If you are open to trying a nontraditional method to relieve your migraines, balancing the charas is a completely safe and often effective option to consider. The word chakra is Sanskrit for wheel. The chakras, which run from the base of the spine to the crown of the head, are the seven main energy centers in the body. Each chakra is the energy center for a different part of the body or body system and affects the energy flow of both physical energy and emotions.
