Description

Written by a leading neuroscientist, Splitting tells the fascinating true story about headaches, and the secrets they reveal about your brain and overall health.

Did you know...
- that chocolate doesn't give you a headache - and may in fact prevent one happening?
- that 30% of us sneeze at sunlight?
- that you can see off a headache with an orgasm?
- or that you shouldn't wear a striped top if your spouse gets migraines?

From migraines to sinus pain to tension headaches – and everything in between – Splitting separates fact from fiction, putting you in control and helping you practise habits that will protect you from headache.
