Folk remedies for headaches - how to get rid of them using herbs, essential oils, compresses or massage

Occipital pain

Pain in the occipital part of the head most often occurs in the presence of cervical osteochondrosis or high blood pressure. It’s easy to feel better if you use the following methods:

• provide fresh air access to the room;
• lie down and take a comfortable position, completely relax;
• place a cold compress on the forehead;
• take a hot water bath for your feet;
• massage the head and neck;
• put mustard plasters on the neck and temples, use a bath or dry mustard for the heels;
• massage your earlobes.

Massage

When folk remedies for headaches do not help, massage or self-massage comes to the rescue. It can be different: general, targeted, relaxing only the area of ​​the back of the head and neck. To relieve pain, one or more types of head massage are selected, based on the preferences and individual reactions of the person. Before performing self-massage, you should consult a doctor and get recommendations for the correct execution of manipulations. Depending on the location of the pain, head massage is performed in different ways:

• Temple area. Massage the painful points, pressing on each one in turn with your fingertips, first lightly, then harder for 3 minutes.
• Back of the head area. You can massage this area if you know for sure that the pain is not associated with high blood pressure. The back of the head is rubbed with rapid movements of the palms up and down.
• Forehead area. Massage your eyebrows, pinching and pulling them until tears appear. After a few minutes, press on the point located between the eyebrows. Then gently cup your entire forehead with your palm and massage until warmth appears.

Dizziness and remedies for it

The very first action when dizziness begins is to lean on something, sit down or lie down. Otherwise, there is a high risk of falling and serious injury. You can do a massage that starts from the neck and reaches the ear area. At the same time, the head leans forward.

If attacks occur frequently, then you should not rely only on the help of folk remedies. It is necessary to reduce the load and seek advice from your doctor.

The main remedy for treating dizziness is herbal infusions. To prepare the infusion, you need to take mint, lemon balm, prepare a decoction from them, which then mix with valerian root. Take one tablespoon up to three times a day. It is suitable for women experiencing headaches during menstruation and menopause.

Another proven remedy is a mixture of grated ginger root and lemon balm decoction, which is infused for 20 minutes. Take the infusion twice a day, one tablespoon. A mixture of honey, vinegar and solutions of valerian, lemon balm and chamomile works well against dizziness. The infusion of oregano should be taken for two weeks.

There are other traditional methods of treating headaches.

Steam bath with apple cider vinegar

I recently read interesting advice from Dr. Jarvis on treating headaches with apple cider vinegar, which has now become popular.

For prevention, of course, it is better to drink apple cider vinegar diluted in water. But if a headache occurs, you can do the following.

Pour equal amounts of water and apple cider vinegar into a saucepan and place over low heat. Bring this to a boil. When steam begins to rise above the saucepan, remove from heat and lean over to breathe over the steam. You need to take 75 breaths. Usually after such a steam bath the headache stops.

Use of essential oils

The ability of essential oils to have a beneficial effect on the human condition has been noticed for a long time. They are used for therapeutic purposes when it comes to migraines, stress, etc.

Thanks to the use of essential oils, blood vessels dilate, the quality of cerebral circulation improves, and spasms are reduced.

In practice, lavender, lemon, eucalyptus, and mint are often used. Throbbing pain is relieved with thyme and lemon balm oils; ylang-ylang and chamomile give good results. If we are talking about narrowing of the lumen of blood vessels (atherosclerosis), then headaches of this nature are treated with garlic and rosemary oils. Juniper and black pepper oils are also used.

Often headaches are accompanied by nausea, which can be relieved with peppermint or ginger. Fainting conditions are treated with tea tree, nutmeg, geranium and pine oils. To get the desired effect, no more than 8 drops are needed, and the liquids are used both individually and in combination with each other.

There are several options for using oils:

• candles, aroma lamps and inhaler;
• baths with the addition of various compositions;
• massage and rubbing of painful areas using an oily liquid;
• applying compresses.

Treatment with metals

Another alternative way to combat headaches is metal therapy. In this case, copper is used, which can “draw out” inflammation, improve the functioning of brain vessels, and normalize blood pressure. The therapy involves applying copper coins to painful areas - temples, back of the head, forehead. The duration of one procedure is 15 minutes.

