Doesn’t it some times feel like you have 100 different physical ailments and not a clue in the world how to fix them all without going to the doctor’s office with a long list of random symptoms and complaints?
Half the time we blow off these little ailments since they aren’t causing enough serious harm to worry about. We don’t have time to stop and figure out why our toes itch at night or why your acid indigestion flares up on the weekdays.
It’s just too much trouble to add figuring out our body’s mysteries to our already long and tiring days. Here are a few common ailments of regular people who just don’t have time to worry with doctors or individual research.
1. Teeth Grinding
Some of us grind our teeth so much at night that it actually causes facial swelling and severe headaches. It’s what we can’t see that it’s hurting the most. Our teeth aren’t made to be clenched for minutes or hours at a time. Over time this teeth grinding can cause permanent damage and can wear your teeth down unnaturally causing sensitivity and painful jaw popping. Try taking a warm shower before bed and doing something relaxing, like reading. While you’re laying there counting sheep or whatever it is you do, visualize each section of your body relaxing. Start with your toes and work your way up to your face. Once you feel totally relaxed, it should help with your clenched jaw problems. If all else fails, pick up a mouth guard at your local drug store.
2. Twitching, Shakiness and Jitters
If you find yourself constantly moving, tapping, shaking just flat out twitching, try to relax.
Make a conscious effort to just relax. I find that while at work, I shake my leg endlessly. Others click their pens or tap their fingers. It’s annoying to everyone around you and keeps your body tense. Slow down on sugar and caffeine consumption after lunch. Try to take sugar out of your diet and you’ll feel much of the jitters fade away. Most of this constant need to move is anxiety. Try taking a calmer approach to your daily activities. Don’t hurry yourself and you will find there’s no need to twitch.
3. Itchy Head
You scratch your head all the time and your friends are beginning to wonder if you have lice or some other type of parasites. You can’t control it, and have to scratch all the time. It might be especially bad if you sweat and for all you can tell, you don’t have dandruff. You are probably over heating your scalp when blow drying your hair or you may simply be allergic to your shampoo or conditioner. Try giving your scalp a rest and letting your hair dry naturally. Also, if sweating makes the itch worse, chances are this can all be cured by simply paying attention to the active ingredients in your hair products. Go as natural as possible and make sure to rinse your hair with cool water.
