79. Why Holiday Scents Trigger Migraines (And What to Do About It)


Listen Later

You walk into Home Goods and the candle aisle knocks you out. Your coworker lights a pumpkin spice candle. Someone cooks ground beef. 

Instant migraine.

Or maybe you're the one smelling everything, and no one else does.

This is odor sensitivity, and it's one of the most disruptive migraine symptoms.

Here's what's happening: When you breathe in an odor, you're breathing in molecules that your liver has to detoxify and eliminate.

Why does this happen?

Think of your body like a toxin bucket. Your liver drains it by processing metabolic waste and environmental toxins.

But if your liver doesn't have the nutrients it needs or the cellular voltage to run optimally, it slows down. The bucket fills up.

 

When your bucket is full to the brim, even small exposures like laundry detergent, perfume, a candle, for example, tip you over into a migraine.

You're hypersensitive because your toxin bucket is overflowing.

When we drain that bucket by addressing blockers in the first and third principles, your liver runs faster. The bucket level drops. And suddenly, you can tolerate your friend's fabric softener, your husband's legendary cooking, and browsing Home Goods without fleeing.

I've seen clients go from fleeing candle aisles to browsing for 30 minutes without noticing any smell.

This isn't genetic as many migrainers think it is. It's an overflowing toxin bucket, and it can be turned around.