Copper water is also prepared. To do this, take a few coins, fill them with water (one and a half liters), boil until the amount of water is reduced by half. Compresses and lotions for headaches are made from the prepared water. Water for drinking is prepared in a different way - take a copper container, fill it with water, cover it with a lid and leave it overnight. From the next day, you can drink the resulting copper water one teaspoon before meals (3-4 times a day).

Gymnastics

An effective folk remedy for any headache is special gymnastics. By correctly performing certain exercises, you can get rid of not only cephalalgia, but also changes in blood pressure, poor circulation in the cervical spine and overstrain of the neck muscles. Technique:

1. The exercises are performed in a sitting position. Relax your muscles, keep your back as straight as possible.
2. Tilt your head to the side and forward, holding for 20 seconds in each position. The muscles should stretch as much as possible, but without causing pain. Repeat each circle 5-7 times.
3. Next, perform the same rotations, but press lightly on your head with your palm to increase muscle tension. Perform 5-7 times each circle.

Herbal medicine

Treatment of headaches with folk remedies gives results that are not inferior to traditional medicine. First of all, this concerns the use of herbs. The most favorable effect is achieved only with regularly performed herbal treatment procedures.

Thyme, linden, viburnum, St. John's wort, other plants and their combinations cope with tension headaches and unpleasant sensations caused by stress. You need to take the same amount of mint, St. John's wort and oregano, add hot water to the mixture, and place in a water bath for 15 minutes. The resulting infusion is cooled and used daily.

To relax and calm the nervous system, a herbal mixture is used, which includes linden, oregano and nettle. The prepared infusion should be taken for two weeks, drinking a quarter glass daily before meals.

When the cause of headaches is a cold and a sore throat is added, then chamomile, linden, rose hips, and cinnamon are used. A hot compress based on a special decoction will help cope with migraine attacks. You can prepare it from plantain leaves, mint, lemon balm, and clover. Oregano, rose hips and currant branches are also added there. The compress is applied to the temporal area.

Herbs are suitable for external use - foot baths, compresses. Decoctions and infusions are taken internally. As a rule, for every 2-3 spoons of herb you need about 300 ml of boiling water.

Throbbing pain is relieved with a fresh leaf of cabbage or plantain. Nausea and subsequent vomiting cause dehydration. You can restore balance using:

• tea from dried apricots, prunes, raisins;
• potato or carrot broth (a combination of both is possible);
• a mixture of soda and salt dissolved in water.

To improve stomach function and relieve symptoms of nausea, dill seeds, mint and herbal teas (valerian, chamomile, cudweed) are suitable.

A hangover is also accompanied by a lot of unpleasant sensations, which can be easily eliminated with the help of ginger root, tea based on chamomile, wormwood and oregano.

Leaves and needles will help. We don’t use medicine in our family; we deal with illnesses using folk remedies. When my son and daughter had the flu, the temperature jumped, I wiped the children with their own urine, and forced them to gargle with it. And to bring down the heat, she covered them with leaves of burdock, coltsfoot, and cabbage. A mixture of birch and currant leaves, as well as fir, spruce, and pine needles, is excellent for headaches. You need to take a handful of all these components, steam them in 1 glass of boiling water, let them brew for 10-15 minutes in a warm place, preferably on the stove, of course, then wrap them up for 45 minutes. When the composition has cooled, rub it into your head, and then cover it. with a warm scarf for two hours. It helps a lot. Thanks to healthy lifestyle, I have found relatives and friends all over Mother Russia. This is how, with God’s help, we will heal together, both soul and body. Of course, you need to restore your health yourself. But no one taught us this. I think that if children were already taught in kindergarten about a healthy lifestyle and various worldly wisdom, then people would be healthier, and they would love each other more, and they would take care of nature.

