Headache Types

 

Everyone has had a headache, and there is an effective trick if you want to solve it. You just need to eat bananas and drink lots of water in order to lessen the pain.

But, this trick is not always useful. Headaches might be of different types, and therefore, when people suffer from headache symptoms, they are misdiagnosed when they consult their doctor.

This is due to the numerous headache types that may possibly occur, and therefore common treatments may not apply to many of them. Headaches might be caused by many reasons such as fatigue or dehydration, but they might often indicate a more serious health problem.

Dr. Sakib Qureshi MD, a famous neurologist, explains that headaches can very often be manifested by “red light warning signals”, and thus, you need to learn how to separate between common headaches and those that may be a sign of an alarming concern.

However, as a replacement for a pill immediately after the headache occurs, first you should see if it indicates another health issue.

The most usual types of headaches are 4 and all of them indicate something about our body. If you learn the signals, you will effectively learn to treat the headaches properly.

Moreover, instead of taking painkillers that provide only temporary effects, we’ve included some natural treatment alternatives that willreduce painmore efficiently.

• Sinus Headache

In the case of a sinus inflammation, you might experience a sinus headache that causes severe pain. These headaches are a consequence of an infection, and may lead to a pressure that can be felt on the cheeks, eyes and forehead, as well as a fever.

Treatment: consume as many liquids as possible. You possibly will benefit a lot from the use of warm water since it effectively reduces the inflammation and opens the sinuses.

Furthermore, consume oranges, foods high in vitamin C or drink a green tea withlemon, since vitamin C is high in antioxidants and will helps the body to fight infections.

Also, you can try to apply cold and hot compresses, reduce the pain by eating a soup, or a fresh ginger, because it has powerful anti-inflammatory and pain-reducing properties.

• Tension Headache

It’s the most usual headache type that is manifested by a constant pressure or pain around the head, mainly in the back of the head and the neck, or at the temples.

Furthermore, it might also cause a radiating pain above or below the eye area. Often it may lead to nausea or vomiting. It’s believed to be a result of a stress that leads to contraction of the muscles of the neck and scalp.

Treatment: Combine peppermint oil and ginger tea in order to successfully reduce the pain. Add some peppermint oil to the hairline to cause a cooling sensation with the intention to relax the head and neck muscles. Also, ginger tea will relieve the inflammation.

• Cluster Headache

Cluster headache may appear over one eye, and it mostly affects females. It’s often recurring, and might occur in a cycle or in a group. It appears suddenly and leads to a severe pain on one side of the head. So, you could experience a nasal congestion, a watery eye or a rainy nose. Its cause cannot be specified, but it occurs as soon as certain nerve pathway is activated in the base of the brain.
Treatment: Capsaicin cream has an active ingredient called cayenne pepper. A small quantity of it applied to the nostril will cause a barrier of the nerve pain signals.

• Migraine

Migraines usually occur between the age of 25 and 55, but they can also be experienced regardless of the age. In America 38 million people suffer from migraines.

This headache type is way more complicated than anyother headache, because it includes numerous different neurological symptoms. Migraines are manifested by asevere, intense, throbbing pain on only one sideof the head. In one-third of the migraine attacks, the pain occurs on the both sides of the head.

The pain is combined with other symptoms like vomiting, dizziness, nausea, visual disturbances, extreme sensitivity to light, smell, touch, sound, as well as numbness or tingling in the face. The symptoms radiate from the top of the head descending.

Treatment: It has been shown that many migraine patients benefit from the use of omega-3 fatty acids,vitamin B12 (riboflavin), andmagnesium.

Involve sufficient amounts of them in your diet in order to prevent migraines. Besides, according to a 2011study, aerobic exercise can be very effective in preventing these headaches as the preventative migraine medication topiramate.

For that reason, a regular workout may substitute medication.

20 ways to use Castor Oil

By Vanessa Beaty
 If your parents ever gave you castor oil as a child, you know just how unpleasant it can be. What is great about this medicinal concoction is that it is filled with Vitamin E which makes it perfect for a number of things, although taking it orally may not be one of them. It is also filled with proteins, minerals and has anti-fungal and antibacterial properties that make it virtually a cure-all for anything that ails you.

The taste of castor oil alone is enough to make you ban if from your home forever, but there are a number of seemingly abnormal uses for this medicine that does not require you to taste it. Although it can still be used as a laxative (sparingly of course because it works really well) you don’t necessarily have to put it in your mouth to reap its benefits.

