Riding it out...


As I am on the CLEAN diet and am having a hard time and spent the first three days with a monstrous headache I like to give some ideas on how to deal with it.
 Dr Junger is advising "to ride it out".   Easier said than done...
He is right , it will leave by itself. 


I will share some of my natural remedies I have learned through the years of Macrobiotic living.

1. Green leaves:  Salad can be used. They are the best when collected fresh and should be kept in the refrigerator for a moment. The cool leaves are simply placed on the forehead. Lay down and relax in a dark room.

2. Tofu : pul out a cold tofu package from the fridge and mash it up in a bowl with a fork. Place it in a handkerchief and make a roll about 6 cm wide and 20 cm long.Keep it on the forehead and/or at the back of the neck. If it turns warm. Move it to the refrigerator for a moment to cool down. Repeat again until the headache is left. 

3. Fresh grass: if you have a lawn or a cat box with green grass. Make a cut , place it in a handkerchief and keep it on the forehead.

Stay quiet in a fresh, cool room. Often the warmth can make a headache worse. 
Lay down and ride it out.......

Worth a try next time,
Gunn
