Probably the biggest reason why I became "sold" on Nikken was the relief from migraines provided by a number of the Nikken products. My first experience of total relief came from applying the mini's on both temples. If I had caught the Migraine before it was really ramped up to the full-on discomfort, then within 15 minutes, the thing was gone. I only had an echo of discomfort, which is sensitivity to light and sound and a very slight nausea. The next time I got one, it came on while I was sleeping and by the time I applied the mini's they only reduced the discomfort back down to a garden-variety head-discomfort but with no nausea. After sleeping on a sleep system, including an Intellirest pillow, and wearing the gold necklace, these episodes have disappeared. It's important to realize there are number of reasons why they occur and different doctors prescribe different medications depending on your age, lifestyle and overall health or medical condition. I'm NOT a believer in taking drugs but comprehensive exams by an MD and a chiropractor may reveal the conditions that exist to help "cause" these episodes, thus giving you a clue to what to avoid and how to reduce the occurrences, or in some cases, actually eliminate them. (I've heard of chiropractic adjustments making a big difference if mis-alignment is the "cause.") The Nikken products DO help greatly, but a total picture needs to be examined. It always means something is out of balance.

I worked with many people who wear the necklaces 24 hours a day and they're migraines stopped. If they leave the necklace off (loan it to someone) and the headache has started, the Solitens also works very well. Normally in 10-20 minutes the headache is gone. These products are wonderful!

I have migraines where periodically my vision gets very shaky, I get nauseated and then my head feels as though it is being beaten by a hammer. Usually the vision is the first thing to go. Twice I have spun the magboys at my head for 3-5 minutes and it has been almost like a light switch: the visual distortions turned off immediately! So when you feel this coming on, get your magboy and get to, because it is much easier to head off this problem than it is to stop it once it has been started. Also in my family, the magboy has stopped menstrual cramps in their tracks, however, I have found it takes at least 10-15 minutes of continuous massage to the abdomen to accomplish this.

My wife gets "chronic head in a vice" migraines. These are the bad ones that would often require hospital visits for injections and IV's and involve vision disruption and stomach upset. A Mini magnet placed on each temple helps the medication she can use at home work faster and appears to make it much more effective. When using the Mini, she also does not experience the "sore head" and light sensitivity afterwards. The Mini's are great for this condition because she often experiences pressure behind her right eye and is not comfortable with the weight of the sleep mask on her eye. One of my own experiences involved a terrible discomfort in my ear. My wife taped the mini right behind my ear and in minutes, no more discomfort. They also are great to help cuts "close up" faster and with much less evidence that there had even been a cut.

I used to suffer from major migraines, the kind where I'd get so sick I'd throw up, so severely that all the tiny capillaries around my eyes would burst. No fun at all. I used to take lots of Excedrin ... if I could hold it down. Then I found Nikkens magnets. The first one I used was a Magstep, on the back of the neck. Within an hour that two-day major headache was on its way out... without ANY drugs. Now that I'm on the sleep system and off prescription drugs, I get very few of these headaches. But if I ever do feel one coming on, I attach a mini to the back of my neck, around the area at the top of the spine where the bone sticks out the most. [Apparently down our spines there are a series of "energy centers" called chakras. It makes sense to me that a mini (or try a max for greater coverage of nerve endings) placed at the top of the spine would affect these serious headaches.] And it always does work. I'm VERY thankful to be freed of drugs, whether OTC or prescribed. And free of those headaches---------------------------------------------------------

I suffered from migraines for about 15 years. Last summer I started using a headband with 5 minis or 1-2 super minis plus 2 minis in October. I use that headband only when I feel a discomfort starting and usually get rid of all symptoms within minutes. Actually I had not had any headaches since getting on the sleep system until recently after helping my mother transition to the next dimension. I guess all the crying and stress had something to do with their return.

I had migaines for over thirty years. I tried different medication, it would go away for some days, but would come back. This would happen around three times per month until I tried the Nikken pillow and I've never had one since. Now I use the complete Sleep System. We always take our pillows and the travel mattress with us traveling. I wouldn’t live without them.

I have a customer who had had migraine headaches for 10 years. They ranged in intensity on a pain scale from a 2 to a 10 at all times. During a 21 Club we put a necklace on him and the headband. He got instant results. His headaches are now at 0. He wears the necklace at all times and wears the headband at times of stress or when the weather changes, etc. He is delighted to say the least.

I took 5 prescription drugs a day so I would only have 1 – 2 migraines a month and to relief my allergies. I have not taken 1 drug for 22 months and have had 1 migraine and very little allergies (no enough for drugs) I have worn a necklace for 24 months and also wear magsteps and sleep on a sleep system. I never take my necklace off unless I'm helping Mother Nature with my hair color. And I mean NEVER. The necklace stills looks like the day I purchased it.

I use to get 1 to 3 migraines a week, for years. About a 9 ½ on a level of 10 being ready to die. The necklace took them away. Its been 18 months. I have had 4 since then. 2 because I lent my necklace. And the other 2 were no where as strong as usual. I could actually function but I knew it was a migraine because I had a sick stomach.

I was experiencing severe (just let me die!) migraines just before or just after my monthly cycle. Since I've been wearing the necklace and sleeping on the mattress I have experienced a little head discomfort every once in a while. I have not taken any medication for months.

