A healthy sex can not only refreshes the mind but also can be beneficial to health. One of them, sex can treat migraines or headaches.
The reason why sex can cure migraine is due at the time of orgasm, the body releases certain chemicals in the brain that work to reduce migraine.

"In addition, when an orgasm the body releases endorphins which work to relieve pain," explained Dr Alexander Mauskop of the New York Headache Center, as reported by everydayhealth, Saturday (05/03/2011).
Endorphins are chemicals such as opiates, which is associated with feelings, positive feelings and happy, and save the message of pain to the brain.
Unlike painkillers that could take up to 15 minutes to work, this body chemicals immediately worked on and off the migraine.
Migraine is a genetic and the people who are vulnerable to migraine are also more prone to develop the kinds of headaches. Although the most common migraine symptoms such as sensitivity to light, sound, some smell, nausea and a constant throbbing pain, but the cause of migraine is different for each person.
According to Dr. Mark W. Green, director of the Headache Medicine at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, there are thousands of genes and chemical combinations that govern the tendency for migraines.
But in some people with certain health conditions, sex can actually trigger headaches. This is because sex can increase blood pressure and causes dilation of blood vessels in the brain.
"Sex as well as the sport that is physical activity. When people are prone to headaches, so severe pressure on the back and neck during sex can trigger the recurrence of headaches," explained Dr Mauskop.