Click here to buy and get the latest Castor Oil deals on Amazon.com.

Some pregnant women choose to take castor oil to hurry up their labor, although every doctor in the world recommends against this. Because it works as a laxative, it can actually cause dehydration if you take it without actually needing the laxative effects. Otherwise, there are many different ways that you can put that old castor oil to work and you don’t even need a spoon.

1. Lubricate Scissors

Castor oil makes a wonderful lubricant for scissors. Because it actually can be ingested, it is much better for use on metals that touch food than other lubricants that should never touch your mouth. Just rub a bit on your scissors or other utensils and let it sit for a while and then wipe clean with a paper towel or clean cloth.

2. Soothe Eyes

Castor oil works great to remove tiredness from around your eyes. It works much like petroleum jelly but without the mess. Before you go to bed at night, just rub a little around your eyes and even on your eyelashes. Be careful not to get it in your eyes. It will soak in overnight and leave you looking and feeling a bit more refreshed in the morning.

3. Hair and Scalp Treatment

If you tend to have dry scalp or dandruff, you can rub a little castor oil into your scalp and massage it in to alleviate the flakes and itchiness. Incidentally, the oil works really well as conditioner, too. Just mix 2 teaspoons with an egg white and a teaspoon of glycerin and massage into your wet hair. After a few minutes, rinse with warm water.

4. Arthritis Pain Reliever

Massaging castor oil into achy joints will give you a bit of relief from the pain of arthritis. You can mix castor oil with enough turmeric or cayenne powder to make a paste and then rub it into your joints. Be sure that you don’t get this in your eyes, especially if you choose to use cayenne pepper instead of turmeric.

5. Repeal Moles in the Yard

Moles hate castor oil, probably as much as children do. If moles are tearing up your yard or your garden, must mix ½ cup of castor oil with about 2 gallons of water and pour into the molehills. Note that the castor oil will not kill the little creatures but it will definitely make them start looking for somewhere else to hang out.

6. Healthy Bowels

While you should use caution anytime you actually ingest castor oil (because it works so well as a laxative), mixing just a teaspoon into orange or cranberry juice each morning will keep your bowels working regularly. You can also take a teaspoon if you want to detox your intestines but again, be sure that you limit how much you actually ingest.

7. Perk Up Ferns

If your ferns seem to be a bit less than healthy, a mixture of castor oil will perk them right up. Just combine a tablespoon of the oil with 4 cups of warm water and a tablespoon of baby shampoo. Drip about 3 tablespoons into the dirt around the fern and then follow with regular water.

8. Healthy Skin

You can apply castor oil directly to your skin if you want a more youthful glow. Many people don’t know that this oil is great for eliminating and preventing wrinkles and for pregnant women, castor oil rubbed into the skin can help to improve elasticity and prevent stretch marks caused by pregnancy.

9. Calluses and Corns

Castor oil applied directly to the affected areas can help to relieve calluses that are caused by a number of things. You can also massage a bit of castor oil into corns to help alleviate the pain and swelling that they cause and ultimately make them disappear over time. This takes a few applications but definitely works.

10. Make Hair Grow

If you have balding areas on your scalp, or you just want thicker hair, you can massage a bit of castor oil into the affected area for about 6 minutes every day to promote natural hair growth. This also works on eyebrows so if you want thicker eyebrows, just massage a few drops into your eyebrows for a couple of minutes every day.

11. Repair Split Ends

Another hair benefit of castor oil is its ability to help prevent and repair split ends. Just apply a few drops of the oil directly to the ends of your hair to reduce the amount of breakage that you see. It helps to restore health to your hair and will make it much less brittle so there is less breakage.

12. Healthy Lips

Even though you may not want to have castor oil anywhere near your mouth, it does wonders for dry and cracked lips. In case you didn’t already know, castor oil is actually added to many lip remedies that you buy over the counter. You can simply rub a bit on your lips and it will help to heal cracks and prevent further chapping.

13. Relieve Sore Muscles

Castor oil is wonderful as a general massage oil or you can use it to alleviate sore muscles. Just apply directly to the sore area and then massage for as long as you like. Do the same for general massages. It feels great even if you don’t have sore muscles and the Vitamin E content is great for your skin.

