natural and safe headache cure
How often do you get a headache? They are a common ailment (affecting up to 78% of the population) and the number one source of pain, which prompts patients to consult their GP!
Most headaches are treated with over the counter remedies or natural, alternative therapies and do not require medical attention.
Causes include tension, stress or anxiety, food intolerances, too much sun, dehydration, migraines, posture, injury, eye strain and hormone imbalances.
Power of the mind
Fortunately help is on hand with a number of techniques and natural remedies. Today I want to talk about an exciting suggestion from Russell Davis. Russell is a cognitive hypnotherapist and is covering a great idea over on his site today.
He calls it ‘the 5 minute headache cure’ and reckons this simple technique works on 80% of headaches caused by tension or stress!
Relax and visualise
It involves visualising and asking yourself three questions about the headache.
Why not have a read through the entire visualisation and give it a go? You have nothing to lose; except your headache!
What about you? What is your favourite natural headache cure?
Our eyes and vision were designed for viewing distance as hunters and gatherers, and not for ongoing near work as required by regular computer use. As a result, Computer Eye Strain is becoming one of the major eye complaints heard by eye doctors today.
Symptoms can include increased myopia, blurred vision, headaches, slow refocusing, difficulty concentrating, neck, shoulder and back pain
Eye strain can be reduced significantly by taking regular breaks from the computer, resting your eyes, stretching and doing eye exercises.
For a demo of 3 great eye exercises by Dr. Grossman, one of the Country’s leading behavioral optometrists, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W10j2fL0hy0
Also, a few research studies show that supplementing with 6mg per day of astaxanthin per day significantly improved eye strain at week 2 and 4 of the test period.

Thank you for sharing the You Tube video. Do you have any experience or opinion on the Bates method? I’m intrigued to know more about it.
