5 Effective Ways to Stop Chronic Migraine Headache Pain

Josh A Harding asked:




When you experience a migraine headache you have two choices of treatment: painkillers or natural treatment approaches. Many natural treatment options exist that are not only safe, but effective as well. In fact, they can often be more effective than painkillers and without the risk of serious side effects.

Biofeedback

Biofeedback has shown positive results when it comes to relieving migraine pain. It is not actually considered a treatment, but a training program that will teach a person how to control certain bodily functions that are normally controlled automatically by the body. Learning biofeedback can allow a person to control functions such as heart rate, body temperature, and blood pressure. Once biofeedback is learned it can be used to reduce or eliminate migraine attacks.

Regular Exercise

Regular exercise is also a big help for migraine sufferers. This involves both cardiovascular exercise such as walking or jogging and weightlifting exercises that will build and maintain muscle tone. However, be aware that when a migraine attack occurs, strenuous exercise or other activities can increase the pain. Do not exercise while experiencing a migraine headache.

Chiropractic Treatment

Chiropractic treatment has been helping migraine headache sufferers for over 100 years. Studies have consistently shown chiropractic to be extremely beneficial for relieving migraines. Some studies have shown positive results in over 80% of patients. Plus, chiropractic is very safe. You’ll often hear people claim that chiropractic is dangerous, but serious problems are extremely rare from chiropractic manipulations. You have a better chance of getting struck by lighting than suffering a severe problem from a chiropractic adjustment.

Reduce Your Salt Intake

If you’re a migraine sufferer that likes to salt their food you may want to get out of the habit. Some people add salt to just about everything they eat. It can add a lot of flavor to food, but it can also cause migraines.

Drink More Water

Dehydration can happen quickly in a migraine sufferer. Sometimes all it takes is three hours without water to bring on a headache. Migraineurs should normally eat smaller meals more often than larger meals less often. Plus, they should be drinking plenty of water every day. Some beverages such as soft drinks and high energy drinks can actually deplete your body of water. Try drinking water and avoid other types of beverages.

These 5 safe and natural treatment approaches are all accepted as being safe and are very successful in relieving migraine headache pain in many people There are many other good natural approaches that can also bring positive results, some of which that may even help you.

Mind-Body-Soul – Healing Yourself Using Your Mind and Will

Lance Winslow asked:




How would you like to heal yourself, better yet, how would you like to never be unwell again? Did you know there are techniques and philosophies behind those techniques to make this happen? What if I told you that there is a lot of scientific research to back it all up? Well, if this interests you, I’d sure like to recommend a very good book to you, one that’s been on my book shelf for well over two-decades and for good reason. The book is:

“Healing from Within” by Dennis T. Jaffe, Ph,D., Published by Alfred A Knoph, New York, 1980.

This book is full of “psychological techniques you can use in partnership with your physician to achieve better health and prevent illness.” In Part One the author discusses the healing partnership and disease adaptation, along with the personal message that an illness is giving to you, warning you that your body is out of balance and it is time to realign things, remove stress and solve these problems. You can either work on self protection or self-destruction, this choice is yours and the author tells you why.

In Part II Jaffe discusses the physical cost of loss and change, as well as the coping and control that must be administered, along with ditching all those repressed emotions, and why they must be overcome. In Part III you will learn all about internal self-control, and how to actually go about freeing yourself from the past and the biofeedback techniques you are going to need to keep it all going in your new balanced life. Please read this book to fix yourself and stay fixed and balance.

Brain Waves and Meditation

Kelly Howell asked:




“Seek truth in meditation, not in moldy books. Look in the sky to find the moon, not in the pond.” – Persian proverb

Since the beginning of time human kind has used meditation techniques to search for answers from both within and without.

Until recent years, entering extraordinary states of heightened receptivity and peak performance has been attained predominantly by only a disciplined few, practicing ancient techniques such as meditation, chanting, yoga, and newly revamped versions of the mystical traditions – for example, progressive relaxation, auto-suggestion, hypnosis, and biofeedback. These techniques work. But they take long periods of practice, discipline, and sometimes a leap of faith. It is all too easy to become impatient and give up long before producing results.

In shamanic traditions, drums have long been used to transport the shaman out of his or her body into other realms of reality through the use of constant rhythmic vibrations. Researcher Melinda Maxfield, studying the Shamanic State of Consciousness, found that the steady rhythmic beat of the drum struck 4.5 times per second was the key to transporting a shaman into the deepest part of his shamanic state of consciousness.

With the invention of the EEG (electroencephalograph) Biofeedback researchers discovered that theta brain waves oscillate at 4.5 beats, or cycles, per second. In direct correlation, we see similar effects brought on by the constant and rhythmic drone of Tibetan Buddhist chants that transport the monks and even other listeners into realms of blissful meditation.

The gentle pulsating rhythms of Brain Sync audio programs (http://www.brainsync.com) act in a similar fashion, yet because the frequencies are precise and consistent they can be targeted to induce highly specific and desired brain states. Just as you can tune a radio to get a particular station, with Brain Sync technology you can re-tune your consciousness – effectively dialing your mind into a wide variety of brain states.

Meditation can be used not only for increased spiritual awareness, but to help focus and center your energies to reduce stress, increase your memory, assist in weight loss, strength conditioning, overcome fears or even help you attract love. By utilizing brain wave technologies you can maximize the power we all already have inside our minds and achieve the results we desire.
