Headaches and Migraine

Headaches afflict almost everyone at some time or the other. Most headaches are functional,

caused by temporary upsets and are not related to any organic changes in the brain. A

headache is often nature’s warning that something is wrong somewhere in the body. The actual

pain, however, arises from irritation to nerve endings in the shoulder, neck and scalp muscles

and also in the smooth muscles encircling the blood vessels which serve these areas.

There are several types of headaches, with as many ways of treating them. Taking an aspirin or

tranquiliser may provide temporary relief but it does not remove the cause. Moreover, the

frequent use of pain-relievers causes nervous debility, weakens the heart and brings on other

complications.

The common causes of headaches are allergy, emotional reasons, eyestrain, high blood

pressure, hangover, infection, low blood sugar , nutritional deficiency, tension, the presence of

poisons and toxins in the body, and migraine. Allergies, an often unsuspected cause of

headache, vary in different individuals. The foods to which some people are allergic and which

can trigger headaches are milk and milk products, chocolates, chicken liver, alcohol and strong

cheese. Sneezing and diarrhoea are further indications of an allergy .

Intense emotions often cause headaches. Many people who outwardly appear to have a

pleasant disposition may actually be simmering about a job, or may bear resentment towards a

person or something. This hidden hostility may manifest itself as headache. It is important,

therefore, that negative feelings should not be bottled up, but should find some safe means of

expressions.

Eye-strain is a common cause of headache. IN such cases, an eye specialist should be

consulted and proper treatment taken. Simple eye exercises such as moving the eyes up and

down and from side to side, palming, rotating the head, with neck outstretched, forward and

backward three times, then thrice clockwise and thrice anti-clockwise , can relieve eye-strain.

High blood pressure can cause pounding headaches. The headache usually starts at the back of

the head on getting up in the morning. A safe method of treatment for this is to immerse your

legs to calf-level in a tub of hot water for 15 to 20 minutes. This draws the blood away from the

head and down to the feet, giving relief from the headache.

Many people get a severe headache after consuming alcohol in excess. Alcohol causes the

blood vessels to swell, resulting in a painful headache. The best treatment for this is to avoid

excessive consumption of alcohol. A hangover headache can be avoided by taking a vitamin B-1

( thiamine) tablet with the drink.

Headaches may occur if there is an infection, such as a cold, virus and fever . Here, it is the

infection that should be tackled. Vitamin C therapy is the best all round method. For a cold, high

doses of vitamin C should be taken at hourly intervals with the appearance of the first symptoms

like a sore throat, runny nose, etc. Vitamin C has worked miracles, and is considered a natural

antibiotic.

Low blood sugar is one of the causes of irritability and headache. Sugar is not a cure for low

blood sugar, though it may raise the blood sugar temporarily and make one feel better for a

while. Low blood sugar is the result of an abused pancreas which over stimulates the production

of insulin in the body. It can be controlled by eating smaller meals at short intervals rather than

the standard three large meals daily. The intake of carbohydrates should be cut down to the

minimum and coffee should be eliminated as it over stimulates the pancreas.

A lack of iron, resulting in anaemia, is a common cause of headache. The headache sometimes

appears before the onset of anaemia, due to a chronic iron deficiency. Brewer’s yeast is an

excellent source of iron and anaemia can easily be prevented by taking a few teaspoons daily.

Headache can also be brought on due to the deficiency of B vitamins , namely pantothenic acid,

B-1 (thiamine) , B-12 and B-6 ( pyridoxine) and can be cured by taking these vitamins.

When taking any of the B-vitamin factors seperately, it is absolutely essential to add the entire

B-complex range to one’s diet in some form such as Brewer’s yeats, liver,wheat germ, etc.,

otherwise too much of one factor can throw the other factors into imbalance, resulting in other

problems. Actually, the entire B complex group itself serves as protection against headaches,

including migraine.

Tension headaches are probably the most common of all, and are caused by emotional conflicts

which result in stress. Stress causes the muscles of the shoulder, neck and scalp to tense

unconsciously. Persons who are irritable, tense and lose their temper quickly usually get this

type of headache. It increases gradually and passes off with the release of tension. One should

try to relieve the stress which produces the headache.

Poisons and toxins admitted into the body through food, beverages and water, as well as

through breathing, polluted air, can cause any number of disturbances. A headache may be the

first warning that a poison has entered the body. Additives in foods and in many cases,

cosmetics, skin and hair products are also serious offenders in bringing on headaches. IN

addition, there are toxic air contaminants which are too numerous to mention.

Migraine Headache

Migraine is an ancient and formidable malady. It bothered such distinguished persons as Caesar

and Freud. It has assumed alarming proportions under modern conditions of living and is now

believed to afflict about 10 per cent of the world’s population.

