These symptoms are caused by inflammation which is the result of a corresponding trigger or triggers. Dermatologists often try to manage the condition with a mix of medications like dupixent, cibinqo, rinvoq, and gold bond.

Candle Smells that Trigger Migraines

Many individuals may not fully understand what a migraine is or how it may be caused. A migraine is when there is a severe throbbing pain or pulsating sensation, typically in one side of the head, but sometimes both sides. Migraines are far worse than the common headache. These attacks are often accompanied by migraine symptoms such as sensitivity to light, sound, smell, and even touch. Additionally, some individuals that suffer from migraines report side effects such as nausea and even vomiting. Migraines vary in degree of severity based on the individual. However, certain triggers (i.e., candles) and specific smells may trigger worse migraine symptoms: 1. Patchouli While patchouli is a common essential oil that is used by individuals to calm headaches, the smell can actually be the cause of headaches for some if too much is inhaled. The fragrance of this essential oil in candles can be overwhelming and cause individuals who are sensitive to smell to have a migraine attack. 2.
