If you suffer from migraines, then this hack is for you.

Doctor Sood, on his TikTok account, stitches a video of Andrea Eder, a business coach, boiling her kettle as part of a home remedy for migraines, as she explains that in order to mitigate the pain, you should stand in the hottest water you can handle.

Now, while this might sound like an old remedy that your grandparents might tell you to do, that’s not actually helpful. Doctor Sood is here to tell you otherwise.

He explains that by standing in hot water, you will expand the blood vessels in your feet. This will pull blood away from the blood vessels in your head, which are under strain during the migraine.

This rush of blood away from the head should relieve much of the pressure and pain from the migraine and leave you with no side effects.

Just be very careful not to burn your feet!

He says in the video: “If you suffer from migraine headaches, here’s a hack to try, which has zero side effects and may help. Soaking your feet in hot water. But why exactly does this help? This will dilate the blood vessels in your feet, pulling blood away from your head, which will ease the pressure on the blood vessels causing your migraine, which will in turn decrease your pain.”

He then urges people to reply in the comments if they try the hack, and the feedback has been positive.

Many report trying the migraine trick downgraded their crippling migraine to just a mild headache, with some reporting a complete cessation of all the symptoms. So it seems like this one is the real deal.