14. Scratches

You can relieve the pain from scratches and other abrasions by using castor oil, too. You don’t have to mix it with anything. Just add a few drops to your scratches and the healthy properties of the oils will begin to heal them, much more quickly than without adding anything. It also works great at curing ringworm and other fungal ailments.

15. Acne Treatment

Castor oil works great as a treatment for deep cystic acne. It helps to decrease the inflammation from the acne and kills bacteria which helps the acne to clear up. It works really quickly, too so put it on before you go to bed and you will notice a drastic improvement when you wake up in the morning.

16. Insomnia Treatment

You can help to cure your sleepless nights with castor oil as well. Just rub a bit on your eyelids before you retire for the night, making sure that you don’t actually get any in your eyes. The castor oil will help to bring about a peaceful night’s sleep and you will wake up refreshed in the morning.

17. Alleviate Colic in Babies

Ok, so you don’t actually give the castor oil to babies who have colic. Instead, warm just a bit by rubbing it in your hands and then gently massage baby’s belly area. This will help to alleviate the pain of gas and other tummy troubles in your infant and help them to sleep without causing any adverse side effects like many over the counter medications.

18. Hemorrhoid Treatment

Castor oil works great on shrinking hemorrhoids and alleviating the pain and itching that they cause. You just have to soak a cotton ball in castor oil and then apply it to your hemorrhoids. Note that this really only works for hemorrhoids that are outside the body. Just leave the cotton ball on your hemorrhoids for about 15 minutes or so and you can do this multiple times each day if needed.

19. Beautiful Nails

Massaging just a small amount of castor oil into your cuticles and on your fingernails each day for a couple of months will give you long, healthy and beautiful nails. You can also use it on your toenails so if you are already getting ready for warmer weather, now is the time to start those pedicures with castor oil.

20. Remove Warts and Skin Tags

Castor oil can be used to remove unsightly warts and skin tags. You just have to apply the oil to the wart or skin tag every day for a few weeks and you should begin to see that mark disappear. Note that this will not work on moles on the skin so make sure you know what you are trying to remove before you begin using it.

My Experience & Log of The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush by Andreas Moritz

April 19^th 2016 Started the 1^st Liver and Gallbladder Cleanse
 
What does the liver do? The liver helps with digestion and also helps remove toxins from the body. Among the substances it makes is bile, which helps digest fats, oils and fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin A. The bile the liver makes, is either taken up by the small intestine, or stored in the gallbladder. The liver plays a central role in all metabolic processes in the body. 
This is the most important organ to detox because it is a processing plant and storage organ. It's responsible for removing toxins from the body so it is important that it is functioning clear and ready for the removing process.

Worked out at the gym – went on the stepper for 20 minutes (I was feeling sluggish and just needed to move my body…typically you want to rest during the prep period of the cleans. The most beneficial thing to do is take a moderate walk daily, mostly because daily sun is essential while on the cleanse. For me, it rained all week, and I had a headache the first few days (unrelated to the cleanse, before I started so I just rested).

Dinner – 8:30pm – Quinoa with Cauliflower and Zucchini curry

Used ERE machine for one hour before bed.

_______

Day 5 – Drink water throughout the day + 32 oz of apple juice or malic acid drink

Worked out at the gym – went on the stepper for 20 minutes. Again made me feel so much better. After my headache spell my whole body ached for some reason (I truly don’t believe it had much to do with the cleanse since it started before I started the cleanse prep) but I listened to my body and working out helped. I also did stretching and yoga at home. I also went to my garden to check on my lettuce transplants and planted some more lettuce seeds, and transplanted some green onions before the following day’s heavy rain.  

Dinner – 6:00pm – Quinoa with Cauliflower and Zucchini curry

Used ERE machine for one hour before bed.

Note - During the cleanse I had a puzzling weight gain. I went from being between 11lbs-115lbs up to 119.4lbs. I think with all the malic acid my body retained a lot of water. I felt super bloated and that uncomfortable started with my headache, so may not have been related to the cleanse but the cleanse didn’t help whatever was going on with me. Today weighed 119.4lbs

_______

Day 6 – Drink water throughout the day + 32 oz of apple juice or malic acid drink

Apple Juice –7:00am-9:00am – 8oz apple juice with 1 ½ tsp malic acid (24oz water) sip slowly for 2 hours

12:30pm – Colonic appointment. There I got to use a Chi machine and Far Infrared Hothouse dome for 20 minutes before my colonic. I felt amazing after! If I had $1,340 to spare, I’d by them both! Before they had the ERE machine there to use which is how I found out about it and knew immediately it was something I had to buy, which is why I not own one, and am super happy with the purchase.

