Annie Giudicessi was diagnosed with chronic migraines when she was twenty years old. The social media strategist would often miss the great moments in life when a headache started.
“At my worst, I was in an urgent care clinic 15 to 20 days a month getting an injection to stop a migraine that often didn’t work,” Giudicessi said.
Annie has tried various medications and treatments over the years, but finally found a solution through green light therapy.
“I have tried every treatment imaginable, from occipital nerve blocks to Botox, acupuncture and all that. Last year I discovered green light therapy and it changed the rules of the game, “Giudicessi said.
Studies have shown that a narrow band of green light can decrease the intensity of headaches and migraines. The Allay Lamp is a way for people suffering from pain to use green light technology.
“Green light: It actually helps send out smaller brain waves and actually helps relax the brain.. And in case of a headache or migraine, it is your brain that overreacts when it can calm down and calm down. Electrical activity that occurs there. You feel better in a fairly short period of time, “said co-founder Ajay Kori.
The green stripe produced by the Allay lamp is the only color of light that has this impact. Regularly colored bulbs use other rays of light to create green. The Allay lamp is the only way to experience this form of therapy.
The way to use the lamp is to place it in a dark room with no other light and stay away from deceptions or screens. For Giudicessi, she quickly felt the results.
“I lay there for half an hour,. And within half an hour I didn’t feel nauseous, my eyes didn’t hurt and my headaches started to improve,” said Giudicessi. .
The pandemic has created more stress and screen time, so some are experiencing severe headaches for the first time.
“One thing we are seeing throughout the pandemic is that stress produces a lot of headaches in people who don’t normally have headaches or who don’t have migraines. The green light is something that is a very good tool to combat this, ”Kori said.
For Annie, new technologies have helped her live her life like never before.
“It gave me a whole different quality of life and gave me the ability to take care of myself during one of the most difficult years we have gone through without medical intervention during this time,” said Annie. .