We only go to the city to collect our pension, and then we take turns. 26 acres is all my joy. There's no time for illness here. And if we get sick, we get treatment without a pharmacy. Cough. I consider onion to be the most reliable remedy. I grate it, add a little sugar, mix and eat. It clears up the cough as if by hand. During the cold period, finely chop the onion and eat it with sour cream. I got this recipe from my mother. I chop the onion finely, squeeze it in my fist and smell it until it smells. It happens that you do 2-3 procedures and the discomfort goes away. You run to your beds again. And another time your body gets depressed, you go to the garden to work. And you’ll get so carried away that you’ll forget where it hurt. Believe me, this is the pure truth. Movement is life! Runny nose. I fight it in two stages. First, I clear my nose of mucus: 1 teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water - I suck in the solution through one or the other nostril. The best thing to do is wash your nose with urine. The result is amazing. After cleansing the nose, I instill 2-3 drops of onion juice into each nostril, diluted with 6 drops of water, so as not to burn the mucous membrane. For headaches, I lubricate the forehead, temples, back of the head and behind the ears with menthol oil. If there is no menthol oil, I take a slice of lemon with peel and rub it on my forehead and temples. I also put a copper wire ring in three rows on my head, it helps a lot. I quickly remove the high temperature with alcohol or vodka. I wet my chest and back and wait for it to evaporate. Then I put on warm underwear. I repeat the procedure no more than 2-3 times a day. If your ankle is swollen. From running around the site, my left ankle often twists. And they found justice for her. I take a copper plate, put it on the tumor, then a rag soaked in urine, bandage it tightly, put cellophane on top of my feet in galoshes - and go back to work. With acute respiratory infections. I try to fast for 5 days, lying in bed, and the acute respiratory infection is gone. I walk barefoot even in the snow, this is an excellent prevention against sore throat. Dear Zozhevites! Whoever has the opportunity, leave the stuffy city, because in the city you have a way to the store and the pharmacy. And in nature you will feel your best!

