Can Touch Hurt Migraine?

One troublesome symptom of migraine is skin hypersensitivity during an episode, a condition called allodynia. Anything touching the skin and even the hair—a hat, clothing, eyeglasses—can feel painful or overwhelming. 

A migraine sufferer might avoid touch therapy for fear it could cause more pain, which is possible with a massage that uses movement, too much pressure, or works too quickly, especially with a body holding chronic tightness, tension, and myofascial pain.

The Mundo Method approach is unique; this very gentle touch protocol modulates, quiets, stills, and releases a migraine’s sensations during an episode, along with accompanying symptoms. Interestingly, the protocol uses mind-body techniques to move toward instead of away from the pain to conquer it.

Early on in my experience, my hands would naturally find the heart of the pain on someone’s head (and my own) without thinking about it. When I transcribed into written instructions two decades of hands-on headache knowledge, my clients were able to relieve their own migraines. Around this I created my comprehensive relief and prevention Mundo Program because why suffer?

In 2006 I added phone and video sessions and found I could teach the protocol even without the benefit of in-person touch training, which later proved essential during pandemic times.

This means that when you are too sick with migraine to go get help, you can help yourself and turn your day around! I am grateful and amazed to have had this powerful, natural migraine therapy for fifty years that helps so many people (and me) to heal their pain, minus side effects.

Pandemic World: How My Communal Past Helps Me Cope

As our modern-day plague began to ripple through the USA, I wondered why community-minded health measures weren’t obvious to everyone? In “Pandemic World: How My Communal Past Helps Me Cope,” I explore how my fifteen years on a hippie commune help me get by today. Maybe it will help you too. I hope you enjoy and share! May all be safe. May all be well.

As published in Honeysuckle Magazine. Click to read the full article:

“In this global pandemic, news from the fronts changes moment by moment, and millions of people are plugged into a whole-world effort: a war to beat a microscopic enemy, ten times as deadly as the flu. With the estimated exponential growth rate, the speed of time seems to have elongated, and the cycle of one day seems like a year or million. Worldwide, the pandemic happened so quickly, yet I feel like I’m watching events unfold in slow motion.”

How to Heal Headaches and Migraines with Jan Mundo, CMSC, CMT

I’m honored and delighted to be interviewed on “New Thinking Allowed” by host, author, and psychologist Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD!

I’m a longtime fan, of this series of “Conversations on the Leading Edge of Knowledge and Discovery,” dating back to its 1988-2002 run on PBS. The show’s “guests include leading figures in philosophy, psychology, health, science, and spirituality — with a healthy and respectful emphasis on parapsychology.”
