che pain can be excruciating and even with the
abundance of drug related headache cures, more and more
sufferers are seeking natural headache remedies and more
effective migraine headache treatments and prevention.
Having been involved in training Aromatherapists and
Reflexology Practitioners over many years at and also running
the Scottish Group of the Guild of Complementary Practitioners,
I have become very aware of the power of what many people term
Alternative Medicine. (I prefer =ECcomplementary=EE)
However, the medical profession in general tend to ignore the
natural remedies that have proved effective over thousands of
years and they persist in poisoning our systems with Drug
Therapy, which often exacerbates many conditions or in fact
triggers other conditions and at the very least creates nasty
side effects.
So it’s entirely understandable that people are turning away
from traditional allopathic medicine and seeking =ECAlternative=EE
forms of headache pain relief and information of natural
headache remedies and prevention methods.
It’s incredible that our highly trained medical professionals
lean towards the modern drug therapy (toxic chemicals) and
completely ignore the more natural and effective remedies that
have been tried and tested over many thousands of years.
Many common and annoying ailments can be alleviated and often
prevented by the use of these natural products.
For example, probably the most common type of headache is
caused by tension or stress and a build up of toxins in the
brain, and is generally treated with “over-the-counter” drugs
from the pharmacy, like Paracetomol or Nurofen or similar pain
killers, which can cause stomach problems and as mention, often
cause further problems due to a build up of toxins in the body.
Our modern day lifestyle tends to be very stressful and so the
stress / tension headache is extremely prevalent in modern
society. Wouldn’t it therefore be more sensible to alleviate
the stress and thus prevent the headache pain, which in turn
then does away with the need for pain killers.
Let’s just take a look a few simple ideas for relieving stress
and general tension…
One of the simplest and best ways of easing stress and tension
and also eliminating toxins from the body is to simply
“Breathe” properly.
Every breath we take fills our lungs with oxygen, which is then
carried by the haemoglobin in the red blood cells to every cell
in the body. Every cell must receive this life-giving oxygen to
remain alive and healthy and so you can see how very important
proper breathing is for maintaining health in general and not
just for relieving stress and eliminating toxins.
Of course, it is essential that the air we breathe is as fresh
and pure as possible, which can be difficult in the highly
polluted atmosphere of our inner cities and once again if we
constantly breathe in toxic and polluted air we can actually
bring on toxic headache pain. So first make sure that you
breathe in “fresh air”.
Try this simple breathing exercise… Simply sit in a relaxed
position, preferably with the eyes closed and take a deep
breath, drawing the air deep into the lungs as if trying to
fill the stomach. Hold the breath for a count of four and
imagine the oxygen flowing through your body and filling every
cell with clean, fresh life-giving energy.
Next breathe out slowly through your mouth imagining your whole
body relaxing as if deflating as the toxins pour out. Just
picture every cell in your body releasing all the toxins and
impurities that cause the problems and exchanging them for that
oxygen and feel the tension just flow from you whole body.
Pause for a few seconds and repeat the process, each time
trying to fill the lungs even more. Hold the breath for four or
five seconds once again and then slowly allow the body to relax
as you breathe out all the toxins that are causing the problem.
Repeat this breathing exercise at least ten times and you’ll
find that you are much more relaxed and less tense.
This simple exercise is very powerful and not only helps you
relax and get rid of any stress and tension, but also rids the
brain of the toxins, which can be the chief cause of common
headache pain.
I hope this brings some relief without having to reach for the
usual drugs.
However, for more severe headache pain there are numerous
natural remedies that have been used with great effect for
thousands of years and I’ll try to bring you some tried and
tested pain relief methods in future articles.