Archive of the Bulletin of Healthy Lifestyle » Archive of Healthy Lifestyle for 2007 » Bulletin of Healthy Lifestyle No. 3 2007 » Personal experience Aconite is my salvation In Healthy Lifestyle (No. 20 for 2006) Yuri Vladimirovich Agapovich in his letter “Aconite relieves pain” shares a recipe for tincture from the roots of aconite. But this medicinal plant has medicinal leaves and stem! By taking only the roots, we throw away the most valuable raw materials and destroy an excessive number of plants. I am 67 years old. I don’t buy medicine, because aconite personally helps me with all my ailments. I have been harvesting it since 1994 and I try, if I take a root, to be 2-3 years old. By this age, its length reaches more than two meters. In our area, aconite is collected after August 10, at the time of flowering, so as not to be confused with other grass. Infuse the mixture of grass, stems, and roots for 3 weeks in a warm, dark place. For 0.5 liters of alcohol you need to take 70 g of dry or 50 g of fresh herbs. When my head hurts, I smear aconite tincture from temple to temple. If you rub the bridge of your nose with it in the initial stages of the flu, your nose immediately begins to breathe. I relieve toothache with cotton wool soaked in tincture. I either put it in a hollow, if there is one, or I smear the gums on the inside and outside. And if you smear the tooth with aconite tincture before removal and wait a few minutes, sensitivity to pain will disappear, as after an anesthetic injection. Aconite perfectly heals a dog bite. If the wound is lubricated with tincture, it will heal quickly and without complications, just like a burn. There won't even be any scars left. After frostbite, complicated by purulent discharge, you just need to lubricate the sore spot - and the more often, the better. I tried all these recipes on myself, my children and grandchildren. I take aconite tincture internally once a year for prevention. I make a course from 1 drop to 10 and back. This is the healing aconite. Just let's collect it carefully so that there is enough for our children and grandchildren. Berezhnaya I.A. Archive of the Healthy Lifestyle Bulletin » Healthy Lifestyle Archive for 2007 » Healthy Lifestyle Bulletin No. 3 2007 » House Doctor I remain a faithful admirer of Healthy Lifestyle It seems like just recently I held the first issue of Healthy Lifestyle in my hands, and now it has already exceeded 300 issues. I worked at the Soyuzpechat kiosk in Tolyatti for 20 years. A lot of periodicals have passed through my hands, but I still remain a faithful admirer of healthy lifestyle. Recently celebrated her 60th birthday. It's been several years since we moved to the village. We live alone with our youngest son in our house. And now - my recipes. Getting rid of a sore throat is very easy. Once upon a time I also suffered, and this is what an ENT doctor I knew advised. When brushing your teeth with toothpaste, when rinsing your mouth, spit everything out the first time, and the second time, fill your mouth with water and gargle. For 20 years now I have not known how my throat hurts. In the summer I drink water only from the refrigerator, and in the winter from the tap. Prevention of stroke and after it. Rub old ghee into your head at night 1-2 times a week, tie it with a scarf, and rinse it off in the morning. For knee pain. Place your palm on your knee, under the fourth (ring) finger on the knee. Warm this point with a hairdryer until it burns. If a runny nose is accompanied by a severe headache, camphor oil will help. Lubricate your nose and temples with it at least 2 times a day, the last time before bed. Rub the oil on your feet, then put on warm socks. Healing with incense. You can buy it at the church. This aromatic resin will replenish the supply of positive energy, and take away negative energy, adjust to health, and protect from negative influences. To do this you need to prepare “incense-water”. Place pieces of incense in the water you drink, preferably for at least 3 hours. Water can be constantly added to the vessel. Moreover, there is an interesting pattern: the more strongly you need its help, the water will smell like incense, because the smell is activated depending on the person’s well-being. Drink water whenever and as much as you want, at any time. You see, these are very simple recipes, but very effective. Melkadze V.M. Archive of the Bulletin of Healthy Lifestyle » Archive of Healthy Lifestyle for 2007 » Bulletin of Healthy Lifestyle No. 4 2007 » Universities from readers Horseradish is not sweeter than radishes, but it heals better In Healthy Lifestyle (No. 3 for 2007), we opened a new section: “Universities from Readers.” Well, this is a natural process of our growth. Many readers have already become professors and academicians in the field of health improvement. Today is a continuation of the column. Most likely she will become a regular guest on our pages. I’ll share the secret of how I managed to maintain my health until I was 80 years old. My motto: the body must move and the brain must work. On his life's path he went through both: he worked as an engineer for 40 years and as a janitor for 15 years. Communist ideologists even came up with a slogan about the merging of mental and physical labor. After the collapse of the USSR, engineers were no longer needed. What could I do: I went to the wipers. I also had a hobby - dacha. But the moment came when there was not enough strength to work on two fronts. Now I have one job, one concern - the dacha. Labor on 6 acres is not only self-sufficiency in food, but also a favorable fusion of creative and physical labor. When the summer season ends, I switch to winter fishing. I consider it our purely Russian sport, which gives a person health and youth. Of course, you need to dress correctly: a padded jacket, earflaps, and most importantly, keep your feet warm. My “weak link” is my leg joints. If treated incorrectly, he could have become disabled twice over the last two decades. In the 90s of the last century, I developed severe pain in my joints and lost the ability to move. The young doctor, without hesitation, gave a diagnosis: gout. Her arguments: age and poor nutrition. The list of prohibited foods turned out to be quite impressive: meat, canned food, animal fats, broths, legumes, sorrel, spinach, cauliflower, raspberries, chocolate, cocoa, strong tea. I intuitively felt that gout was not my disease, and such a diet was not for me. I decided to be treated with folk remedies. The most ancient method of treating joints in Rus' - radish - gave a positive result. The peeled radish was passed through a meat grinder or grater and the pulp was applied to the joint, covered with polyethylene, wrapped in a cloth or bandage and left overnight. Then the radish was replaced with horseradish - its effect turned out to be more effective. However, I tried different