101 Tips For Preventing Headaches (57-69)
Apply a assuaging face pack. Face packs are a excellent way of de-stressing yourself. Many grocery stores and beauty supply stores carry them. 58. You can make your own face pack at home using things that are 100% harmless on your skin. One of the best face packs that I have come across that is equally effective for a sinus headache as well as a tension headache is a curd face pack. What you have to do is chill curd in the refrigerator for a few minutes. If you do not have curd, yogurt will do. Then all you have to do is apply a thin coating of this curd or yogurt on your forehead and on the region around your eyes. But you must be careful to observe that it does not obtain into your eyes. When you feel that the first coat has dried up apply one more coat. Then lie down with your face up for five to ten minutes. 59. De-stress yourself. This is particularly true for those who suffer from tension headaches. Below I have incorporated some tips on how to distress your self. Meditation brings with it peace of mind as we learn to see our surroundings. We become one with it and it helps us to focus our mental energy on one thing at a time. The human mind is a virtual power house of energy but often this energy goes un-channeled or untapped. A lot of it's lost on extraneous things. Through the way of meditation we can harness this energy and use it for constructive purposes. In the initial stages you may find your mind drifting but steadily you will learn to focus more and more. The idea behind meditation is not to cut out all the forces around you but to become one with them. I have seen people plug their ears with cotton to shut out sounds. But that is not the purpose that we wish to achieve. On the contrary we should focus on the sounds around us. Be concious of them, listen to them. First listen to the bigger sounds around you like the traffic or machines or even loud music from your neighbor’s apartment. Then listen to the softer sounds like the drone of the refrigerator, or the A/C. And then bring your recognition to the sound of your own breathing. If you could actually hear yourself breathing then you have arrived and this is what you have to keep doing. Try to focus on the ‘here’ and the ‘now’ and not on the tomorrow or the yesterday. After all we all survive in todays and not in yesterdays and tomorrows! The Mind Settling Procedure: 1. Sit comfortably in silence with your eyes closed for 30 seconds. 2. Perform a brief body massage. (Some meditation traditions advocate that the massage be executed slightly differently for men and women, and I would like to describe these recommendations here. To be frank with you I am not clear as to why these gender-related differences exist, or if the need for the differences is real.) 3. The massage begins by gently pressing the hands against the face, then upward on the top of the head, back down the neck, and towards the heart. (By the way, all massage elements move towards, and finish at the heart.) 4. Then, men continue by gently using the left hand to press and massage, first the right hand, and then up the arm, and back down towards the heart. Again, this is all done with the left hand. 5. Women do the same, but they commence by massaging the left hand and arm (back toward the heart) with the right hand. Then both men and women switch arms and massage the other hand and arm, again, back toward the heart. Then men continue by massaging the right foot and leg, upward toward the heart. This is done by pressing with both hands gently. 6. Then, massage the left foot and leg, again, upward toward the heart. Women do the same, but they commence with the left foot and leg, upward toward the heart, before repeating the way for the right foot and leg. This is best done with the eyes closed. The total time for the massage is about a minute. 7. While sitting comfortably with the back straight, perform a breathing process that is called "pranayama." Begin with 10 seconds of rapid pranayama. This is done using very short, gentle breaths, closing one nostril at a time after each outward and inward breath. 8. Close the nostrils (one at a time) with the thumb and the middle fingers (alternately) of one hand. Men use their right hand to do this while women use their left. The mechanics of the regimen are similar to slow pranayama (see below), except that the breaths are very short and quick (although still gentle). 9. This is best done with the eyes closed. The regimen should be effortless and easy, and if someone is sustaining any troubles like dizziness or hyperventilation, it's being performed mistakenly and its practice should be discontinued until getting personal instructions in this technique. 10. While sitting comfortably with the back straight, perform 9 to 10 minutes of slow pranayama. This is done similarly as with the rapid pranayama, but using common breaths (not short or long ones), closing one nostril at a time after each outward and inward breath. Be certainly to complete both the outward and inward breath before switching nostrils. On exhaling, let the breath flow out naturally, not forcing it. The inhaling breath should take about half the time as the exhaling breath. 11. Hold your breath after inhaling for a brief moment (a second or two) while alternatively closing the other nostril with the other finger, and prepare to exhale. The entire regimen should be effortless and gentle. If you feel you need more air, simply take deeper breaths, but do not hyperventilate. You should be breathing normally, just alternating nostrils after exhaling and inhaling. This is best done with the eyes closed. 12. Sit quietly and comfortably for 5 minutes with the eyes closed. 60. Listen to soft music, preferably without ear phones. 61. Practice yoga. It sounds simple, but it really does work. 62. Prayer is an great way of de-stressing yourself. 63. Breathe a good deal of fresh air. 64. Quit drinking if it's a habit. Reduce your alcohol intake to only 2 – 3 glasses a week. If headaches persist, try to quit completely. 65. Tips on how to avoid a hangover headache. A hangover usually sets in after the intake of alcohol. The following tips can aid you avoid a hang over headache. § The hangover headache is usually the result of dehydration so if you increase your consumption of water, you could keep a hangover headache at bay. § Dilute your drink with water instead of soda. The more water you take in, the better. § Never beginning drinking on an empty stomach § Drink a glass of milk one or two hours before you leave for the party. § Munch on snacks while you're drinking. § Cheese is wonderful to prevent a hangover headache. § For ever ounce of alcohol that you consume, make it a point to consume a glass of plain water 66. Try to keep from getting too frustrated, whether it's caused by work, taking care of the kids, or other factors. When you feel yourself loosing control, take a step back and take 10 deep breaths. Frustration can easily bring on a tension headache. 67. Colors too have an impact. The colors around you could have an impact on the technique your mind works. This is especially true when it comes to the rooms you move about in. Red and orange are clearly not the the bulk suitable colors for your bedroom and the living room. It is better to go for light pastel shades or dark assuaging colors like blues and greens. 68. Bad teeth can cause headaches. If you have a tooth infection that is left untreated there is a very wonderful chance that the pain will go on to the rest of your head. Never take a bad tooth lightly. Get the aid of your dentist as soon as you feel that there is something wrong with your teeth. If you let it be you're facing a high risk of developing a headache that just won’t go away. If the bad tooth is in the upper jaw bone, you have a greater chance of getting a headache. |
