[www.keralites.net] MIGRAINE

Migraine is a chronic neurological disorder manifesting in the form
of a throbbing head ache with nausea, vomiting, and/or sensitivity
to light. If you or your loved one suffer from migraine, I have
compiled some remedies which you can try safely. Know that quick
treatment of migraine is a wise thing to do.
# Identify your triggers and avoid them. Sometimes it can just be
the weather, a drug or any food like , caffeine or chocolates.
# Do not depend on pain killers and have them for more than thrice
a week.
# Avoid white flour products, sugar, tinned or preserved foods.
Drink more water and eat more fibre, vegetables, whole grains, and
get vegetable proteins like beans, nuts, seeds, broccoli, spinach,
peas etc.
# Sit and stand in proper postures.
# Do not skip meals.
# Exercise but do not overdo it.
# Sleep and wake up at proper timings.
# Keep a headache diary which will help you to find your triggers
and help the doctor to choose his treatment plan.
# When you get a bad headache, lie down in a dark, quiet room. Put
a cold or hot compress on your forehead with a few drops of
lavender oil (if you are not allergic to its scent) in it. Massage
your scalp and apply pressure on your temples.
# Have chamomile tea.
# Start meditation and yoga. Pranayama including Shitali works the
best for migraine. You may also visit a therapist or a counselor
for stress management. Also, ask your doctor about cognitive
behavioral therapy.
# Make a habit of massaging your temples, neck and head when you
get a headache.
# Use peppermint oil to rub on your temples and on the tight
muscles on your neck and shoulders.
# Have carrot juice with spinach.
# Ask your doctor about having Riboflavin, magnesium and Coenzyme
Q10 for prevention.
# Try Gingko Biloba extracts with the consent of your doctor. With
its antioxidants Gingko Biloba dilate blood vessels and improve
circulation throughout the body especially in the brain.

Wishing you good health,
Regards,

[www.keralites.net] 7 ways to lower your blood pressure without medication

7 Ways to Lower Your Blood Pressure without Medication

1. Invest in a home blood pressure monitor.
It is wise to monitor your blood pressure at home, as well as your doctor's office. Combining your readings with your doctor's will provide a better measure of your high blood pressure and treatment to control it. Also, home monitoring will rule out if you suffer from "white coat hypertension". Ideally, monitor your blood pressure at the same time every day.
2. Increase your potassium intake.
Potassium works to balance out the sodium in your diet. An adequate potassium intake can lower systolic pressure and diastolic pressure. Some good potassium sources include cantaloupe, bananas, dates, nuts, oranges, and green leafy vegetables. If you are taking diuretics (i.e. water pills) to lower blood pressure, the excess urination can cause loss of potassium for some diuretics.
3. Reduce caffeine intake.
Limit caffeine from tea, coffee, soda, sports drinks, and chocolate to maintain healthy blood pressure levels. Caffeine can lead to short, but significant increases in blood pressure.
4. Manage stress.
Coping strategies to deal with stress can promote high blood pressure levels, such as overeating, smoking, and increased alcohol consumption. Implement stress management strategies to avoid these pitfalls.
5. Eat a diet rich in magnesium.
Research has shown an inverse relationship between magnesium and blood pressure. Individuals with a high magnesium intake, typically have a low blood pressure. Some good sources of magnesium include peas, beans, whole grains, nuts, seeds, lima beans, squash, broccoli, spinach, and seafood. Learn more about and implement the DASH diet to consume adequate levels of potassium and magnesium daily. For greatest success, implement changes gradually versus all at once.
6. Get adequate sleep.
Research indicates insomnia may be linked to high blood pressure. Take steps to protect your sleep, such as going to bed and getting up at the same time every day (even on weekends), power down for one hour before bed (meaning no electronic devices), and have a regular bedtime ritual.
7. Lose weight.
Being overweight or obese increases your risk for high blood pressure. As you gain weight, your blood pressure tends to rise. Weight loss of only ten pounds can positively impact blood pressure levels. Overweight is defined as a BMI of 25 to 29.9 and obesity is a BMI equal to or greater than 30.

[www.keralites.net] Touch Healer - Dr.Shashikanth Seth

Touch healer Dr. Shashikant Seth back
Dr. Shashikant Seth, the touch healer from Bombay, India, is back in Sri Lanka to conduct his programme of healing and training. His wife is also with him on this visit to assist him.
"Bypass the bypass surgery", says Dr. Seth who claims that a decoction of dried pomegranate seeds in lukewarm water worked wonders for many of his patients suffering from angina. The success of this experiment Dr. Seth says encouraged him to try the decoction on patients waiting for bypass surgery, and these patients too experienced relief in all symptoms.
"In one case of coronary arterial blockage, the patient started using half a glass of fresh pomegranate juice daily for a whole year. It completely reversed the plaque build-up and unblocked the arteries to normal levels." Dr. Seth also claims to have a special home remedy for Diabetes, which is another decoction with the addition of Jeevan Pravan oil which he supplies. In addition to these treatments, Dr. Seth practises touch healing, naturopathy for physical and emotional problems. A training course for touch healing is also being conducted.
