Natural Remedies For Migraines

Migraines can have many causes.

  1. Sensitivities to certain foods or compounds or smells.
  2. Hormone shifts.
  3. Posture.
  4. A short leg or one flat foot.
  5. Trigger points.

Ha!  I bet you didn’t know about the last three, did you?  I’ll bet your doctor doesn’t, either.  Most don’t.

That’s okay.  My goal is to help you get rid of those miserable migraines.

Sometimes the only way to get better is to be your own doctor or therapist.  Please don’t get me wrong–I love doctors!  Even surgeons!  I wouldn’t be here today talking with you otherwise.

But there is so much for them to know and so little time to spend with you.  And mostly doctors learned about meds in med school.  They didn’t learn much about muscles or the causes of migraines.

I’m talking to you on your level.  I have been where you are.  Migraines took blocks of days out of my life.

But now if I sleep crooked and get a migraine it’s much more controllable and rare.

I wrote an easy-to-use self-help book to help you be your own headache doctor and therapist.

It’s short and to the point because who wants to read tons of words when your head hurts?  There are helpful illustrations, too.  You really can get rid of your migraines and headaches naturally or at least seriously reduce them.

Head Pain Natural Relief: Discover Why You Get Headaches and Migraines and How to Make Them Stop explains why you hurt and exactly what to do to eliminate your headaches or migraine pain.  It’s available in soft cover, which I recommend so you can mark it up, or Kindle version.  If you don’t have a Kindle, Amazon will give you a Kindle reader for your phone or computer for free.

You don’t have to keep suffering when there are natural remedies available for headaches and migraines.

Get Rid Of Your Muscle Pain Naturally With Healthy Foods And Self-Care

How can you get rid of pain in your muscles and joints?  Would you believe me if I said it’s fairly simple?  All you have to do is…

Exactly what your body wants you to do!  🙂

Truly, your body has certain things that it needs and wants.  When you don’t hand them over, it gets cranky.  And when your body is complaining it makes you hurt.

What does your body need?

Real food.  There are tons of reasons not to eat highly processed food-type items that were made in factories.

And here’s a thought:

If you had the choice of a luscious salad with a mix of fresh ingredients or a piece of cake, which would you choose?  Which do you think your body would choose?  Why?

Here’s another thought:

If I offered you pancakes made with white flour, egg whites and fake maple syrup made with high fructose corn syrup and artificial color and artificial flavor, would you choose that?  Or would you choose whole eggs, whole grain toast with real butter and a piece of fruit?

Which would your body choose?  Be honest.

When we don’t feed our bodies what they want, here’s what we get:  Fat.  Sick.  Old.

Think about your car.  Your car needs the correct fuel to operate properly.  You wouldn’t put milk in your car because that isn’t the right fuel.

You need the correct fuel, too.

Think about what Grandma ate and you will be much, much closer to real food.  (If Grandma had enough money and food, she ate whole eggs, right?  And meat with fat?  That’s the way God made them.)

MovementYou were built to move but most of us spend way too much time sitting.  Bodies don’t like that.

Joints need to Continue reading “Get Rid Of Your Muscle Pain Naturally With Healthy Foods And Self-Care”

Easy Way To Improve Your Posture And Help Your Back Feel Better–Video

If you are slumping and have back pain, I can help.

Your poor back muscles are complaining. They hate being stretched when your heavy head is out in front of your body. It’s supposed to be over your body.

But lots of positions that we work or sit in let our heads move forward. Not good.

And, lots of times we get into habits like sitting on our tailbones instead of on our sit-bones. Also, not good.

This can give you knots in your back.

But, here’s an easy way to improve your posture and start to feel better.

Think “long in front and strong in back.”  That’s the goal–long muscles in the front of your body and arms and a strong backside from knees to head.

Here’s a little video to help you get started:

Whenever you do a new movement, do it thoughtfully. Pay attention to your body.

Where are you feeling the stretch? How does it feel?  How much is enough?

When you do the movement in this video gravity works with you. That’s a really good thing because most of the time gravity is not your friend.

You can also place the noodle off-center and use it as a pivot point to get even more stretch in your chest muscles.  Place the noodle lengthwise along your spine but between one shoulder blade and your spine.  And don’t do this until your chest muscles have adapted to the movement in the video.

I’d love it if you leave a comment here and let me know how this simple method of improving your posture worked for you.

Remember, bodies are logical. If you do certain things that they don’t like they will complain. They will give you pain.  🙁

Lengthening the front of your body and stretching your chest muscles will help you get rid of the pain in your back caused by poor posture.  🙂

Here’s a Simple Movement to Relax Your Legs and Hips

Here are two very simple exercises that will relax the muscles in your hips and legs.

You can do this in bed on your back or seated.  Here are the seated directions:

  • Sit pretty straight in a comfortable chair that fits you well and supports your lower back behind the waist.
  • Pull up a footstool that’s a comfortable height.
  • Put your foot up.
  • Roll that foot from side to side like the windshield wiper on a car.

You can do this 10 times to start, one foot at a time.

  • Roll one foot in circles, in one direction, ten times.
  • Pause to the count of ten.
  • Roll the foot in the other direction.
  • Pause to the count of ten.
  • And then roll your other foot in circles the same way.

 

This is a simple and effective way to strengthen and relax your hip and leg muscles.
