Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hello, I would like some advice for natural relief for stress & tension headaches. I've been getting them daily lately as I have lots of added stresses in my life right now. It would be impossible to remove myself from the sources of the stress. I am only just learning about homeopathy, and am hoping to find a perfect remedy, but it is taking some time to study. The headache starts at the base of the skull/neck area and slowly increases in intensity as well as spreading upwards to the rest of my head. I also have pain behind my eyes too and I feel like I want to put pressure against or squeeze the areas that hurt in order to alleviate the pain. Head massage helps at first, but doesn't make the pain go away. I will welcome any suggestions. Thanks. ~ Tamara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would first use it for the actual headache, and then for the stressers that are giving you the headache. You can read about EFT on the website at www.emofree.com. You can also download a free manual and watch free videos of the process. A lot of people learn EFT just from those two places. I hope this helps you. Also, you might try massaging the muscles of your upper neck while taking a warm shower which helps to loosen the tight muscles and should give you some relief. I hope this helps you. Have a blessed day. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 A new technique called, " Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) " is working very well for many people. It is a tapping by the fingers on different pressure points, very similiar to accupuncture but non-invasive.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 hi tamara first of all i would ask you to be positive.have a positive approach to whatever you are doing and stop fighting with yourself.be your natural real self.dont try to be what you are not.dont act out of your ego or impulse .have a relaxed approach to life and do exactly what you really are as a beautiful person.only when there is a conflict between your inner and outer self this tension builds up because each and every moment you try to be what you are not.i dont know what your source of stress is ,but if it is related to your work/career change it if possible,if not have a positive approach to whatever you have in hand and stop fighting with yourself.stress is always due to attitude problems.the moment you change your approch to life and start taking things cooly this will disappear. this is the most natural approach to tension headaches . jyoti etienne_28 <fleur-de-lis wrote: Hello, I would like some advice for natural relief for stress & tension headaches.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hello Tamara, I have had excellent results for both stress relief and headache using herbal formulas from the rainforest. They combine calming herbs with hormone balancing herbs as well as trace minerals that support all the body systems so that the body can take care of itself. I know many people who had previously used prescription medications like zoloft for depression or stress who do much better going naturally. If you'd like to read more about them - you can go to: http://discoverhealth.amazonherb.net/wellness_1_1.aspx I hope that helps.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Well the first sugguestion would be to try to lower your stress level! you shouldn't be stressing yourself out so bad that it causes your health factor to decline. Maybe try taking a yoga class once a week or maybe take a run at night/morning and just try to excerise your stress out. Excerising is a good way to take your stress away.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Hi, I used to suffer effects of tension. I began doing Transcendental Meditation. Mahraji Mahesh Yogi and the beatles were into this decades ago, but the techniques work. Focus on something unusual and slow your breathing - like you were breathing through tissue paper. Then contentrate on your whatever. I was trying to show my daughter one time and she panicked because she couldn't feel or hear heartbeat or breathing. This was the result of many years practice.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Disarm Headache and Migraine Triggers, Naturally! Henry Bieler, M.D., in my opinion, presented the best logical explanation to migraines and headaches in his book, Food Is Your Best Medicine. Dr. Bieler believes that the best way to prevent migraines is to reduce exposure to toxic substances and improve your body's ability to detoxify substances in your intestinal tract and liver. Here's how Dr. Bieler explains a migraine headache: " Food eaten today is about as far removed from the natural diet of man as man is from his primitive jungles. Man, however, still has approximately the same digestive apparatus and liver as his remote ancestors. If he lives on natural food, his liver remains efficient; if he fills his stomach with breads, hot dogs, chili, doughnuts washed down with coffee, his outraged liver cannot do its work. Whether his liver breaks down early or late depends upon how good an organ it was at birth. But break down it will, and when it fails to filter and neutralize toxins from the blood, an extra line of defense must come into play. This defense is carried on by the endocrine glands, which try to direct these toxins into other eliminative organs. The principal endocrine glands called upon for this effort are the pituitary which lies at the base of the brain, the thyroid, situated in the neck, and the adrenals, which fit like a cap over each kidney. Glands of internal secretion then are pressed into hyperfunction, forced to manufacture more of their secretion. However, since the amount of gland's secretion is in exact ratio to the volume of blood entering it, the gland is enlarged by this extra blood supply, which often can have disastrous physical consequences. The pituitary gland, for example, does not have much room in which to swell, encased as it is in a bony cup at the base of the skull....very little swelling can take place without creating a pressure on a gland within its box. This pressure can cause alarming symptoms. Four different diseased states, all arising from a toxemia of the blood, can result from the pressure: migraine headache, the common types of epilepsy, acromegaly and blindness. There are many cases in my files of migraine and epilepsy-cases in which the distressing symptoms have been arrested and the body restored to health. This was accomplished by taking the excessive dietary burden off the liver, which then was able to cleanse the blood stream and restore a balance between the pituitary, thyroid and adrenal glands. " (pp. 44-45) The worst toxins leading to migraine headaches are simple sugars. Dr. Bieler calls it " alcoholic type of headache " . The alcohol does not come from drinking alcoholic beverages. It is manufactured in the person's own stomach. It results from the fermentation of the sugars and starches in that person's diet. This alcohol is more harmful than bottled spirits. " Alcohol made in the intestines has among its ingredients sour mash and other products very toxic to the body. " (p. 45) A migraine sufferer should remove all breads, starches (rice and pasta), cookies, chocolate....etc. Eat vegetables, low glycemic fruits (apples, oranges, cherries, peaches, berries and pears), fish, nuts, seeds, brown rice and yams. This diet will eliminate the surplus of poisons and migraines will simply not come back. Beneficial nutritional support: To help with nourishing the body: • Wild-crafted blue green algae http://tinyurl.com/iw4k Drink 8 to 12 glasses of spring water daily. Take small and frequent sips to prevent your cells from shrinking as a result of dehydration. Avoid large amounts of fluid with meals (liquid with meals dilutes digestive enzymes which are designed to work without dilution from liquids). Migraines and headaches are preventable. Just treat the body right by giving it the right foods. References: Bieler, Henry, M.D. (1965). Food Is Your Best Medicine. New York: Ballantine Books.
