Ah, migraines. That throbbing pain in your head coupled with sensitivity to light and sound that can have you reaching for anything to make it go away… even caffeine! But is it a good idea? Let's take a look at the Bible and explore what it has to say about drinking caffeine when you have a migraine.
The Bible does not explicitly address the issue of drinking caffeine when you have a migraine. However, there are some interesting passages that suggest this might not be the best choice. For example, Proverbs 23:20-21 states, “My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body.” This suggests that instead of reaching for coffee or tea in an effort to relieve a migraine, we should focus on turning our ears towards wisdom so that we can heal our bodies holistically.
In addition, Ecclesiastes 10:17 advises us “Blessed is he who is always reverent, but he who hardens his heart falls into trouble.” While caffeine may provide temporary relief from migraines in some cases, if we become reliant on it too often then we may be unknowingly hardening our hearts towards other natural remedies that could actually offer more long-term relief without any side effects.
Finally, Proverbs 14:30 offers an important reminder: “A tranquil heart gives life to the flesh, but envy makes the bones rot.” Envying what others do can lead us down paths that are not beneficial for us or our bodies. In this case, envying someone else's ability to drink caffeine without experiencing negative side effects can encourage us to do something that may be unhealthy for us—even though we may think it will solve all of our problems in the moment.
Although the Bible does not explicitly speak on drinking caffeinated beverages while having a migraine attack, there are several passages which point towards taking more holistic approaches towards healing our bodies rather than relying solely on temporary solutions such as caffeine consumption. As always with matters of health and wellness - consult your healthcare provider before trying any new remedy!
