Acupuncture - One Of The Best Headache Cures
If you suffer from headaches, chronic or now and then
, you know how it affects you. Acupressure and it's more user friendly version, the acupressure mat, is a completely natural, drug free headache treatment.
Having headache (including migraine) often leads to taking days off sick and generally having a lower quality of life, more visits to a doctor and taking medication more often.
There is scientific evidence to claim that acupuncture helps to make headaches less frequent and less severe. Even more interesting is the fact that the effects of a course of treatment involving up to 12 visits to an acupuncturist, seem to still be there a year after the treatment.
In other words, the results are long lasting!
So acupuncture is an effective and safe alternative to conventional drugs (aspirin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or naproxen, used individually or in combination.), that often have quite severe and possibly dangerous side effects.
Some of the unwanted effects include tiredness, stomach problems, constipation, a feeling of nausea and problems breathing. Acupuncture is much safer, it has none of these unwanted side effects.
So how does acupuncture work?
The needles are normally placed where lines of energy are thought to flow - "Qi" - that flows through our bodies.
According to the ancient theories illness results when the energy flow is disrupted for some reason. Western medicine cannot quite explain how it works, but it is generally agreed that it does work.
Over the last few years an interesting alternative to traditional acupuncture has emerged , researched and developed in Russia and the US, and made into a practical and useful home treatment aid, particularly in Sweden.
This is the "acupressure mat", also known as the "Hedgehog Mat". This version of the ancient Indian "spike mat" or "fakir mat" consists of thousands of small pressure points, packaged into a flexible and soft cotton fabric.
The idea is that when you lie down on it there are so many points that some will inevitably hit the right acupuncture spot and trigger your immune system into action, thus relieving headaches and migraines.
It will also increase blood flow and make your muscles relax. Since it requires no physical effort and no training, it is extremely easy to use and can be used everywhere and at any time, by anyone.
It is used for a variety of common ailments, for example muscle pain and insomnia.