options for compresses. Maybe some of them will be useful to the readers of the newsletter. From my own experience I was convinced that fresh cucumber is an excellent remedy for salt deposits. It relieves knee pain well within half an hour. I must warn you that if you have delicate skin, you should keep the compress for no more than 2 hours. Otherwise, blisters may form on your knees - that’s how much sediment a cucumber pulls out! Gradually, the treatment time can be increased, but at first it is important not to overdo it. I will give you a gentle method of treating horseradish. Grate the fresh roots of the plant on a coarse grater, steam in hot water over low heat, without bringing to a boil. Then squeeze it out, put the whole mass on a canvas cloth, after moistening it with the broth, and apply it to the sore spots. You can also use dry horseradish. Chop it finely and steam it properly. You can also dry the leaves of the plant for future use. They are soaked in hot water and applied to problem areas. This recipe can be used by people with delicate skin. Please note that horseradish and radish lose their beneficial properties when frozen. And another recipe - gentle and trouble-free. Place a paste of radish, garlic, turnips, beets, and parsley on the sore joint. You can cover the top with a cabbage leaf, wrap it with cloth and leave overnight. Here the main healing ingredients are radish and garlic, which can cause a burning sensation. Therefore, their quantity must be adjusted experimentally. If you have delicate skin, then burdock will help. Apply a fresh leaf to the sore spot during the day and at night, and also drink half a glass of decoction from the leaves or roots of the plant 3 times a day, 30 minutes before meals. To prepare the decoction, take 1.5 cups of crushed leaves or dried roots, add 3 cups of water and boil for 20 minutes. Here is my late grandmother's recipe. Take the boiled skin of chicken, legs, while they are still warm, cover the sore knee with cellophane and cloth. A few nights and everything goes away. A simpler recipe can also help get rid of joint pain - a compress of grated apples. But to get a long-term effect, apple pulp must be applied at night for at least 3 months. Unripe apples and carrion are suitable. For those who are treated with clay, I will give practical advice. Clay mixed with a decoction of onion skins heals sore joints well. Make clay cakes and apply them for 2 hours (no more), they cannot be reused. But, unfortunately, the moment came when the compresses and bandages that I talked about stopped helping. It became clear that a new disease had appeared. And then I had to turn to traditional medicine. An experienced doctor diagnosed: weak cartilage and recommended taking three medications: Nise (made in India. Price - 69 rubles), Teraflex and Inoltra (made in the USA - 440 and 2800 rubles). Taking one package of Nise and Teraflex each gave some improvement. The question arose: which drug to continue treatment with - cheap or expensive? I carefully studied their instructions. "Nise" prevents the destruction of collagen in cartilage tissue. What is this magical ingredient? I found out: collagen is the general name for proteins that serve as the basis of the body’s connective tissue: bones, cartilage, tendons. "Teraflex" not only prevents destruction, but also stimulates the regeneration of articular cartilage. "Teraflex" differs from the Indian drug in the presence of gelatin in the ampoules. But why not introduce gelatin into the Nise ampoule? As for Inoltra, it is an anti-arthritic drug. Its whole highlight is the presence of cartilage hydrolysate in it (a product of bone decomposition at elevated temperature and pressure). And we have plenty of this goodness. On the market, a kilogram of pork and beef bones costs 45-50 rubles. I prefer chicken drumsticks for 16-18 rubles. At the same time, I used a pressure cooker, which creates an increased temperature of 110-120° and pressure. I cook the drumsticks for at least 2.5 hours, separate the meat from the bones, crush them and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes. I season the jellied meat with plenty of chopped garlic and dried herbs. This is both food and medicine, which I consume at least half a glass every day along with Nise. The daily norm is a glass of broth or jellied meat. Plus, you need to eat: for thin people - half a glass of sour cream, for fat ones - 1-2 glasses of low-fat kefir or yogurt. For joints to work well, they must be surrounded by strong muscles, and for this you need to do gymnastics. I do the exercises early in the morning, when the family members are sleeping. Lying on the bed I bend my toes away from myself and towards myself. I bend my feet away from me and towards me. I rotate my feet clockwise and counterclockwise. Lying on your back, walking in place without lifting your heels from the bed. Then I move my legs together and walk. I do the “bicycle” exercise forward and backward. Bend with raised knees to the left - to the right. Exercise "scissors". Sitting on the bed, I squeeze my buttocks, as if pulling the lower part of my body inward, interrupting urination. This exercise eliminated bedwetting. Standing I squat, arms stretched forward, inhale. I get up - exhale sharply. I do push-ups from the floor. I repeat the last exercise 12 times, the rest 42 times. By the way, it has been noticed that long-lived grandmothers of the southern republics never have knee pain. What is the reason? It turns out that they do all household chores on their knees and “walk” on them! Therefore, when I work in the beds, I move on my knees and thereby massage them. When the ground is cold, I wear my own knee pads. Gelatin marmalade is good for joints and bones (they also sell pectin marmalade, but it is not good). In this regard, I want to share one observation. In pre-perestroika times, I often visited the Caucasus. I noticed this: in Russia, jellied meat kits were 3 times cheaper than meat, but in the Caucasus it was the other way around. And one more thing: unlike Russia, I did not meet old people there with crutches and clubs. There is a causal connection between these two moments. Here is a recipe for soup - khash, which is cooked in the Caucasus. Soak beef or lamb legs and tripes for 5-6 hours in cold (preferably running) water. Then chop the legs into pieces and cook in unsalted water over low heat. Cook the finely chopped tripe in a separate pan, then add it to the broth obtained from boiling the legs and continue cooking until tender. The duration of cooking khash is 6-8 hours. Garlic crushed with salt is served separately. From a healthy lifestyle I learned about a very useful plant - horsetail. It is rich in minerals, in particular silicon, which in the human body contributes to the formation of healthy bones, cartilage, nails and hair. I use horsetail when making herbal tea.

