Hi All Got this from our member. Seems interesting. > 1.) If you've got an itch in your throat, scratch > your ear. > When the nerves in the ear get stimulated, > they create a reflex in the > throat that causes a muscle spasm, which cures the > itch. > 2.) Having trouble hearing someone at a party or on > the phone? > Use your right ear...it's better at picking up > rapid speech. > But, the left is better at picking up music > tones. > 3.) If you need to relieve yourself BADLY, but > you're not anywhere near a > bathroom, fantasize about RELATIONS. > That preoccupies your brain and distracts it. ( If > you fantasize about > illicit relations, it works even better !!!! ) > 4.) Next time the doctor's going to give you an > injection, COUGH a the > needle is going in. > The cough raises the level of pressure in your > spinal canal, which limits > the pain sensation as it tries to travel to your > brain. > 5.) Clear a stuffed nose or relieve sinus pressure > by pushing your tongue > against the roof of your mouth...then pressing a > finger between your > eyebrows. > Repeat that for 20 seconds...it causes the vomer > bone to rock, which loosens > your congestion and clears you up. > 6.) If you ate a big meal and you're feeling full > as you go to sleep, lay > on your left side. > That'll keep you from suffering from acid > reflux...it keeps your stomach > lower than your oesophagus, which will help keep > stomach acid from sliding > up your > throat. > 7.) You can stop a toothache by rubbing ice on the > back of your hand, on the > webbed area between your thumb and index finger. > The nerve pathways there stimulate a part of the > brain that blocks pain > signals from your mouth. > > 8.) If you get all messed up on liquor, and the room > starts spinning, put > your hand on something stable. > The reason: Alcohol dilutes the blood in the part of > your ear called the > copula, which regulates balance. > Putting your hand on something stable gives your > brain another reference > point, which will help make the world stop spinning. > 9.) Stop a nose bleed by putting some cotton on > your upper > gums...right behind the small dent below your > nose...and press against it > hard. > Most of the bleeding comes from the cartilage wall > that > divides the nose, so pressing there helps get it to > stop. > > 10.) Nervous ? Slow your heart rate down by blowing > on your thumb. > The vagus nerve controls your heart rate, and you > can calm it down by > breathing. > > 11.) Need to breathe underwater for a while ??? > Instead of taking a huge breath, HYPERVENTILATE > before you go under, by > taking a bunch of short breaths. > That'll trick your brain into thinking it has more > oxygen, and buy you about > 10 extra seconds. > 12.) You can prevent BRAIN FREEZE by pressing your > tongue flat against the > roof of your mouth, covering as much surface area as > possible. > Brain freeze happens because the nerves in the roof > of your mouth get > extremely cold, so your brain thinks your whole body > is cold. It compensates > by overheating. > ..which causes your head to hurt. By warming up the > roof of your mouth, > you'll chill your brain and feel better. > > 13.) If your hand falls asleep, rock your head > from side to side. > That'll wake your hand or arm up in less than a > minute. > Your hand falls asleep because of the nerves in your > neck compressing. ..so > loosening your neck is the cure. > If your foot falls asleep, that's governed by nerves > lower in the body, so > you need to stand up and walk around. > > 14.) Finally, this one's totally USELESS, but a > nice trick. > Have someone stick their arm out to the side, > straight, palm down. Press > down on his wrist with two fingers. > He'll resist, and his arm will stay horizontal. > Then, have him put his foot on a surface that's half > an inch off the ground, > like a stack of magazines, and do the trick again. > Because his spine > position > is thrown off, his arm will fall right to his side, > no matter how much he > tries to resist. > 15.) Got the hiccups? Press thumb and second finger > over your eyebrows > until the hiccups are over - usually shortly. > > 16.) Hiccups can also be stopped by bending over and > drinking water from the > opposite side of the glass..... Tried and > tested....it really works. > Would it not be just perfect if there was also a way > that could make one > remember all these !!!