Migraine can be defined as a paroxysmal affection, accompanied by severe headache, generally

on one side of the head and associated with disorders of the digestion, the liver and the vision. It

usually occurs when a person is under great mental tension or has suddenly got over that state.

Migraine is also known as "sick headache" because nausea and vomiting occasionally

accompany the excruciating pain which lasts for as long as three days. Migraine usually gives

warning before it strikes : black spots or a brilliant zig-zag line appears before the eyes or the

patient has blurring of vision or has part of his vision blanked out. When the headache occurs,

the patient may feel tingling, numbness, or weakness in an arm or leg.

Migraine sufferers have what is known as a "migrainous personality ". They are compulsive

workers and perfectionists, who feel that they have to do everything right away. When they

complete a task, they are suddenly laid down from a state of temporary tension to a feeling of

utmost relief. Then comes the migraine. It is a purely physiological process. The head and neck

muscles, reacting to continuous stress, become overworked. The tightened muscles squeeze

the arteries and reduce blood flow. When a person relaxes suddenly, the constricted muscles

expand, stretching the walls of the blood-vessel. With every heart beat, the blood being pushed

through this vessels expands them further and causes incredible pain.

When a headache strikes, one should stay on one’s feet in the daytime and do simple chores

which do not require too much concentration or walk, move around and get some fresh air.

The best remedy to prevent headaches is to build up physical resistance through proper

nutrition, exercise and constructive thinking. As a first step, the patient should undertake a short

fast. During the fast, citrus fruit juices, diluted with water may be taken six times daily. By taking

the load of digestion, the patient will at once save nervous energy which can be utilised for more

important purposes. The blood and lymph will also be relieved of a great burden. After a short

fast, the diet should be fixed in such a way as to put the least possible strain on the digestion.

Breakfast should consist of fruits, both fresh and dried. Lunch should consist largely of protein

foods. Starchy foods such as whole wheat bread, cereals, rice or potatoes should be taken at

dinner along with raw salads. Spices, tomatoes, sour buttermilk and oily foodstuffs should be

avoided. Drinking a glass of water ( warm water in winter and cool water in summer) mixed with

a teaspoonful of honey the first thing in the morning, is also a good remedy.

Water Treatment

There are certain water applications which help relieve headaches. Copious drinking of water

can help , as do the cleansing enema with water temperature at 98.6 o F, the hot foot bath, a

cold throat pack, frequent applications of towels wrung out from very hot water to the back of the

neck, a cold compress at 40 o to 60o F applied to the head and face or an alternate spinal

compress. Hot fomentations over the abdominal region just before retiring relieve headaches

due to stomach and liver upsets.

How to be genuinely happy in spite all these? I tell you… every time you exert effort to improve the quality of life and your being, whether it is cleaning up your room, helping a friend, taking care of your sick dog, fail on board exams and trying again, life gives you equivalent points for that.

Imagine life as a big score board like those which are used in the NFLs. Every time you take a step forward, you make scoring points. Wouldn’t it be nice to look at that board at the end of each game and think to yourself “Whew! I got a point today. I’m glad I gave it a shot.”, instead of looking at it all blank and murmur “Geez, I didn’t even hit a score today. I wish I had the guts to try out. We could have won!” and then walk away.

Genuine happiness isn’t about driving the hottest Formula 1 car, nor getting the employee of the year award, earning the highest 13th month pay, or beating the sales quota. Sometimes, the most sought after prizes in life doesn’t always go to the fastest, the strongest, the bravest or not even the best. So, how do you become genuinely happy? Every one has his own definition of ‘happiness’. Happiness for a writer may mean launching as much best selling books as possible. Happiness for a basketball rookie may mean getting the rookie of the year award. Happiness for a beggar may mean a lot of money. Happiness for a business man may mean success. So, really now, how do we become genuinely happy? Simple. You don’t have to have the best things in this world. Its about doing and making the best out of every single thing. When you find yourself smiling at your own mistake and telling your self “Oh, I’ll do better next time”, you carry with you a flame of strong will power to persevere that may spread out like a brush fire. You possess a willingness to stand up again and try – that will make you a genuinely happy person.

When you learn to accept yourself and your own faults. You pass step 1 in the project “how to become genuinely happy”.For as long as you know how to accept others, you will also be accepted. For as long as you love and know how to love, you will receive love ten folds back.

Again, throw me that same question “how to become genuinely happy?”. I’ll refer you to a friend of mine who strongly quoted- “Most of us know that laughter is the best medicine to life’s aches and pain. But most of us don’t know that the best kind of laughter is laughter over self. Coz then you don’t just become happy… you become free.”