Archive of the Herald of Herabs ”Archive of Herabs for 2007” Bulletin of healthy lifestyle No. 3 2007 ”The home doctor I wear a magnet, and my heart does not hurt in healthy lifestyle published my letter“ I wear a magnet, and my heart does not hurt ”. It aroused great interest among readers. Every day letters come dozens. Most are the treatment of the same questions. I grouped them and I want to answer the lifestyle. The magnet helps in the treatment of arrhythmia, tachycardia, angina pectoris, hypertension, head and heart pain, is good during rehabilitation after the strokes and myocardial infarction. How does he act on the heart? The magnet does not have any effect on the heart. Being in the chest area, it contributes to a more intense blood run through the vessels with its magnetic field, as a result of which the load on the heart decreases, the pressure normalizes, the cerebral blood circulation improves, the headaches, and noise in the ears disappear. In addition, the magnetic field prevents the formation of blood clots, improves the composition of the blood by reducing cholesterol and deposits in the vessels. The contraindication is this: it is strictly forbidden to use with implanted stimulants on the heart. Of course, there may be individual magnetic intolerance. But the magnet does not have absolutely no side effects. There is no addiction to it, an overdose of the magnetic field was not detected. But the weather dependence of the body decreases or completely disappears. It is not forbidden to use it in parallel with other therapeutic methods. You can wear a magnet constantly by removing only when you wash or swim. At night you can leave: there will be no harm. I advise you to make a peg of a peel or wear in a pocket sewn to clothes. I do not recommend sticking to the body, since irritation can begin from island, adhesive tape or adhesive plasty on the body. The magnet itself does not cause irritation. Grushevsky Yu.G. Bulletin of Healthy Healthy elements Archive of Herabs for 2007 »Herald of healthy lifestyle №6 2007» Home Doctor delicious medicines for hypertension bought healthy lifestyle (No. 2 for 2007). As always, there is something to adopt and what to think about. On the advice of T.A. Ivanova started a file cabinet to find the desired recipe faster. I support Valentina Dmitrievna Alekseeva, who proposed to open a mutual assistance fund with a messenger. I have a lot of extra drugs. And it’s a pity to throw it away - the expiration date has not yet expired, and there is no one to give. For example, I really need a glucometer. Old - he is 15 years old - broke down, but I can’t buy a new one with my meager pension. With special attention, I read in healthy lifestyle (No. 2 for 2007) a conversation with the doctor Alexandra Poskrebysheva “Tala: how to avoid trouble”. I also have an expansion of veins. It was treated with all available means. When the red-blue mesh on the hips and legs begins to burn with fire, I moisten the skin with undiluted apple cider vinegar, rubbing which also relieves a cramp well. I have type 2 diabetes, and often takes her arms and legs. On the advice of the lifestyle, she dried silver wormwood, dug her into powder. As necessary, I divert the yogurt and rub the problem areas. This tool is really effective in pain with convulsions. From insomnia and nightmares, I am saved not by sleeping pills, but by aspen flights, which I put under my head and in my feet. After a stroke in a state of strong excitement, I began to stutter. And she cured herself with an infusion of forest downstream. 1 tbsp.

