Meghan Markle has always been open about her health issues, including her ongoing battle with chronic migraines, which are a type of headache typically characterized by severe, throbbing pain, usually on only one side of the head.
Migraines, which Markle described in a 2015 interview as “debilitating,” had been a constant in her life since her youth. Back then, the future duchess and budding actress revealed that she had had to be hospitalized on several occasions due to these intense episodes.
In a recent confession, the Duchess of Sussex has attributed the relief of this pathology to acupuncture and Eastern medicine, stating that these treatments “changed my life completely.”
After trying various treatments, the Duchess of Sussex found an effective ally in acupuncture, an ancient practice of traditional Chinese medicine that is based on the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body with the aim of restoring and maintaining health. The famous therapist Ross J. Barr, based in London, to whom the actress credits her recovery, recently confirmed that Markle comes to her office to undergo acupuncture treatments.
The exactriz has also highlighted the role that holistic-based therapies and a healthy lifestyle have played in her recovery. According to Meghan, motherhood and new responsibilities may have negatively changed some of her habits, but her confidence in healthy practices like acupuncture and cupping hasn’t waned one bit, as remedies that have dulled her ailments.
In fact, Meghan has always been a strong advocate of a healthy lifestyle. In this sense, when she was still an actress, she promoted the importance of eliminating toxins through weekly saunas, regular exercise and a balanced diet, which included vanilla shakes with blueberries or fresh berries and vitamin supplements.
