Get Rid Of a Headache And Lower High Blood Pressure With This Simple Natural Remedy

If you have strong and unbearable headache or high blood pressure, try this natural remedy that will eliminate the pain in just 20 minutes.

You need some gauze or fine cotton fabric that you will later use as a compress. Fold the gauze in 8 layers, and the compress should match your forehead.

 

Dissolve 2 level teaspoons of salt in 8.5 oz/ 250 ml of hot water (60-70°C). Now you have 8% salt solution.

Headache is often caused by the food you eat, like diet soda, alcohol and others.

Wash your forehead, ears and neck with some warm water. Soak the gauzes in the salt solution, squeeze out the excess and apply the compresses on your forehead, neck and around the ears. It is better if you lay down while the compresses do their job.

You will soon feel some relieve, but leave the compresses for a while. Lay for another 20 minutes. After you remove the compresses, rinse your neck, ears and forehead.

High salt intake often causes swelling and high blood pressure, but salt compresses have the opposite effect. They affect your health condition through the skin and stimulate the elimination of excess fluids from the body. You can treat swollen feet in the similar way.

10 Symptoms of Gluten Intolerance

By Dr. Amy Myers

More than 55 diseases have been linked to gluten, the protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. It’s estimated that 99% of the people who have either gluten intolerance or celiac disease are never diagnosed.

It is also estimated that as much as 15% of the US population is gluten intolerant. Could you be one of them?

If you have any of the following symptoms it could be a sign that you have gluten intolerance:

1. Digestive issues such as gas, bloating, diarrhea and even constipation. I see the constipation particularly in children after eating gluten.
   

2. Keratosis Pilaris, (also known as ‘chicken skin’ on the back of your arms). This tends be as a result of a fatty acid deficiency and vitamin A deficiency secondary to fat-malabsorption caused by gluten damaging the gut.
   

3. Fatigue, brain fog or feeling tired after eating a meal that contains gluten.

4. Diagnosis of an autoimmune disease such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Ulcerative colitis, Lupus, Psoriasis, Scleroderma or Multiple sclerosis.
   

5. Neurologic symptoms such as dizziness or feeling of being off balance.
   

6. Hormone imbalances such as PMS, PCOS or unexplained infertility.
   

7. Migraine headaches.
   

8. Diagnosis of chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia. These diagnoses simply indicate your conventional doctor cannot pin point the cause of your fatigue or pain.
   

9. Inflammation, swelling or pain in your joints such as fingers, knees or hips.
   

10. Mood issues such as anxiety, depression, mood swings and ADD.