Put in pepper broth and add potatoes chopped with cubes. 5 minutes before the end of the preparation, pour small vermicelli and fried in vegetable oil 2-3 large bulbs. Add salt to taste. I advise hypertension and cores to pamper yourself more often with viburnum pies. Rinse and dry the fresh or ice cream of viburnum. 1 tbsp. Put a spoonful of berries on a cake of rye yeast dough, wrap with a cake, wrap with a fresh cabbage sheet. The sheet must first be scalded with boiling water and squeeze. Put a pie on a baking sheet lubricated with vegetable oil, and bake in the oven until the bread smell appears. Bon appetit! Tereshkina M.A. Bulletin of Healthy Healthy elements »Hoseh archive for 2007» Herald of healthy lifestyle No. 10 2007 "Doctors are written by high -tension. Head pain is familiar to everyone. But few people know that they suffer from the so -called headache of tension - it is its share up to 60% of all headaches, and 30% in migraine. How is the head pain of migraine fundamentally different? Migraine is a pulsating pain, as a rule, concentrated in one side of the head. Attacks last from several hours to several days, accompanied by nausea, vomiting. The pain can be so severe that it violates the daily activity of a person. A migraine attack can result in a vascular disaster. From one day, from year to year, the headache of tension is always bilateral, either covers both temples and foreheads, or spreads with a “hoop”, “hat”, “hood”. It feels either to squeezing outside, or bursting from the inside. In terms of intensity - light or moderate. No matter how exhausting the migraine attack may be, it will end in a maximum of three days. But if you have a headache of tension, you never know when it stops. Attacks poison existence with its duration: tedious exhausting pain may not leave you for weeks, months, and even years. And if the migraine is a hereditary disease, which cannot be cured from, it is possible only to alleviate its course, then you can get rid of the headaches of stress, because it is a acquired state. It is customary to divide the headache of tension into pain with muscle tension and without muscle tension. But for my practice I met pain without muscle tension no more than twice. As a rule, patients are tense in the muscles of the head and neck: chewing (the head begins to hurt from chewing alone), frontal, temporal, trapezoidal. In the region of the head and neck, there is a large number of nerve structures that ensure the functioning of the brain and nourish it with blood. If the muscle function is impaired, then the vessels and nerves located in the thickness of the muscles do not work. The blood flow to the head decreases, and the outflow is disturbed. Here is the head and bad. There is a cold headache that can cause a portion of ice cream, a headache from wearing a hat, from fried - acute - salty, incorrectly selected glasses, a chronic sense of anxiety. It is necessary to carefully observe after you, maybe the provoking factor can easily be eliminated. For example, I would like to say from the experience of our patients: never sit on a diet, if you have a headache, it will only aggravate a stressful state. A headache of tension is combined with a huge amount of unpleasant states: anxiety and depression, heartbeat, intolerance to stuffy rooms, sleep disturbance, ovarian dysfunction in women. In general, muscle spasm is supported by emotional problems. And then a vicious circle forms: if there is anxiety and depression, it means that the head hurts, if the head hurts, this already causes depression. Not pills for pain, but from pills, pain now many drugs for headache. One of the dangerous stereotypes of life has developed: the head hurts - take a pill. But we do not think about the insidiousness of painkillers. Previously, only analgin could be bought in a regular pharmacy. And it was good. Analgin is a monopoly, it contains one component. So, there is only one side effect. With an overdose, analgin is aggressive for the stomach. But the episodic technique (not on an empty stomach) is not dangerous. The most secure drugs are most safe. In addition, Analgin is not addictive. Another popular drug is Citramon. It is already complex, consists of acetylsalicylic acid, caffeine and paracetamol. This means that the number of side effects is already tripled. It is difficult to find another substance that would act so destructively on the liver, like paracetamol. It is especially dangerous to treat with drugs containing paracetamol, a hangover headache for people with a sick liver and abuse of alcohol. If you still decide to drink a tablet, try not to exceed a dose of 0.5 g per dose. Complex drugs are most dangerous in that addiction develops very quickly. At the same time, the effect of the drug becomes weaker, “light” gaps, without pain, become shorter, and a person falls into a trap of addiction, akin to a drug. I had a patient who took 30 painkillers per day. And attachment already occurs if you take one tablet within a month every other day. This happens the fastest when taking sedalgin and pentalgin. My advice: if it is impossible to do without tablets, then drugs of different classes should be taken so that you are not addictive. Ibuprofen non -steroidal anti -inflammatory drugs, Voltaren does not develop such a strong addiction. But they have a different trouble: they destroy the gastrointestinal tract. And one more thing: regular intake of painkillers leads to an increase in blood pressure. Learn to swim on your back if you are worried about the morning headache, then it is always associated with the pathology of the spine. And treating your head without a back is useless. At first, it is necessary to devote at least three months to the restoration of muscle and vascular tone. Motor activity is needed without fail. Take a rule for a rule for half an hour - an hour a day, better in nature. Or at least devote the weekend to this. But if you have a strong pain attack, it is better to refrain from physical exercises. Go swimming. Moreover, it is best to swim on your back when all muscles relax as much as possible. But cold dousing in the fight against headache does not help. Pay attention to how you sleep. From my experience, I know: no orthopedic pillows have yet been able to replace the usual feathers. If you sleep on your side, then the pillow should be knocked out to the height of the shoulder. If on the back, then the back of the head should be on the pillow, and the shoulders on the mattress. To do this, just tighten the pillow to the neck over the corners. This position is most physiological, it allows the vessels to work freely. From simple means, I recommend Kuznetsov’s Ipplitor. Everyone knows him, many have it at home, but few people use it. But in vain. The Ipplique works according to a simple scheme: if pleasant, comfortable, then the muscles relax, the blood flow improves, the pressure normalizes. And if the procedure goes through force, then the opposite result is achieved: muscle spasm is growing. It is necessary to carry out at least a two -week course of treatment, daily applying Kuznetsov’s Ipplitor to the collar area or hairy part of the head. The patient determines the exposure time himself, guided by his own sensations. One and a half minutes is enough, the other can sleep on it all night. The strength of simple means from headaches exists infinitely a lot of non -drug means - from a woolen bandage to a bell ringing, each selects the best. What would I advise based on my practice? Almost everyone helps freshly brewed (both black and green) hot sweet tea with lemon. As well as mint tea: 1/3 of Art. Pour the spoons of peppermint with a glass of hot water, hold for 15 minutes in a water bath, stirring slightly, strain and take warm or a third of a glass 2-3 times a day 15 minutes before meals. A good and beloved by the people, the “Asterisk” tool: rub into sore spots, inhale couples. Aromatic oils are generally indicated for headaches, they relax muscles and normalize blood flow. For example, you can prepare such a composition for rubbing with a cotton swab with a cotton swab, temples, nape: in a quarter of a glass of water, mix three drops of lemon wormwood and mint or lavender. Store in the refrigerator in a dark bowl, shake before use. In the same way, a fresh, finely cut lemon crust acts if it is applied to the temples. The ancient method of treating a headache is to apply a compress from a fresh, burned cabbage sheet or raw potato, previously grated or cut into slices. The explanation is simple: there are a lot of potassium ions in cabbage and potato juice, and it normalizes vascular and muscle tone and thereby relieves pain. You can use sauerkraut, previously squeezed and wrapped in gauze. At the same time, drink half a glass of cabbage juice well. As for potatoes, even welded in a uniform is suitable for the compress. For the best relaxation, you can use coniferous-salt bathtubs (100 g of sea salt plus 2 tbsp. Spoons of coniferous extract), the course is 10 days. It is enough for some to wash your head with hot water. With stubborn headache, wet socks help. At night, they are soaked in cold water, squeezed well, and put a couple more dry on top. The procedure is repeated for seven days in a row. People familiar with hunger treatment would advise a three -day fasting course.

