What are the methods to relieve headaches and tinnitus?

Headache and tinnitus are not uncommon symptoms. This symptom may be caused by a personal illness or excessive external noise. Because it will cause great discomfort to the body, after the symptoms of headache and tinnitus appear, it is necessary to take timely measures to relieve the symptoms. Specific methods include: rubbing the temples, soaking hands in hot water, eating foods containing magnesium, wrapping a towel around the head, and meditating. The specific methods are as follows:

1. Rub your temples

Press your temples with the middle fingers of both hands and rub them in circles. After rubbing them 7 to 8 times clockwise, rub them 7 to 8 times counterclockwise. Repeat this several times. If you persist for a few days, your migraine headache will be greatly relieved. You can also comb and massage the painful points. The patient can place the ten fingertips of both hands on the most painful part of the head and do light and quick massage like combing your hair. Comb and massage 100 times back and forth each time. Do it once in the morning, noon, and before dinner every day to relieve the pain.

2. Soak your hands in hot water

Immerse your hands in hot water for about 30 minutes to dilate the blood vessels in your hands, thereby reducing the corresponding amount of blood to the brain and achieving the purpose of relieving pain. Or you can use Chinese medicine to plug the nose. Take 15 grams each of Chuanxiong, Angelica dahurica, and roasted Polygala tenuifolia, dry them, add 7 grams of borneol, grind them into fine powder, and bottle them for later use. When a migraine occurs, wrap a small amount of powder in silk cloth and plug the right nostril. It usually relieves the pain in 15 minutes.

3. Eat foods containing magnesium

For example, walnuts, peanuts, kelp, oranges, almonds, whole grains, and various green leafy vegetables can relieve migraines.

4. Wrap a towel around your head

It may seem funny, but it's a great way to treat migraines. When you feel pain, use a towel or soft cloth strip to wrap around your temples with appropriate tightness. This can inhibit blood vessel dilation and relieve pain.

5. Meditation

Due to long-term noise exposure, loud sound vibrations, head trauma, viral infection of the inner ear and other adverse factors, the inner ear hair cells will suffer varying degrees of damage, leading to confusion in auditory transmission function. The tinnitus caused by these factors often manifests as screaming, high-pitched, and lasts for a long time.

Using yoga and meditation is a new way to treat migraines. You can buy a CD of this kind, and when you have a headache, close your eyes and meditate for a while to the music, letting the harmonious sounds of nature make you forget the pain.
