalmologist and fellowship-trained neuro-ophthalmologist. She combines traditional medical approaches to eye conditions and migraines with an integrative, holistic approach based on nutrition, lifestyle modification, and other natural therapies. Her latest book, Beyond Carrots: Best Foods For Eye Health A to Z, is out now.
