Jal Neti - Ayurvedic solution to Migraines and Headaches

Do you have constant headaches with sensitiveness to light, noise?
Do your eyes burn or are very tired? Is it one-sided headache?
Do you have constant colds?
Constipation or loose motions?

My younger brother suffered constant headaches since childhood.
He even had to be admitted to hospital, but to no use.
Finally he found the solution to his problems himself.

a) Do jal-neti/Nasal Flush
b) Take nasal steam bath.
c) Most of the colds are due to excess heat in the body.
By taking curds/yoghurt you can reduce the amount of heat.
d) By reducing constipation also heat is reduced in the body.
Eat a good mix of soft/hard fiber in the form of
salads, fruits, sprouts, american corn, soya nuggets.
e) Just above the lips where the 2 nasal nares join the face are 2 accupressure points
Rub the points gently until you feel the nose flowing. Blow your nose.
f) Do a gentle face massage esp. under the cheek bones (pressure points) and around the eyes.
The softer areas above the ears tend to have the blood rushing and pumping causing pain.
Gently massage them and feel the tension easing away.
g) Give an oil message to your hair. Put in water drops for fast evaporation. The oil absorbs the heat and the water evaporates fast leading to instant cooling. Esp. helpful when done at night as hair can be left oiled for the entire 6-8 hours. Gives a lot of relief to the eyes. Feel the tensions of the day oozing out as the scalp massage makes you float on the clouds.
h) Lot of tension accumulates in the shoulders, the neck and the lower back. Massaging esp the pressure points will relieve this pent up tension.
i) Give Reiki/Light to the Solar Plexus, the belly button, the ears and the eyes. This constitutes laying on of the hands forming a cup over the body. Slowly warm energy flows through the person giving the Reiki and into the affected person.
j) Do gentle yoga esp. Supta Vajrasana to relieve tension in the legs, lower back and the stomach.
