Migraine is one of the severe and painful headaches that sadly are suffered by many. One faces throbbing pain in one or both sides of the head and there are other several warning symptoms and signs of migraine with its help you can either prevent one or prepare for one. 

 

Throbbing pain in one or both sides of the head

Pulsating pain is a classic sign of migraines. The throbbing is often felt on one side of the head while it may also be felt on both sides of the head. The pain may be occasional or frequent and continuous. 

Aura

People with migraine headaches see auras like flickering lines, spots, and lights. You'll see some curvy lines that turn into different shapes and sizes. And, this may last anywhere between 5 minutes to 1 hour. 

Irritability, depression, or excitement

Mood swings are a major sign of a migraine. Sometimes one may feel all depressed and down for no reason, while one may feel all excited and happy without no reason. Researchers have found that moderate or severe depression may cause episodic migraines to become chronic. 

Lack of restful sleep

A person with migraines might have trouble falling asleep. They might wake up all tired, energyless or they might have to struggle sleeping at night. A lot of people suffer from insomnia because of migraines. This inability to sleep can be the start of a vicious cycle, as research suggests that lack of sleep can also trigger migraines. 

Cravings

Before the migraine attack, people tend to have strong cravings for certain foods. Common cravings are chocolate. 

Eye and neck pain

Migraine causes extreme eye pain which people often tend to have caused due to eye strain and get their eyes checked but it won't reduce the headache. During the early stages of a migraine, people tend to have a stiff neck and later they start having throbbing pain at the back of their neck. 

Numbness and tingling

Some people with migraines have a sensory aura. They may have a temporary lack of sensation or a pins-and-needles feeling, typically on one side of the body, moving from the fingertips through the arm and across the face. 

Light, noise, and smells trigger or worsen pain

Normally, after the migraine attack, the sufferer tends to seek out dark and quiet places as the bright and noisy places trigger the pain and worsen it. The same is with odors and smell.

Yoga asanas have several benefits for your health. From digestion to mental health, it helps relieve and cure every pain and problem. From basic to advanced, there are several yoga asanas which serve a various purpose. Like most of the pain and problems, yoga succors in easing the painful cramps during the period. 

Many women suffer from the pain of extreme period cramps and mood swings. Only a few don't face much trouble. Some even faint from the pain, imagine how painful it could be? There are some women who have to be warded in the hospital because of the pain and blood-loss. I can go on and on about this- but let's talk about the potential help one can get to free themselves from the dreadful pain. 

Medications are always on the top; but, too much medicine could make your situation even worse. So, try to minimize the tablets and chemical intakes, and prioritize exercises and yoga asanas that help to ease the pain. Yoga has proved to be really helpful. Many even recommended others to atleast do simple stretch and breathing exercises despite the hectic schedule that one may have, to ease the pain. Here we have brought the most effective yoga asanas to ease your period pain. 

Baddha konasana- Bound angle pose

Baddha Konasana is practiced by several people, especially the ones with problems of digestion. However, it is also suitable for easing the period cramps. It contracts your uterus, which is not pretty fun but can be of great help to ease the pain. Moreover, it stimulates your ovaries making it a reproductive health power pose. If you’re feeling fatigued, spend some time in bound angle—it’ll revive your energy too.

Steps- Sit on the floor with your legs stretched forward. Slowly pull your feet towards your pelvis and hold your feet pressing it towards the floor. Keep your back straight with the crown of your head reaching higher. And hold the position as you slowly breathe in and out for a few minutes.

Supta Baddha Konasana- Reclined Bound Angle

Supta Baddha Konasana is pretty similar to Baddha Konasana, you just have to lean back rather than forward. It is best to resolve period-induced anxiety and stress. Period pain and all the hassle may make you go crazy sometimes. But, with this yoga asana, you can relive all those pain and relax. As you lean on your back in this pose, the abdominal muscles relax which eases the period cramps.

Steps- Follow the steps of Baddha Konasana after laying on your back.

Balasana- Child's pose

The easiest and the most convenient yoga asana's on the list is Child's pose. This pose not only relaxes the tension from your muscles, back, and joints; but also has calming effects on your mind. With a few steps of easy and simple bends, you can attain peace and relaxation. Balasana is highly recommended for people who have extreme pain in their joints and muscles, and can barely do anything during the menstrual cycle.

Steps- Sit on your calves with your knees bend. Bow forward and face the ground. Spread your hands forward and breathe.

Upavistha Konasana- Wide-Angle Seated Forward Bend

Relieving your cramps is important, but so is having peace of mind free from any sort of distractions and distress. You can practice this asana even when you're not on your periods- when life gets all hard and stressful. Moreover, as you bend forward in the pose, your abdominal organs are stimulated- as a result, you get less painful cramps.

Steps- Sit straight on the ground with your legs spread side-by-side to the maximum extent. Place your hands on the floor in front of you and bend forwards.

Bharad Vaja- Reclining Twist

Like the rest of the yoga asana on the list, Bharad Vaja asana also has multiple benefits. Firstly, as you twist your hips and legs from side-by-side- your back and hips will get a great stretch much needed to cope with period pain. And secondly, your digestive organs also get stimulation from the free blood flow. 

Steps- lay flat on your back. Bend your knees and lift it up near your chest. Spread your arms against the ground at 180 degrees. And rotate your hip allowing your knees to touch the ground side-by-side.

WHY DOES ONE NEED LIFE INSURANCE?

The skin around your eyes is 10 times thinner than the skin on other parts of your face which is why the skin around your eyes is more prone to premature aging, pigmentations such as dark circles, wrinkles, skin thinning, and skin damage. You need to take extra care of the skin around your eyes which may not be fulfilled by the creams and products in your basic skincare routine. 

 

To recuperate the skin sensitiveness and fragileness, adding an eye cream to your skincare routine would be the best solution. Eye creams are developed considering the delicacy of the skin around the eyes and contain ingredients that moisturize the thinner skin. Some of the major benefits of an eye cream are:

Minimizing fine lines and wrinkles

As you get older, the skin around your eyes gets slow in the process of producing oil and collagen which results in sagginess of skin around the eyes and premature aging. Fine lines and wrinkles appear around your eyes making you look older than your age. Applying an eye cream that suits your skin can provide the necessary oil and moisture to the skin and slow the process of aging. Regular application of eye cream minimizes the fine lines and its risk. 

Protection from the sun

As said earlier, the skin around the eyes is quite thinner and are prone to skin damage more than skin in other parts of your body. The regular sunscreen which you apply on your face may not be sufficient enough to protect your skin under the eyes. Applying an eye cream with SPF 15 or above can protect your eyes from the aging UVA rays and damaging UVB rays. Moreover, it helps to prevent unnecessary pigmentation of the skin under the eyes such as dark circles.

Provides moisture

Every skin requires moisture or else they become all dry and flaky with rough patches in different areas. The skin around your eyes does not have many pores as other parts and cannot produce sufficient oil and moisture to keep your skin fresh and healthy. So, an eye cream with required moisture can help you're under-eye skin stay fresh and healthy making you look younger and active. 

As they say 'Prevention is better than cure', start young to prevent further damage to your eye skin. It's always best to prevent than to treat. Protect the skin under your eyes and take good care of them. Moisturize your under-eye skin often and take herbal treatments often. Don't use harsh chemical creams on your skin (on any part not just under the eyes). Apply moisturizing eye creams with higher SPF before bed and before going out. Wear huge sunglasses to prevent your skin from UVA and UVB rays as the sun can be the enemy of healthy skin.
