How do you overcome from your headache which often occurs during your menstruation?
My wife has menstrual headache when she start to bleed each month. The intense headache does not go away for a couple of day. It also keep her from sleeping.When I feel her head it is warm to my touch, so one day I decided to use rubbing alcohol 70 % isopropyl to soke her head with it. The theory goes that evaporation of the alcohol will cool her head out. As the alcohol evaporates, it cools her head down. She tells me effect brings relieve to her headache. She tells me that the headache goes away very quickly. You can count down from 20 and the pain just go away. This alows her to sleep better at night time. Before she has tried all sort of pain medication over the counter such as motrim and tylenol, but nothing works for her. This alcohol treatment is what we use now. The only thing is that alcohol will make her hair dry.Read more: What_can_you_do_for_a_headache_during_menstrual_cycle
What is used to treat sprains?
Remember ices!Immobilize Immobilization prevents further injury to the affected area, usually the joints, and minimizes pain.CompressCompress means applying a cold compress, when the injury is new.

This is only first aid. If pain persists, go visit your doctor, he could give ou some pain killers or some mefenamic acid, to stop or minimize the swelling.Another answerOk, this is right out of Edgar cayce's "encyclopedia of healing" and it's worked really well for me.1) Apple Cider Vinegar Packs: 4 cups apple cider vinegar in big bowl with a salt shaker amount of salt, mix with spoon, best left cold. Towel that can double up on the injury (soak), ring out but leave good and damp. I wrap plastic (seran) wrap around the towel 5 or 6 times to keep from leaking everywhere. Aleviates pain almost immediately helps heal the muscles, ligaments. Leave on for an hour, once to twice a day. Doesn't smell good but will definitely help!2) Take an iron and calcium vitamin once a day, eat fruits and vegies, NO Meat.3) Get a good back massage, to stimulate healing.If it is your leg, stay off it as much as possible.
