New technology of acupuncture help to release a headache and migraine
Extensive study about headaches.
Over 1,000 acupuncture clinics had been incorporated into a headache and migraine research, which was ordered by German healthcare companies. They compared the treatment results of people who received arbitrarily determined acupuncture treatments ; medication chosen by patients themselves; and people who did not receive at all acupuncture treatments. Headache and migraine was discovered 15,056 % out of all questioned.
The research showed that patients after three months treatment (15 acupuncture sessions) suffered significantly less under headaches than before the treatment and also the quality of life arose significantly after the treatment period. The results of headache and migraine were similar. (11th Annual Symposium on Complementary Health Care, 2004)

Chinese medicine recommends on a symptoms of flu to drink ginger tee
The symptoms of the flu in Chinese medicine are often shivers pl, also averse to cold, hands and feet are feeling cold. In addition to that, there also can be sore throat, temperature and very often the bends. The human´s urine is light, excrement fluid and evilly digested and the tongue in covered with white calculus. There attend to be also a heavy cough and runny nose. The symptoms caused by the flu are recommended to drink a ginger tea. Drinking ginger tea helps to boost the inside fire.
Making ginger tea:
Take a 20-30 gram of fresh ginger, wash it properly and mince it without peeling. Add about 10 gram of unrefined brown sugar and let the compound to boil slowly about 5 minutes. After that filter it and drink it when it is hot. The virtue of drinking ginger tea makes you sweat. After drinking it is good to bundle up yourself.

Natural resources against migraine.
People who suffer from chronic headaches are consuming medicines years and years, therefore during the migraine you have to consider your every-day menu and to try some alternative medication method.
Migraine is a chronic painful illness, where the symptoms are intermittent strong headaches, nauseousness, vomiting, sensitiveness to pain and noise.
Migraine is treated with special drugs but they have many side effects. There are also some other drugs, which are slightly older they can cause serious side effects. In addition to that using painkillers and strong drugs regularly (more than 2-3 times in a week), might cause more harm than benefit.
Using painkillers too often (more than 10-12 days in a month) can cause a headache, which is result of the drugs. Painkillers which are often used for headaches mitigate the pain, but the results might be the inside pain control system interference. Drugs for chronic headaches mitigate the pain for a while, but do not give long-term result and the headaches keep coming around. In addition to that painkillers do have many side effects.
Cutting down the stress
Every person has different individual reasons for migraine – one person gets a bad reaction of body temperature changes and so on. However there are some common reasons, which might cause the migraine: unsleeping, not eating properly, tone, and even spends too much time working with computer and also electric light.
To get help for chronic headaches you should combine the acupuncture and new alternative medication method with PureRelief acuchips. Also physiotherapy and general bodily activism helps to mitigate headaches. In order to mitigate headaches you should also balance your reasons of stress.
Relaxing self-massage
´´In case of headache I recommend instead of painkillers a self-massage, ´´says therapist Galina Ader. From domestic resources the best is a warmed up (in microwave oven) bag full of oats, and the warm bag should be put on the painful spot. ´´If you do not have an oat bag, the other choices is an empty plastic bottle full of hot water, and place it on your nape. Before going to bed it is good to drink relaxing tea which is sweetened with honey and also to do a little acupuncture massage.´´ she adds.
There are many different massage ways to heal migraine: classical, sport and also acupuncture massage. ´´Before the massage session many people suffer from chronical headaches. After some time the pain is gone. They took many sessions during the year (4-6 times successively), they got scruff and neck massage. In some cases on massage is enough to get rid of the pain, but in other cases it can take year or two to get rid of the headaches. ´´ affirms massager Liidia Valdma.
Prince Charles relied on Chinese medicine
Chinese medicine started to spread from the 16th century in England. Chinese medicine has won a trust of the royal family. Queen Elizabeth II takes Chinese herb perpetrates along to her trips.
Prince Charles emphasised in his speech (at the end of 2000) that the necessity to increase the governmental financing for the research of alternative medicine (News from The Journal of Chinese Medicine February 2001).
About one third out of UK families’ one adult is suffering from back pain, and at least two adult from the quarter are suffering from back pain. UK spends every year about £ 6, 3 thousand million to treat back pain and sciatica. These particulars were submitted in the conference arranged by Prince of Wales´s Foundation, where the main topic was alternative medicine as a treatment. During the conferenced they called first level medicine workers up to use more alternative medicine when the pain occurs, especially when normal treatment do not give results, or they do have strong side-effects and when the patients agrees. In 2001 49% of the first level medical practices offered alternative medicine, it is 9% more than in year 1995 (BMJ 2003; 327:1368).
To compare with US, according the research arranged by Duke University Medical Centre, US spend over $ 90 thousand million to treat back pain, in 1998, from which $ 26 thousand million was the treatment cost. This year 25, 9 million Americans said that they are suffering from back pain. From $ 90 thousand million 1% is US GDP (News from The Journal of Chinese Medicine February 2004).
Prince Charles asked in the speech of WHO to start using more alternative medicine, when treating chronical and strong diseases, like as chiropractic, acupuncture and herbs. Also he was trying to convince them not to use that much normal medicine which is based on drugs and he emphasised pay more attention to diet and healthy lifestyle, necessity to reduce environmental pollutedness and using less toxic chemicals at home and in agriculture.
In his previous speech in Royal Medical association Prince Charles said: ´´Human´s body is very often technically divided into separate pieces and during the treatment human is not handled as consistent… We need to impose the best contemporary science and technology, but the price cannot be best what we have to offer, alternative Chinese medicine.