Clay for headaches

Clay is one of the most ancient folk remedies that help cope with headaches. The microelements contained in clay have a beneficial effect on the body, creating a healing effect. The peculiarity of using clay is that it can be taken in its pure form, or mixed with extracts of mint, lemon balm, and menthol. This combination gives a pronounced result.

Using clay, they make wraps or place an application on the painful area. The procedure is quite simple: the clay needs to be softened and brought to a mushy state. The resulting mass is distributed over gauze rolled up in several layers, which is transferred to the place where the discomfort is especially strong.

The head should be wrapped and the tied cloth should not be removed during the night. Traditional healers also recommend doing salt baths for your feet.

Folk remedies for pregnant women

Pregnant women often wonder what folk remedies can relieve headache attacks. Many medications are prohibited for use in all trimesters of pregnancy, and pain haunts the expectant mother. Due to hormonal changes in the body, headaches with toxicosis are common troubles that await a woman. In order for the pregnant woman’s condition and her mood to be normal, one should not forget about acupressure massage of the cervical region and head. It will be useful to carry out aromatherapy, gently rubbing non-prohibited essential oils into the temporal region.

Banned essential oils include rosemary, jasmine and peppermint. Do not use oregano, basil, juniper, calendula, wormwood, sage and other plants.

But chamomile, rose hips, and mint will give good results when it comes to headaches. Pregnancy is a special period in the life of every woman. In order not to harm yourself and your child, before using this or that folk remedy, it is better to consult a doctor.

This is true if you approach the question of how to treat headaches wisely. Don’t forget about prevention - regularly ventilate the premises, lead a healthy lifestyle, eat well and rest well.
