A TikTok user has recently shared an unconventional method that she claims helped her get rid of migraines in just four minutes. Andrea Eder, a business coach from Miami, Florida, uploaded a video demonstrating her technique amidst a migraine episode. In the video, she poured hot water over her feet, which were submerged in a bucket.
Addressing her 83,000 followers, Eder stated, “I just learned that if you get a migraine and you want to get rid of it fast, all you have to do is get as hot of water as you can handle and soak your feet in the water.”
Having suffered from migraines for a long time, Eder was seeking simple remedies to alleviate her symptoms. After noticing other creators discussing the practice of submerging their feet in hot water, she decided to give it a try.
Andrea Eder, a business coach from Miami, Florida, posted a video earlier this month in the midst of a migraine. She showed herself pouring hot water over her feet, which were submerged in a bucket.
‘Four minutes ago, my eyes were shaking, and I couldn’t see straight, and I was already trying to look for the bed so I could lay down and close all the blinds,’ said Eder. ‘The fact that the screen is not shaking right now, and it’s only been four minutes.’

‘I am forever grateful to the individuals who have shared this on TikTok because I believe they just saved my life.’
While there is no scientific evidence to support the effectiveness of hot water, whether in the form of a shower or a bath, in treating migraines, it may help alleviate tension and reduce stress, both of which are common triggers of migraines.
A migraine is a severe headache that typically causes throbbing or pulsing pain on one side of the head. These episodes can last for several hours to even days.
According to the American Migraine Foundation, approximately 39 million Americans, or one in ten, live with migraines. Women and girls make up about 28 million of these cases, as they are at least three times more likely to experience migraines compared to their male counterparts.
Some research suggests that decreased estrogen levels, often associated with menstruation, could contribute to migraines in women.
Migraine symptoms can vary, but commonly include nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to sound and light.
There are four stages of migraines: prodrome, aura, attack, and postdrome. However, not everyone experiences each stage. Prodrome occurs one to two days before the onset of a migraine attack and its symptoms can easily go unnoticed. Subtle signs include constipation, mood changes, food cravings, neck stiffness, increased urination, fluid retention, and frequent yawning, as stated by the Mayo Clinic.
Some individuals with migraines may experience warning signs, such as an aura, which can manifest as visual disturbances, tingling on one side of the body, or difficulty speaking. Auras typically occur minutes to hours before a migraine attack and mainly involve visual disturbances like seeing bright spots or flashes of light. They can also include weakness or numbness on one side of the face or body, as well as difficulties with speech.
The duration of a migraine attack can range from four hours to three days. While some individuals experience migraines sporadically, others may suffer from them several times a month. Following an attack, individuals may experience postdrome, a phase that can leave them feeling fatigued or confused for up to a day.
The exact cause of migraines is still unclear, but potential triggers can include menstruation, alcohol or coffee consumption, stress, lack of sleep, changes in weather, certain foods, and medications.
