Little tricks can cure serious illnesses. The American magazine Men's Health recently published the "9 health tips" listed by medical experts, providing immediate guidance on annoying problems in life.
1. Rub your ears to treat itching in your throat.
Itching somewhere on the body can be solved by scratching and scratching. What to do with an itchy throat? Dr. Scott Schaaff, an American neurology expert, said that stimulating the ear nerve can make the throat muscle reflex. So when you have an itchy throat, rub your ears.
2. "Tongue against the upper jaw, press one finger between the eyebrows" to treat nasal congestion.
Dr. Distfano, a professor at the School of Orthopedics at Michigan State University in the United States, said that he uses his tongue to press against the upper jaw and then uses one finger to press between the eyebrows. This action will cause the nasal vomer to move back and forth, relieving nasal congestion. After 20 seconds, the nose will ventilate.
3. Lie on the left side to prevent gastric acid reflux.
Professor Stapoli, a gastroenterologist in New York, said that research has shown that lying on the left side can prevent acid reflux in patients with stomach problems. When lying on the right side, the stomach is higher than the esophagus, and the probability of reflux is higher.
4. Rub the tiger's mouth with ice to relieve toothache.
A Canadian study found that rubbing a tiger's mouth with ice can greatly reduce toothache. The principle is that neural activity in the tiger mouth area can stimulate the pain area of the brain and block pain signals in the face and hands.
5. Place your left foot on the ground and exhale to protect your liver.
Most people have little understanding of the correct breathing patterns during running. American experts point out that exhaling when the left foot lands can protect the liver. If you exhale when your right foot lands, it will increase liver pressure and pull on the diaphragm, which can easily lead to lateral abdominal pain.
6. Press the upper jaw with one finger to stop nasal bleeding.
When bleeding from the nose, a simpler and more effective method of stopping bleeding than "cold water tapping on the forehead" is to use a cotton ball with one finger to forcefully press on the sunken area of the oral cavity and upper jaw. Dr. Dismales, an ear, nose, and throat expert at Durban Hospital in South Africa, said that most nosebleeds are located in the anterior segment of the diaphragm, so pressing on the upper jaw of the mouth can quickly stop the bleeding.
7. Blow your thumb to relieve tension.
Dr. Ben Abo, an expert in emergency medicine at the University of Pittsburgh in the United States, stated that the sympathetic nervous system that controls heart rate can be regulated through breathing. Blowing the thumb can calm the heart rate and eliminate tension.
8. Shake your head to eliminate numbness in your arms.
Long sitting or improper posture can lead to arm numbness. Dr. Distefano stated that this is greatly related to cervical nerve compression. Shaking the head from side to side can eliminate neck muscle pressure and immediately eliminate numbness.
9. sexual fantasy, calm down.
What should I do if I really want to pee but can't find a restroom? Dr. Larry Lipshultz, director of the Department of Male Reproductive Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, said that sexual fantasy can help distract the brain and temporarily relieve internal anxiety.
