Say you had a stressful day at
work, didn't get enough sleep the night before and as a
result you've got a bad headache. What do you do? It's
easy! You take good old Tylenol or other over-the-counter
medicine. And it helps! No more headache, the world is
bright again.
The next day you wake up
with the headache again. This time your headache is
tolerable but dull and constant. It's a good thing you
bought that medicine yesterday. Better take it before
headache gets more painful. If you take two pills instead
of one it might even work faster. Sounds like a logical
thing to do, right?
Wrong. All you did is
blocked pain receptors that are involved in transmitting
signals between brain cells. That means the headache is
still there, your brain just stopped getting signals about
it. Instead of treating the cause you are treating the
symptoms.
In addition wildly known
over-the-counter medicine like Tylenol and Advil can be
really harmful if misused. I was shocked to find out that
only 16% of people read the label completely. Forty four
percent of people (and that's hundreds of millions) read
the label and knowingly exceed the recommended dose. Are
you one of those people?
If you experience headache
more than two times a day, you've got a problem. Popping
painkillers like M&M's may only lead to rebound
headaches. When you take the same medicine for the long
period of time your body becomes addicted to it. What
happens when medicine wears off? You get an even stronger
headache, which forces you to take more medicine...and
more medicine...and more medicine...It's a vicious circle.
I’m not trying to tell
you never to use painkillers again. They can be really
helpful sometimes, but they should not become a part of
your daily ration. One more thing. ALWAYS read a label and
pay close attention. Some over-the counter medicine even
if prescribed for different things can contain the same
active ingredients simultaneously. In that case you will
exceed maximum daily dose and do your body more harm than
good.
For example, Tylenol used
for reducing headaches contains acetaminophen. So does
Maximum Strength TheraFlu, used for fighting cold. If you
combine those two medicines, you will most likely overdose
acetaminophen. Combined with bad diet, irregular eating
and drinking alcohol it will gradually destroy your liver.
The worst thing is that signs of liver failure on the
early stage are very similar to the common flu. Not
knowing that most people increase doses of flu medicine,
killing their liver completely. And it all starts with
something as little as a tension headache and weakened
immune system.
So if you are suffering
already from rebound headaches the only thing you can do
is to stop taking any painkillers at all. Replace them
with natural remedies.
Do you know that natural
solutions often work faster and are more effective than
painkillers?
There are so many ways to
choose from! Hydrotherapy, aromatherapy, acupressure,
massage, yoga and so on. Most of these methods people have
been using for centuries. If they worked for millions of
people before, they are guaranteed to work for you. Treat
your headache before it even starts and you will save tons
of money on the painkillers.
