Andrea shared her surprising solution: "All you gotta do is get as hot of water as you can handle and soak your feet in the water," she explained. "A lot of people said mustard. I didn’t have mustard, so I just went the hot water route. When I tell you that four minutes ago my eyes were shaking and I couldn’t see straight…I am forever grateful to the human beings who have shared this on TikTok." According to Gannady Raskin, dean of the School of Naturopathic Medicine at Bastyr University, hot water helps redistribute blood flow, which can relieve pressure in the head. Mustard oil, on the other hand, is believed to relax the skin and distract from the pain, as reported by ABC News. Many of Andrea’s viewers were eager to try the trick themselves, frustrated after years of struggling to find effective migraine relief.
Woman reveals hack for getting rid of migraines and the internet can't thank her enough
The hack shared by Andrea Eder for getting rid of migraines is so simple anyone can do it.
Anyone who suffers from migraines knows how debilitating they can be. From isolating in a dark room to applying cold packs and avoiding triggers, managing the pain can feel like a never-ending challenge. That’s why one TikTok user’s unconventional remedy is gaining attention. @andreaeder has battled migraines for years, and she’s not alone—over 35 million Americans suffer from these painful episodes. While migraines are often associated with intense headaches, they can also cause nausea, photosensitivity, dizziness, and fatigue. “Migraines are a neurological disease that involves nerve pathways and chemicals,” according to a Penn Medicine study.

Whatever remedy, hit me with it!" @jacq_sprat wrote, "It's hot water on feet and ice packs on neck/ head." @gyssellr commented, "I probably destroyed my organs from the amount of painkillers taken due to migraines every single day." @_joelove28 expressed, "I used to get the WORST migraines. Vomiting and all. Found out I was vitamin D deficient, I take d3 every day and it’s helped so much."
@neener507 shared her tip, "Start taking turmeric shots. Now I rarely get them. Inflammation is an issue as well and turmeric reduces inflammation in the body. I no longer need it." @psych_nerd89 shared, "Feet in hot water and a cold pack on the back of your neck 100% get rid of migraines." @sophied301 added: "I figured this out when I was a toddler and I used to sit on the bathroom sink and fill it with boiling water and put my feet in."
Many people shared how they have always struggled with migraines and they appreciated the video for offering new solutions to their problems. Others also explain the science behind why warm water would work for migraines and what other remedies help them manage their headaches and various other symptoms associated with migraines. We hope this video helps as many people as possible.
