Yoga moves relieve headache symptoms

Often being in a tense work or study environment can easily cause headaches. Yoga movements can make your blood circulation smoother and relieve headache symptoms. How to do it? Let's take a look at two yoga movements that can effectively treat headaches.

Action 1 Standing forward bending rest pose

Auxiliary props: chair, blanket.

Efficacy: Relax upper back and neck muscles, strengthen head blood circulation, and relieve headache symptoms.

Little advice

When staying, the back should be really extended, the abdomen should be slightly retracted,

Stretch your knees straight and feel your feet continue to take root.

1. Prepare a chair (with a blanket on it) in front of you.

2. Open your feet as wide as your shoulders.

3. Exhale, bend your body forward with your hands around your elbows, keep your forehead close to the blanket, and keep breathing for 1 to 2 minutes, or longer as appropriate.

Action 2 Leg-hanging stance

Assistive props: a chair, two blankets, eye pillows.

Efficacy: Relieves headaches caused by nervous tension.

Little advice

Those with weak bodies should remember to cover them with blankets to avoid catching cold.

1. Place the blanket on the chair and floor.

2. Sit sideways in front of the chair.

3. Slowly lie on the blanket so that your back is completely flat, bend your feet and place your hands on the chair, with your hands palms facing up (you can place eye pillows on your eyes to relieve intraocular pressure), and stay for at least 5 minutes.

Essential oil treatment headache secret recipe:

Formula of headache essential oil: 2 drops of mint, 2 drops of lavender, 5 drops of eucali.

You can add water for incense, or add 40 ml of base oil to massage the back of the neck.

Prepare one or several ice compress and hot compress bags, and remember to wrap them with a towel to avoid frostbite or burns. Then, after letting the body lie down, place the ice compress bag on the occipital bone behind the neck, and then place the hot compress bag above the forehead. After placing it for 15 minutes, the two are switched. This method can be reused until the headache disappears. The most important thing is to use the principle of natural thermal expansion and contraction and accelerated blood circulation to increase the oxygen content in the blood vessels of the neck and relax the muscles around the neck to relieve the discomfort caused by headaches.
