Home remedies · Sleep, nerves & head
No home remedy here replaces treatment, and none is talked down. What has done good for generations does good — even if no one ever measured it. Where something is well studied, it says so. Where it is only experience, it says that too.
Breathe in for four seconds, out for six to eight, for five minutes — sitting or lying.
A long out-breath activates the calming part of the nervous system; pulse and tension fall measurably.
It interrupts tension, it does not resolve a cause.
No restriction. If you feel dizzy, simply breathe shorter and shallower.
Get seen at once: the sudden, worst headache of your life, headache with fever and a stiff neck, with weakness, speech or vision trouble. Likewise dizziness with double vision or an unsteady gait. Sleeplessness over weeks with loss of drive is something to discuss, not to endure.
