EASY BODY-MIND SOLUTIONS FOR HEADACHES

It makes life so miserable... as if things aren't difficult enough, right ?

Here are a few easy solutions for headaches:

First off, if you are somewhere that you haven't any access to an aspirin this will come in real handy.

This is a reflexology point. right in the web of your thumb next to your index finger at the base...is a acupressure point, hold it firmly and you will feel the headache lessen in seconds. (pinch it with your other hand with your thumb and index finger. Keep holding it for at least 2-3 minutes. It may be ouchy.)

Try using other points too, pinching the nose at base between your eyes, massaging with peppermint oil at the temples and pressing firmly at the back of the neck below the skull in the 2 indentations on both side.

The last points are on top of the shoulders (on each side at the jaw level in the indentations)and on the back between the blades ( on either side of the spine.)

(you will have to have someone do this for you,... lean back into their pressured fingers, you should feel a relief almost immediately.)

Use Peppermint Essential oil , a drop of peppermint on the end of your pinky finger and insert into your nostrils then breath deeply.

It will fill your nasal cavity and clear the sinuses. You can also put a drop in a tissue and keep breathing it in as needed. (This is especially handy during an airplane flight.)

You can add to this a yoga technique.

Start with holding closed the left nostril and breath deeply into the right nostril, hold it for a count of 6 and breath in the left side breath out at a slow count of 6 and hold count of 6, repeat 6 times and then go to the left side hold closed and breath in the right side a count of 6, hold 6 counts. repeat as before. This is really relaxing and for stress headaches this helps almost immediately.

For migraine and really devastating headaches that above and beyond what the methods I have outlined here will do for you..
