Tension, lack of exercise and stress are often the cause of headaches.
Pain is a common and real symptom that can range from physical ailments such as headaches, muscle aches or nausea to emotional pain. Pain can indicate that something is wrong with the body or emotions. According to research, there is a connection between frequent pain experiences and the development of negative thoughts about oneself, one's own life and the world around oneself.
Caution: For all chronic headaches, it is essential to consult a doctor to rule out underlying conditions such as depression, allergies or hormonal imbalances.
Note: Pain is a warning signal, we interpret it as a signal to reflect. It's the only way your body, your soul, tells you something is wrong with you, your environment, and or the people around you.
What type of headache is it?
If you have a headache, it's important to determine what type of headache it is. It could be tension headaches, migraines, or cluster headaches. Each type of headache has its own symptoms and pain relief methods that can help relieve the pain. That's what our Western medicine says.
The fact is, eighty percent of headaches get better by focusing on ourselves.
Interesting:
Many participants in our "ReNew your Body" subscription report a significant improvement in their headaches after just one week, regardless of the type of headache. Here you can find the program!
Relaxation often helps with tension headaches, logically, right?
Tension headache is the most common form of pain. It is a deep, aching, throbbing sensation in the head and neck that can be caused by stress, anxiety or muscle tension. People who suffer from tension headaches often feel that their head is exploding or their neck is breaking due to the pressure. This type of headache is often accompanied by nausea and dizziness. After the pain, the first thought is "pill".
Tips that help immediately:
There are many simple ways to relieve headaches or even get rid of them: Drink plenty of water, especially in winter or in great heat we often forget to drink, we should do so plenty. There is a direct connection between lack of water and headaches. A walk in the forest or along the river brings fresh air and relaxation into our circulation.
The good news is that if tension is causing the pain, relaxation often helps you feel better. Here you will find exercises that you can request now and help directly,
The cluster headache
Cluster headaches are headaches that occur in groups. The pain is so severe that it can lead to confusion, lightheadedness, and dizziness. These headaches often last for three to four days and cannot be controlled by painkillers or treatments. Cluster headaches are thought to be at least partly hereditary (a mutation in the HNF1B gene). The only known treatment for these headaches is prevention with prophylactic medications and lifestyle changes.
Our experience: you have to do something!
So much for Western medicine, i.e. you have to do something!

What you should definitely do:
Our success strategy based on fifteen years of experience:
1. Ask yourself spontaneously: what could be the cause? What three answers come up spontaneously?
2. When the pain occurs, now analyze the last 24 – 72 hours.
All events emotional or stressful – What did you eat during this time? – Were there any new products that you used?
3. To review your own life, or to describe it to a familiar person.
You won't believe what we've already heard and the affected person found his life quite normal. We almost regularly noticed a very high level of stress, often combined with emotional pain.
Headaches that seem to come from the neck
The headache seems to come from the neck. This is because the sensation actually comes from the neck and upper back, where you wouldn't expect it. The first step to relieving this type of pain is to treat it, or rather, relax and activate your spine. You can achieve this with yoga, Qi Gong or Tai Chi. We have some special guided video exercises for this in our Dao Yoga, which you can request here.
Triggers, triggers for headaches
All headaches can all be relieved or eliminated to some extent by avoiding the triggers. Sounds logical, right? The most common triggers are:
– Tension in the neck and shoulders caused by poor posture for hours at work
– too little movement of the spine in the office, often especially the cervical spine
– Stress, alcohol, smoking, sugary diet or too much salt intake
In general, it is important to keep too much or too little in balance.
You can relieve tension in your neck and shoulders with our Dao Yoga exercises. Just six to eight minutes can directly relieve your pain. Request now and try it.
This is how you can actively prevent
Regular sports or exercises from yoga, Qi Gong or Tai Chi that relax the back, neck, joints and the whole body. This not only prevents, but improves your life. Just eight to fifteen minutes will change your life.
This sounds very general at first, the most important thing when choosing the exercise is not only that it helps. It should be fun, interesting to you. Otherwise, you'll do the exercise a few times and that's it. You come back to the old problem, that happens to many people.
That's why we advise a holistic exercise, not just the "one exercise" for a problem. Many of our subscribers have confirmed this with their success. Here you can find all the information about the subscription content.
When headache becomes a migraine, checkmate or what?
It is a type of headache that affects the nerves in the head and causes pain. It is an episodic condition, meaning it comes and goes seemingly unpredictably, with some people suffering from migraines several times a week. Migraines can also be described as a throbbing sensation that usually lasts between 4 hours and 3 days.
You can treat yourself with painkillers to get relief quickly, which is often not possible quickly, especially with migraines. If these measures are not enough to alleviate your suffering, be sure to consult a doctor to rule out underlying conditions such as depression, allergies, or hormonal imbalances.
Migraine also provides clues.
But migraines can also tell you about what is annoying:
I have flashes in my eyes and I can't see anything anymore – I don't want to see anything anymore ... or
Now the only thing that helps is darkness and peace – everything is too much for me, I don't want to see or hear anything anymore ..., or
I feel nauseous, I have to break – I can't swallow anything anymore, accept anything ...
We see migraines as a cry for help from your system. Something is completely wrong, so your body reacts with pain, the only way to tell you directly: "Help".
What you should definitely do:
In our fifteen years of experience, we always advise with success:
1. Ask yourself spontaneously: what could be the cause?
2. If the migraine occurs, analyze the last 24 – 72 hours.
Any events emotional or stressful What was eaten – Were there any new products that you used?
3. Review your own life, or describe it to a familiar person.
You won't believe what we've already heard and the affected person found his life quite normal. However, we noticed a very high level of stress, often associated with emotional pain.
Flowing movements such as Qi Gong or Tai Chi help.
Many people who suffer from chronic pain have found Qi Gong or Tai Chi to be a helpful way to manage their pain. You can find countless videos about it on Youtube.
Dao Yoga helps in a targeted and holistic way, as many have confirmed.
If you want to be targeted, then Dao Yoga is something for you. We have integrated exercises from Qi Gong, Tai Chi and Yoga into our Dao Yoga, which consciously promote slow movements and deep breathing. Many participants report a feeling like a walk along the river or in the forest after the exercises and feel regenerated and calmed.
Participants often ask what now, Qi Gong or Tai Chi?
Qi Gong are simple movements to learn, while Tai Chi is a fixed sequence of movements. A little more complex to learn, but it occupies the "multi-thinkers" who feel taken along by it. This type of exercise is considered an excellent form of recovery therapy because it lowers stress levels and improves mood. At the same time, it provides physical benefits such as strengthening the cardiovascular system, improving flexibility and range of motion, and reducing excess weight.
