Chronic headaches... Instead of painkillers, we treat the cause with healthy foods that are good for the body~

Has anyone never experienced a headache?

Headaches vary in pain and location depending on the person, so minor headaches are often ignored and easily left untreated.

[if !supportEmptyParas] [endif]

The causes of headaches are mainly primary headaches and secondary headaches.

Primary headaches generally include migraines, tension headaches, and cluster headaches that many people experience. Secondary headaches are caused by conditions such as brain tumors, brain hemorrhages, increased intracranial pressure, encephalitis, and meningitis.

[if !supportEmptyParas] [endif]

Since the causes of headaches are quite diverse and not easy to identify, it is important for individuals to be aware of their own pain, undergo timely examinations, and receive proper treatment.

[if !supportEmptyParas] [endif]

Among them, secondary headaches require even more attention because they can lead to serious illnesses.

If the following conditions are met, it is advisable to go to the hospital quickly and receive medical treatment.

[if !supportEmptyParas] [endif]

1) When a headache that has never been experienced before suddenly begins

Newly developed headaches in children, middle-aged and older adults, cancer patients, immunosuppressed patients, and pregnant women

3) Headaches that worsen when standing compared to lying down, triggered by exercise, sexual activity, breath-holding, or straining.

4) Even if a patient usually experiences headaches, if the frequency suddenly increases, the intensity worsens, or the pattern of the headache changes from before

5) When loss of consciousness or epileptic seizures are accompanied by headaches

6) When paralysis, sensory loss, or similar symptoms appear on the opposite side of the body where the headache occurred

7) When noise is heard around the eyes or on the skull

8) When symptoms do not match typical migraine with aura, which is a migraine with common prodromal symptoms

In such cases, it is recommended that you visit the hospital and undergo tests such as CT or MRI for an accurate diagnosis.

Since I was young, I often suffered from inexplicable migraines and used to live with medications like Pentazocine or Tylenol. In fact, because medications can lead to tolerance, the dosage often increases over time or they become ineffective, so recently I try to avoid taking medicine as much as possible and instead rely on acupressure, headache-friendly herbs, or teas to cope.

One of the reasons I have been suffering from frequent headaches lately is due to stress-induced indigestion and a herniated disc.

It's not that I don't want to receive or can't handle the stress from work or home, but I just can't avoid it...

Let's try to relax our minds as much as possible!!! I'm determined, but it's not easy.

Whenever I encounter a highly stressful situation, I try to step away from the scene for a moment, take a walk, and do some stretching.

A sudden burst of intense headache can cause a rapid onset of severe pain, so avoiding it even for a moment can help reduce the pain.

Since conditions like disc issues or indigestion are not quickly cured, consistent dietary management and exercise seem to be the only ways to also treat headaches.

These days, I'm not taking medication made for headaches, but rather a throat lozenge that a friend made, claiming it's good for the bronchi and other areas~~

A health food made with bellflower root powder, turmeric powder, and honey, which seems to help with various adult diseases, headaches, and digestion, so I wanted to introduce it to you.

Actually, most headaches are caused by other conditions like mine rather than the head itself.

[if !supportEmptyParas] [endif]

Since my friend sells health supplements, I often get them and take them with my mother.

There are also a lot of places selling them.

[if !supportEmptyParas] [endif]

The throat pack is a remedy made by fermenting dried platycodon root powder and turmeric powder mixed with honey for about two weeks, as previously mentioned. It is originally a health supplement that is good for the lungs, bronchi, and rhinitis, and also beneficial for blood sugar regulation and cholesterol.

※ Benefits of turmeric

[if !supportEmptyParas] [endif]

1. Brain health

The most representative component of turmeric is called curcumin. This curcumin helps supply nutrients to the brain and activates the secretion of brain growth hormones, thereby aiding in the overall improvement of brain function. Additionally, curcumin helps inhibit substances that cause dementia, thus contributing to the prevention of dementia.

2. Prevention of aging

The antioxidant properties of curcumin in turmeric help eliminate reactive oxygen species in the body and assist in cell regeneration, making it highly effective in preventing aging. Additionally, the antioxidant effects of curcumin are also effective in skin whitening, contributing to skin beauty.

3. Anticancer Effect

The curcumin component of turmeric is not only highly effective in inhibiting the proliferation and development of cancer cells but also helps in destroying tumors. In particular, due to its ability to suppress the growth of cancer cells, it is said to aid in the prevention of cancers such as stomach cancer, liver cancer, and prostate cancer.

4. Upper health

Since curcumin increases the amount of blood flow to the stomach, it helps with digestion, thereby significantly improving overall stomach function and promoting stomach health. In particular, it also has the effect of stimulating bile production, which aids in the breakdown of fats during digestion, providing beneficial effects for those who frequently experience digestive issues.

5. Prevention of adult diseases

Curcumin helps lower cholesterol levels and promotes smooth blood flow, which aids in preventing vascular diseases such as hypertension. Additionally, curcumin stimulates insulin secretion and improves overall pancreatic function, making it highly effective in managing diabetes.

6. Diet

Turmeric has excellent properties that stimulate bile secretion. As bile is secreted, it helps break down fats and inhibit fat accumulation, making it highly effective for dieting.

7. Prevention of Women's Diseases

Turmeric is said to be highly effective in preventing women's health issues. It has excellent properties for relieving blood stasis, which is when blood clumps together and gathers in one place, and therefore it helps prevent and improve menstrual pain and other female health problems.

8. Inflammation removal

Inflammation is a very important factor in our health, and curcumin has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect that helps repair tissues damaged by inflammation. Acute short-term inflammation can be beneficial, but when it becomes chronic and attacks body tissues, it becomes problematic. Almost all physical diseases originate from here. These include heart disease, cancer, metabolic syndrome, Alzheimer's, and various degenerative diseases.

In that regard, turmeric's curcumin is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent, and it is so potent that it can match the effects of some anti-inflammatory drugs without side effects.

9. Good for preventing heart disease.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide.

Curcumin plays an important role in preventing heart disease. Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties help lower LDL cholesterol levels, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. Regarding heart disease, the main benefit of curcumin is improving the function of the vascular endothelium. Problems in the vascular endothelium caused by cholesterol, inflammation, or blood clots are major causes of heart disease. Several studies suggest that curcumin reduces inflammation and oxidation, which helps maintain the health of the vascular endothelium.

In an actual experiment, 121 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass surgery before and after the operation were randomly assigned to take either a placebo or 4 grams of curcumin. The curcumin group experienced a 65% reduction in the risk of having a heart attack in the hospital.

10. Strengthening immunity

Our immune system is designed to protect the body from pathogens that can cause disease and infection. Turmeric has antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, making it one of the best foods to reduce the risk of illness while maintaining, protecting, and boosting immunity.

The benefits of turmeric are incredible~~ My mother, who is 80 years old, has issues with dementia, high blood pressure, cholesterol, and pre-diabetes, and she has been taking it, which seems to be very helpful..

I also suffered from rhinitis and received help...

Doesn't it seem like making cheonggukjang or doenjang? I heard you have to stir it every day in an electric rice cooker for 15 days until it becomes thick and sticky... It's a product that requires incredible dedication...

Please understand that since it is a product made and sold by a friend, I cannot disclose the formulation details~~

Through roughly this process, it is born~~~

 

I wonder if it's more effective thanks to my friend's sincerity~~~~