I was a severe migraine sufferer for YEARS. I have been free 2 years today. The necklace is what prevents them. Every single person I have helped with the same problem, get the same results. Some times I get a headache. Totally bearable. The migraines put me to bed, and totally sick to my stomach. (nothing else has ever gotten me down)

For my migraines I have very successfully used a mini (try a mini first then only if needed go to a super mini) on the back of the neck. There is a spot (Indian medicine calls it a chakra, an energy center) on the top of the spine, it is around the biggest bony protuberance between the shoulders, directly over the spine and (on me) about three inches below my hair line. When I feel a migraine coming on, I tape a mini there, and the migraine does not develop. The necklace does not work the same way for me, I don't know why. Others use a max (larger circle) on the same spot, it simply covers more nerve cells. All the best - migraines are worth avoiding!!!

I have had my necklace for a little over two years now, and have been completely free of migraines. I have suffered from migraines since 1969, and literally went through nursing school eating Excedrin. I went the route with my family doc injecting my neck muscles with cortisone to going to the headache clinic at the Cleveland Clinic. I got temporary relief from the exercises from the clinic, but finally I discovered Nikken, by the grace of God. Since then migraines have been history.

I was a chronic migraine sufferer (2-3 a week). I had damaged by back in a work related accident. I was also having stomach trouble. All these problems cleared after sleeping on a sleep system and using a back flex - All it took was 3 days.

A friend of mine was having very frequent migraines. She has been using the PiMag bottle and necklace for one month. She just called to tell me that she hasn't had any migraines since using the products. She was practically living on analgesics and now she doesn't have to take them.

My new wellness consultant started to develop a migraine as we were talking. She was under pressure to get to her job earlier than planned. I handed her my Nikken necklace. Within minutes she told me the headache was subsiding. She wore it for her eight hour job, on her feet, and never developed the headache. She gets them quite often. She was thrilled to NOT get one this time. She has ordered her own.

I have witnessed a woman, who felt a migraine coming on, improve immediately when I loaned her my necklace. She felt the aura diminishing. She wore it to work as a grocery checker and the headache never developed. She has purchased her own. Under extreme stress occasionally a migraine may reoccur.

My father in-law, who is an accountant, suffered for years with migraine headaches. It was just part of life for him to take prescribed medicine for his migraine headaches. We suggested he try wearing a Nikken necklace. He very skeptically tried it, and he has never had a migraine since. That is over five years ago now.

Our daughter suffered from very frequent migraines for years, now it's rare. Products she uses are: PiMag/Optimized water (around a gallon a day), necklace, sleep system, PalmMag, Air Power5, Ciaga, JGZ, Women's, Calcium, Lactoferrin, Immunity and other products as needed (she is a violinist and sometimes gets aches related to playing the instrument for a long period of time).

From age 11, I have suffered from debilitating migraine headaches. At first, I go blind, then can’t speak and have about 25 minutes to get into a dark room before the agonizing pounding in my temple hits. Drugs have never helped. In September, 2000, I was introduced to Nikken. I hoped the necklace would possibly give me an extra 5 minutes to get into my dark room. After 4 months, still migraine free, I was at a Christmas party with a friend who complained of a pounding sinus headache, so I gave her my chain because I’d seen it help with congestion. Twenty minutes later, she bounced up to me and declared not only her headache gone, but her sinuses were miraculously cleared. But during the time she had my necklace (she paid for it), I had a horrific migraine. As soon as the new one arrived, I put it on and have never taken it off since. I am thrilled to report that was December 2000 and I haven’t had ONE migraine since.

I suffered from migraines until I used the sleep system and the necklace. Mine used to start as Charlie horse up my back and then turn into jack hammer pounding which could keep in bed for up to 3 days. And affect my great humor. After I put the necklace on to stop the Charlie horse from spreading up my back, a couple hours later I only had a mild headache that I could live with. After 5 years the only time I have had a migraine is the one time I lent my necklace to my sister who did not return it for 3 weeks. I found after 5 years that I can have the necklace off for about a week before mild headaches reappear. I just don't let it get past that point.

My daughter suffered from migraines for 4 years. She would be in bed for 6 days twice a month. She was allergic to the medications so she suffered. I was worried about how I was going to send her off to college. She allowed me to use the comforter, pillow and mask on her. With those three products, I sent her off to college. She was able to lengthen the time between migraines to every other month. About six months ago she told me that she hadn't suffered a full blown migraine in 2 years. When she gets the feeling of a migraine coming on, she lays on her sleep system, puts the mask on and within one to two hours her headache is gone.

My daughter has migraines that are hormone induced. As long as she wears the necklace, she has no problem with migraines. She also sleeps on a sleep system. She was still having problems with migraines until the necklace became available.

I used to get migraines quite often. I have found that the Nikken necklace (I have the "old" gold one) does wonders for me. Also, since I don't have caffeine in my diet on a regular basis, if I drink a regular Pepsi (not the diet) at the beginning of the headache, I can usually ward off the full attack. I've worn the necklace every day now for several years, and it's really made a difference. I also drink optimized PiMag water. I LOVE Nikken products.

I met a woman 9 years ago who had severe migraines about once a month and took very strong prescription meds that helped after a period of days. I gave her a Roll Out and then she started wearing the necklace and sleeping on the total sleep system. After about 2 to 3 months she began to have less severe headaches. Soon after she had minor ones that just over-the-counter meds helped. She now hasthem very seldom, far apart and like a regular headache like the rest of us that aspirin helps get rid of in an hour or so.

I have suffered migraines since I was a teenager. The one thing that has kept them down is the necklace. I wear it 24 hours a day and only take it off for a shower. The headband and sleep mask help when I have a migraine. I also have a complete wellness home. I sleep on the old Nikken mattress and feel the benefits of the cocoon each day. I love the water and drink plenty especially when I feel one approaching. The new organic vitamins really help too.
