(King Jangsu) Headache can be relieved with guasha massage and Pu-erh tea.

Do you catch a cold when the seasons change?

 

Whenever the seasons change, I experience strange symptoms starting with migraines.

So, I lived with migraines.

I have been regularly visiting the Neurosurgery Department at Konkuk University Hospital for migraines for a long time.

I had a migraine treatment. When I took medication, I would get better, but after the change of seasons, it would come back, and the cycle would repeat.

Have you ever cried while sleeping at night?

Migraine headaches differ from regular headaches in that they come on one side only, or the pain feels like a continuous stabbing sensation, as if pierced with a needle.

The pain of a repeated "ak~" sound continues even during daily activities in the daytime.

The pain is so unbearable that I can't even sleep at night.

 

Last January morning, while brushing my teeth, I suddenly felt a tingling sensation at the back of my head.

Ah~ I thought it was just the beginning. Still, I took Tylenol right away and waited for a week or two.

It gets worse and worse, and there's no sign of getting better at all.

When I called the neurosurgery department at Konkuk University, they said the earliest appointment available was in three months.

I'm so sick right now that I feel like I'm going to die, so I started searching for a private neurosurgery clinic near my house.

 

Finding a personal neurosurgeon is really like searching for a star in the sky.

Fortunately, there was a newly opened clinic nearby, so I received an EEG and blood tests, among other things.

They say it seems to be a kind of stress-related issue without any special symptoms.

 

Along with the prescribed medication provided by the hospital, I started guasha massage on the soles of my feet from that time.

You know that our health is reflected in our hands and feet, right?

 

 

The cast I use is said to resemble a dinosaur by everyone? Is that so? Haha

 

Warm foot bath

 

Feet are generally better than just doing it.

Please fill the basin with lukewarm water, not hot water, and soak your feet.

I also include drinking green tea bags and use vinegar.

Vinegar should be mixed with warm water in a ratio of about 2:1.

It also helps with antibacterial effects, skin beautification, and exfoliation.

It is said to help relieve itching and also assist with foot odor.

Please soak in warm water for about 10 to 20 minutes.

 

It is said that it is better not to exceed 30 minutes.

 

Gua sha massage that is good for headaches??

 

 

Press and hold the middle part of the big toe for about a minute.

You don't really need something difficult or a lot.

If you don't have a guasha tool at home,

It doesn't matter at all if you press it with a wooden chopstick or a ballpoint pen.

 

If it's a headache caused by stress, it tends to become chronic like mine.

Drinking after a foot bath before sleeping is also very good for preventing headaches.

 

 

 

 

 

After hearing that stress is the cause, I started to enjoy drinking tea more.

Among them, I really like Pu-erh tea as much as coffee.

When the cold wind blows, I enjoy it warm; these days, I prefer it cool with ice.

 

 

Since ancient times, the benefits of Pu-erh tea include

 

🔸Diet

It contains a fermented ingredient called catechin that inhibits fat absorption.

It is said to be highly effective in reducing fat.

Digestive enzymes help break down and eliminate fats, contributing to weight loss effects.

 

🔸Vascular health

Rich in vitamins and minerals, which promotes blood circulation.

They say it provides great benefits for vascular health.

 

🔸Skin health

Rich in antioxidant components like vitamins C and E, which also slow down aging.

 

🔸Liver health

Contains beneficial bacteria that maintain gut health and promote metabolism.

It is said to also help with the digestive system.

 

🔸Eye health

It is said that vitamin A helps improve eye health and prevents night blindness.

 

🔸 The most important stress relief

Drinking Pu-erh tea helps relax the body.

It also contains fetal substances with a calming effect, as well as phytochemicals and neurotransmitters.

It is said to contain many ingredients that help relieve stress, such as GABA.

 

 

 

   Lighting a scented candle while drinking Pu-erh tea is also good for calming the mind and body, haha.

   

 

 

The doctor said that you shouldn't ignore even mild symptoms of a headache.

Instead of just enduring when you're sick, take a vibrating device.

Identify the cause through hospital diagnosis and tests.

Treatment appropriate to the cause and improvement of lifestyle habits are considered the most important.

 

Taking painkillers for temporary relief can lead to greater pain later.

Simple massages, healthy meals, mood refreshment, and appropriate exercise are said to be helpful in everyday life.

 

If massage is difficult, how about a 10-minute foot bath starting today?
