Tension Headache

Dress suitable when you are indoors as well as outdoors. Your choice of what to wear must be in complete harmony with the weather conditions and the temperature around you. You have to understand that too much is just as bad as too little. If you wrap yourself up tightly all the time you are in fact restricting the flow of blood to certain parts of the body.  Ties and scarves must be avoided as much a s possible and if you have to wear these, try to keep them as loose as possible without appearing too dowdy. 

While traveling be nice to your body and give it time to adjust to any time changes. For example if you are flying across the International Date Line, there is ever chance that you will experience what is popularly known as the jet lag. Give you body time to adjust to such uncommon things.  Try your best to get the sleep that your body needs while you are traveling. Do not bury your nose in a book or watch a movie, SLEEP    

Here are some more exercises for that tension headache...

You have to understand that the tension headache comes purely from tight cervical and neck muscles. When muscles become tight, what actually happens is that lactic acid gets accumulated in them? 

Under ordinary conditions, when a muscle works, glucose gets converted into carbon dioxide and water. The blood easily removes these two waste materials. 

But when a muscle has to work for too long or for tow hard the energy demand is too high that the cells do not get time to convert glucose fully into carbon dioxide and water. Instead the glucose is converted into another substance that is lactic acid.

The problem with lactic acid is that it restricts further movement of the muscles and this results in muscular cramps. In such conditions application of a little bit of pressure can help the muscles release the pent up lactic acid. When the cervical and neck muscles get accumulated with lactic acid, it often results in a headache. The exercise that is described below can prove to be very effective.

   1.  Turn on the shower and direct the flow of the stream of water onto the back of your neck

   2.  Now turn your head as if you are trying to see who is behind you.

   3.  Stand like this for one or two minute.

   4.  Then repeat the exercise but looking in the opposite side this time.

Know your sinus points and use the acupressure method to treat your self and rid yourself of the pain.
