It may not be able to take it away completely...but there are scientific and anecdotal reasons of how and why it can help decrease it.
I won’t go into those here, but know that the oxygen flow helps not just the cells in your brain and body, but it also helps disrupt whatever thoughts you are having that could be making your pain worse.
This week, if you find yourself having a headache after doing deep work, reading a hard textbook/article, or anything else that may be bringing on some stress, pause from it.
Take 5 minutes to do deep breathing. There are many variations, but to start, you can inhale through the nose for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds and exhale for 4 through the mouth.
Notice how at the end of the 5 minutes, that tension headache may decrease.
It’s so simple, yet it is often the simple things we dismiss in our healing.
Drop a 🌬 if this is something you want to do more of this week!
