Treatment of headache with folk remedies
Frequent headaches ( and in our fast-paced world they suffer almost every) may be a sign of a serious illness.
Causes of headache may be violations of intracranial circulation( for example, with migraine), increased blood pressure, anemia.
Recognizing and finding out the cause of headaches is of great importance for the correct choice of remedies. If you are practically healthy and the headache is episodic, you can try to remove it yourself, using proven folk remedies.
Its causes are overfatigue, excitement, changing of habitual situation, change of time zones, lack of sleep, violation of diet, etc. It should be remembered that a headache can be a symptom of dangerous diseases, such as hypertension, ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke of the brain, a tumorbrain, osteochondrosis of the cervical spine, etc. Most often this pain is localized in the neck, temples or forehead. Small in intensity headaches do not require treatment, much less taking medications and pass alone after a long rest or sleep. If the headache becomes persistent, then you can try folk methods of treatment, which often prove very effective. If headaches bother you very often, you should consult a doctor to determine their cause.
According to the "water" theory, the causes of migraine are, firstly, dehydration, secondly, alcohol, thirdly, too warm a bed( in particular, a blanket), fourthly, allergic reactions of the body and, fifthly, The ambient temperature is too high. Thus, migraine can be called a disease, provoked by "heat stress", in which dehydration of the organism plays not the least role.
The most logical and reasonable means of fighting headaches is regular and sufficient water intake. Otherwise, migraine can destroy the pain threshold, which will provoke a number of chemical transformations in the body that negatively affect its function. Usually, with migraines, doctors recommend copious drinking and painkillers. It should be remembered that cold water helps to narrow the lumen of blood vessels. Their expansion with the use of hot drinks can act as the main cause of headaches.
Why does my head hurt? Your doctor can answer this question, but sometimes you, especially in cases of repetitive pain, for example, with migraine or during premenstrual tension, can be an excellent diagnostician.
And if the cause of the headache is clear to you, try as a medicine tea.
One wise old woman knew the recipes for all occasions, including, from a headache. She advised: take good Indian tea, brew in a porcelain teapot, add a tablespoon of sugar to a glass of tea, drink it slowly, dissolving in your mouth, tie your head with a warm scarf( better wool and bright) and lie down for 15-20 minutes. Stand up healthy. After learning some details about the medicinal properties of tea, you yourself can explain its analgesic effect.
About the ability to shoot a headache with the help of plants you often find yourself in the summer when the air is literally overflowing with healing essential oils. Essential oils are plant bioactive substances that enter the body through airways.
Plants containing a significant amount of essential oils and used for its production are called essential oil plants. And, depending on the content of essential oil, parts of the plant are called etherons. Specialists are four groups of etheronos:
1. Ethers, accumulating essential oils in fruits, - grain essential oil raw materials: coriander, anise, cumin, fennel, dill, etc.;
2. Ethers that accumulate essential oils in flowers, - flower material: rose, azalea, jasmine large-flowered, tuberose, lily, narcissus, hyacinth, lilac, white acacia, fragrant violet, etc.;
3. Ethers that accumulate essential oils mainly in the inflorescence and vegetative mass of plants - flower-herbaceous etheric-oil raw material: pink geranium, eugenol basil, real lavender, mint, clary muscat, caucasian caucasian, patchouli, eucalyptus, etc.;
4. Ethers bearing essential oils mainly in rhizomes and tubers, - root material: root, vetiver, iris, etc.
In some plants, essential oils accumulate in flower buds, for example in poplar, birch, cloves;in the bark - a cinnamon tree;in resin and resinous juice - resin conifers, benzoic resin, Peruvian and Toluansky balms. Essential oils differ from fatty( sunflower, olive, etc.) in that they completely volatilize at normal temperature, do not leave stains on paper.
Essential oils aromatize water, but quickly evaporate from its surface, but in organic media( ether, alcohol, resins) and natural products( honey, milk, cream) are well preserved due to dissolution in them.
Using them only to improve the taste and smell of drugs is not justified, since many essential oils are themselves a medicine. The most studied component of essential oils are azulene and hamazulene. They attach to such plants as chamomile, yarrow, labaznik, spasmolytic effect: tea from chamomile - a favorite folk remedy for pain in the stomach and intestines. In addition, as scientific studies have shown, hamazulene activates the function of the immune system. Cells that can absorb "foreign", for example bacteria, become more active under the influence of chamazulene.
Essential plant oils improve tissue respiration and resist aging due to the accumulation of organic phosphorus and ascorbic acid in tissues.
A number of essential oils( anise, thyme, eucalyptus, turpentine) is secreted by the lungs in an unchanged form, affects the excretion of sputum and nasal mucus, has a deodorizing and disinfecting effect.
Many essential oils are excreted by the kidneys and through the bile ducts.
And almost all of them are natural analgesics.
