Hi y'all,

Been trying all different ways of detoxing lately. Was feeling really bad today and thought meh, I'll give the cold shower treatment a try. Nothing else was really working for me. Especially in the headache department.

Got in the shower, set the handle to where the water would eventually warm up to the temp I like, and Jimminy Crickets! Got used to the cold and it started feeling refreshing. The water slowly warmed up and all was good.

I feel better than I have in long time. Foggy brain and headache gone, I'm energetic yet calm.

Thank you PeteZa for your advice!

Hi Yazz!-

www.naturalhealth365.com/cold-showers.html/

I am so happy to hear that you found something that helps you detox!!! YAY!! :)

I sauna and massage my body and try to massage lymph nodes. After the sauna, I shower in lukewarm water. Then, I turn the shower as cold as I can handle it for a couple of minutes.

It is quite the eye opener!!! :)
shocked

Best Wishes!

I am still a cool shower taker.

Hot showers made those bugs run rampant and I would feel dizzy and faint.

So very glad they help you.

Thank you so much for letting me know.

Happy healing.

Jingles, You should try it at least once. I can't believe the difference it made for me.

Last summer I was having horrible headaches and for a distraction my hubby and I went to an alpine lake and went swimming. I left that lake with no headache. I came home and experimented with the cold shower. Then I raved about it on here and next thing I know it is on the detox list for tired of lyme.

When my head was really bad I was standing under that cool shower sometimes 4 times a day.

We have to do whatever it takes.

PeteZa, Thanks for sharing your story. It's interesting that something so simple can have a wondrous effect!

I've been on Gabapentin for headaches a few years, but it isn't working well anymore. Going to be in the shower more often now.

Narcotics did not even touch my head pain. I had to find something.

I think some of mine was lymph not draining properly.

I use this massage method and it is easily done waiting in lines. lol However, she says to do 50 and boy did I react to that. I suggest starting out with 10 just to be gentler on yourself.

Hope this helps too.

I love this video. Found this long before my diagnosis and it always felt like i was pulling snot out of my tissues. I had forgotten about it so glad you posted it. I definitely second the recommendation.

Also please review the contraindications on her website that she advises to review prior to performing this.

Two years ago, I collapsed and got five staples in my head. My headache started a month after that. I told my GP about the pain and he ran a MRI to make sure nothing was harmed. Everything looked good so I was dxed gabapentin for damaged nerve pain.

When body is in balance, the drug works great. When my health goes south, I think the Gabapentin gets overwhelmed. I don't want to up my dose because the pain gives me an idea about what's going on in my body.

I've seen the massage video and do it once a day!

I have one more secret trick I would love to share with you. We need oxygen. It is our life force. And as people hanging out on earth, we do not get enough. We become shallow breathers. I love this technique but do not do it driving in a car for the first time. Work up to doing it more than once. I can now do 8 very easily and I love having a tool for anxiety any time, anywhere.

Learned a breathing technique many moons ago and can't find a video of it. It has the same basic breathing techniques of your video, but with mental imagery added. The breaths are gentler, slower, but just as deep. Don't do this while driving.

On the in breath, imagine a lighter than air down feather floating and gently draw it up your nose, through the sinuses and into your brain. It may take practice to get the feather moving up, but you can do it. Just get as far as you can in each inhale.

On the hold breath watch what the feather is doing.

On the expel breath, open your mouth and gently blow it out.

P.s., Glad we're talking about breathing exercises right now. I'm a Cancer moon-child. Usually a full moon makes me feel good. I woke up mad at the world, think only y'all can understand that stage of grief.

Practicing the breathing routines got me centered and calm.
