Breathing Therapy

breath

The nose has a left and a right side; we use both to inhale and exhale.

Actually they are different; you would be able to feel the difference.
The right side represents the sun, left side represents the moon.
During a headache, try to close your right nose and use your left nose to breathe.
Breathing exercise

In about 5 mins, your headache will be gone? If you feel tired, just reverse, close your left nose and breathe through your right nose.
After a while, you will feel your mind is refreshed.

Right side belongs to ‘hot’, so it gets heated up easily, left side belongs to ‘cold’.
Most females breathe with their left noses, so they get “cooled off” faster.
Most of the guys breathe with their right noses, they get worked up.

Do you notice the moment we wake up, which side breathes faster? Left or right? ?
If left is faster, you will feel tired.
So, close your left nose and use your right nose for breathing, you will get refreshed quickly.

This can be taught to kids, but it is more effective when practiced by adults.
My friend used to have bad headaches and was always visiting the doctor.
There was this period when he suffered headache literally every night, unable to study.
He took painkillers, did not work.
He decided to try out the breathing therapy here: closed his right nose and breathed through his left nose.
In less than a week, his headaches were gone! He continued the exercise for one month.
This alternative natural therapy without medication is something that he has experienced.
So, why not give it a try?

Foot Care Through Exercise

Foot is the body’s part for standing and motions, which needs appropriate care and attention. There is one pair of foot in each human body that comprises of instep, sole, heel, ball and of course, five toes in each foot.


The foot has an ankle that serves a joint for the leg and foot to meet. Also, the ankle serves for dexterity and movement helping the body move forward. Ankles also coordinate with the leg and foot through flexion and extension. These functions are essential for walking, bending, running, and standing. Without the proper mechanism of these three parts of the body, activities such as swimming, climbing, driving, and exercising would be impossible.
Foot Exercise :
Although we do not usually recognize foot exercise to be a necessary part of our daily lives, it should be. Some reason out lack of time, while others reason lack of knowledge. Well, with these foot exercises, both problems can be solved. The following are simple yet effective foot exercises to relax your day:


Pumping Ankles: With rhythm, move your feet up and down to stretch the shin and calf muscles. You can implement this for three minutes each day.


Towel Curls: Using a small towel, place it on the floor then curl facing you just using your toes. Place with increasing resistance to maintain the weight on the towel’s end. Afterwards, relax for sometime and initiate the towel curls again. You can implement this exercise for five minutes a day.


Simply Walking: Proper walking is needed for good care of feet. Initially, if you are a postoperative patient, you can walk using walker or crutches. The surgeon will show you how to use walker or crutches and where to put the body’s weight. Stand comfortably and erectly while balancing the weight on walker or crutches. Move forward the walker or crutches in little distances. Then, place the affected foot forward for the foot to heal with small strokes on the ground.


Toe Squeeze and Drag: Here, you can use little corks (the ones found on wine bottles) and place it underneath your toes. Gently squeeze at the first trial and increase pressure afterwards. You can do this exercise for ten to twelve times daily. Next is to drag your toes by simple placing a rubber band on the toes that is enough for stretching. Stretch gently for few seconds. You can do this workout for ten to twelve times.


Foot exercises are essential for maintaining proper foot movement. These exercises should be use with caution at first try. Eventually, you can increase pressure while doing these exercises.
