Migraine Headaches - Help Relieving the Pain

This is one of the tips I picked up while on medical leave.

You will find that practicing yoga helps alleviate pain when you feel a headache coming on:

• Close your eyes,
• Wrap an ace bandage around your forehead (starting at the back of your head), and across your temples and eyebrows (this will lessen the eye pressure),
• Move your eyeballs away from the eyelids (they should drop back and down in their sockets,
• Try to keep the bandage on for a minimum of 10 minutes.

When you are at work try this:

• While seated at your desk, rest your forehead on a hard surface (like a book),
• Place your head down (this softens the skin at the back of the neck),
• Make sure there is a straight line between the back of the neck and shoulders,
• You can now bend your arms and support your elbows on the desk,
• Try inhaling and exhaling softly and quietly through your nose,
• Do not hold your breath,
• Make sure you keep your shoulders down (spreading your shoulder blades and moving down and away from each other),
• Hold for about five minutes.

I find this helpful and prefer this to taking more medications.

I hope and pray that this post has helped someone today.
