Written by Jaideep Nagrath.

A headache is a pain or discomfort anywhere in the region of the head or neck and is an extremely common symptom. Headache can also be classified as a pain in the head with the pain being above the eyes or the ears, behind the head (occipital), or in the back of the upper neck. It can be a symptom of a number of different conditions of the head, brain and neck. The brain tissue itself is not sensitive to pain because it lacks pain receptors, rather, the pain is caused by disturbance of the pain-sensitive structures around the brain.

Breathing

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. You will feel the difference right away and in about 5 mins, your headache will be gone. (it works wonders).

If you feel tired, just reverse, close your left nose and breathe through your right nose. After a while, you will feel your mind become more refreshed.

Right side belongs to 'hot', so it gets heated up easily.
Left side belongs to 'cold', so it cools you down easily.
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.
Did you notice the moment we wake up, which side breathes faster?
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 properly by adults before passing it on the kids.
