TIPS TO GET RID OF A HEADACHE

I often get headaches and feel sick without knowing the reason. Few times after joining field trip with my students, I threw up after we arrived at school. For sure, it’s not because I’m sick riding on a bus (mabuk darat).

As a Javanese, my mom always tells me, ”dititeni (diperhatikan) apa yang bikin kamu suka pusing” (translation: notice what cause your headache).

DO NOT WASH HAIR!
(If I don’t have enough time to dry it before I cover my hair with something-usually my helmet)

Yesterday I received a funny email from a friend in my mailing list. The email was about Therapy by Nostril (Terapi Via Lubang Hidung). Here are the tips:

When you have a headache, close your right nostril, and use your left nostril to breath for about 5 minutes. The headache will be gone.

If you feel too tired, do it the opposite way. Close your left nostril and breathe through Your right nostril. After a while, you will feel fresh again. Because the right side belongs to heat, it gets hot easily. The left side gets cold easily.

Believe it or not, I closed my right nostril and I was able to breathe freely, maybe because all the liquid inside the nostril pushed outside after I opened it. Though, my headache was not gone, perhaps because I never had the headache when I tried the exercise.

Just Try!