5:45pm – Add 4 tablespoons of epsom salts + 24oz water (divided into 4 servings of 6oz each)

6pm – Drink the 1st serving of epsom salt water (6oz)

Ok I have to make a note on Epsom salt…it’s the most terrible thing I’ve consumed for my health to this date. It’s super bitter and even if you don’t breathe through your mouth while drinking the 6 oz (which I highly recommend for some relief) you still taste the extreme bitterness. The thought repels me! However, I have found that squeezing some lemon into a glass with about an ounce of water and swishing some in your mouth before and immediately after really helps get the taste out. It’s hard to avoid tasting it during the drinking process though, but that only lasts as fast as you can chug it. I then immediately rinsed and gargled with mouthwash.

8pm – Drink the 2nd serving of epsom salt water (6oz)

I weighed myself at this point and I’m back down to 114.4lbs (not surprisingly because I hadn’t eaten all day and had a colonic. But I can’t wait to get back to my more vigerous workouts! But it’s imperative to take it super easy the days of, and after doing the liver cleanse. Andreas describes it as post-surgery, your body is undergoing a pretty intense procedure.  Plus-side! No cutting open or anesthesia or ingesting anything unnatural…another reason I so highly recommend this Liver cleanse! Did you know the liver takes the longest for its cells to completely rejuvenate out of all the organs of your body? It takes 7 years. So you can be an entirely renew body in 7 years if you start making all healthy choices now! Incredible! It’s Never too late to improve your health.

10pm – Mix 4oz grapefruit juice w 4oz olive oil and drink it.  Then lay down on bed with head elevated for 20 minutes. Then lay down on bed with head elevated for 20 minutes with pillow propped up to avoid nausea and possible heartburn. Put warm compress of Apple Cider Vinegar on Liver and focus on liver.  After 20 minutes go to sleep.

_______

Day 7 – Drink water throughout the day after last epsom salt mix

6:30am – drink some warm water then the 3rd ¾ cup of Epsom salt mix

Meditated for 25 minutes with Inner Balance HeartMath (Very important to rest this day)

Warning, Not for the squeamish* - I was Super pleased with this cleanse! I passed a ton of stones. They appear light green and for me they were mostly very small, but noticed one large one about 2cm by 1cm. I started releasing stones at 8:30am, right before the 4^th and last Epsom salt drink.  During my sleep I woke up to use the rest room once, but only passed clear liquid, which you will experience as of the colonic. The Epsom salt really does a number the help with this, essential for clearing the path for the passing of the softened stones.  All releases from your body this day before meals will be pure liquid and stones, so they are easy to identify.

So far this was an extremely successful Liver flush for me. I will definitely be doing a second one in May…following this flush exactly. In the past I have suffered from terrible nausea which is common, but this time I only felt a little light headed in the morning after, which is common due to fasting the day before and all the hard work your body is going through in the flushing process. After several passing session I now feel so much better already! Just the thought of how many stones are no longer in my body make me feel mentally so excited and appreciative for the whole process, and my ability to go through it.  

8:30am: Drink your fourth and 4^th and last ¾ cup of Epsom salt mix.

10:00am – ½ cup of Organic Mango Probiotic juice

At 12pm I weighed 110.8 lbs. Finally back to my regular weight range...however this is with a very empty stomach! I continue to release stones with every release, so far about 6 times.

12:00pm – 1 small mango

2:00pm – 1 small papaya
3:30pm - 6 dove dark chocolate squares
Went for a leisurely walk from 4:00pm-5:00pm. It felt amazing in the crisp air. Moving my body when my energy slowly came back felt great. Fueled on mangoes, papaya and I confess a few dove dark chocolate before my walk;) my weakness that I couldn't wait to get back to!
5:00pm - Vega Sport Recovery Accelerator, Tropical with 1 Tbs of Great Lakes Gelatin Collagen Hydrolysate

Dinner – 6:00pm – Quinoa with Cauliflower and Zucchini curry

Before Bed – 9:00pm – Bedtime Golden Milk

_______
