A COMMON OCCURRENCE: This is strange and hardly discussed issue. I realized the importance of this when I discussed this with a few individuals a few years ago, and it turned out that all of them had faced this problem.
When a person goes to sleep on the side, with weight on one of the arms. The blood circulation can be affected, especially if people have blood vessels closer to the skin. They wake up at odd times with absolutely no feeling in the arm, and it takes a few minutes to restore the feeling in the arm. The first time it happened to me, I thought that I got some sort of paralysis in the arm as there was no feeling for a short time. There are a lot of people facing this problem but it is very easy to fix.
MY OBSERVATION AND REACTION: We are taught that exercise in the morning is better for health - but this is not so for this problem. There is a very easy remedy for this and it works like a miracle.
Just before going to bed to sleep, swing the arms clockwise and then swing them in the anti-clockwise direction, in a circular motion, for 10 repetitions in each direction. The next step is 5 repetitions of twisting arms in both directions. In most cases, the problem is solved the very first day, but it could take a couple or so days. However, once this problem is corrected, the exercise can be done once a week and slowly can be done once a month and then every once in a while.
Try it, you will be amazed at the results.

Headaches
MY HEADACHES ARE A HISTORY NOW: Headaches can be the result of many things but most headaches are easily cured using the following couple of things:
Firstly, headaches can be caused by not properly brushing teeth, therefore brush your teeth and wait about 5 to 10 minutes to notice the difference. When the improvement is not that great then the following method works like magic:
MASSAGE WORKED FOR ME: Massage your forehead using your knuckles. A few seconds of massage will enhance the sensitive areas on the forehead - continue massaging these sensitive areas using firm knuckle pressure for about 30 seconds to a minute. Return to this massage once again after about 5 minutes, if there is slight improvement the first time. I find that my arms used to get tired in the beginning, therefore I started using a pen with a rounded back. This was very easy on my arms and shoulder blades.
WATCH FOR STIFFNESS IN THE BACK OF THE NECK: Sometimes back of the neck becomes stiff - when this happens, take some rest as exercising neck may make it worse. At least my neck became worse each time I tried exercising it when stiff. Regular massage on the back of the neck and some light neck exercises will ensure that the stiff neck is kept at bay. Application of the above 2 procedures will likely cure majority of common headache problems, and the neck massage will markedly improve stiff neck.

High Blood Pressure
THE BEGINNING: A few weeks ago, I went for a complete medical check-up and learned that I have fairly high blood pressure.
MY SELF-TEST: I borrowed a blood pressure machine and started experimenting with different techniques to lower blood pressure. In a weeks time, my blood pressure came down to a slightly higher than normal but I wanted to bring it to normal, therefore started experimenting with various methods.
MY EXPERIMENTS: Within a couple of days of experimenting, I was able to bring my BP down to normal by doing some quick meditations and relaxation routines. Then finally it took me about 2 minutes to bring it down to normal. Then I was able to figure out that if I think in a certain way, the BP remains normal and was not affected much. However, these meditations may be harder for people new to meditation, but there are other easier methods to accomplish just that. It does help to meditate on a paragraph from a book, a mantra like WAHEGURU, RAAM or AUM. The idea is to find ONE word mantra and use that for meditation. Meditation can be done on a picture or a sign. Buddhist people meditate on breathing - just be aware of in and out breathing by observing it.
I TRIED THE FOLLOWING HERBAL REMEDY ALSO: I took aged garlic capsules to help bring high blood pressure to normal, but it did take about 3 weeks to notice some initial improvement.
BLOOD PRESSURE OF A NORMAL PERSON: and my thoughts: A normal person is able to handle some stress and I feel it is essential. it is no different than the tension on the guitar strings to make it sound better. I feel that a person should be able to handle some stress. A person with normal blood pressure can run faster, lift weights, twist his body in many directions and he does not have to worry about getting a heart attack or some other serious condition. A person with high blood pressure is told to slow down, do easy exercises, some twisting exercises can be bad for him, meditate, do things that help release stress, and perhaps many other things. In a way, the person is never going to do the things that a person with normal blood pressure can do. He is told to take it easy and relax. The unhealthy person has to remain on a stress watch so that his stress level does not affect his blood pressure.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO CHECK WITH A DOCTOR BEFORE STARTING ANY EXPERIMENTS: These are serious issues that may require the individual's attention, for instance the person may be over weight, he may have high blood cholesterol and he may not have much flexibility. Therefore, the person has to correct some of the other imbalances alongside of lowering high blood pressure. As soon as some flexibility is noticed in the body, the cholesterol level is within normal range, and the blood pressure is also within the limits - this would be a time to start doing some of the things that the normal person is able to do, but a few minutes every now and then for the first couple of months, followed by relaxation exercises and meditations. The time frame after 2 months can be increased to a few more minutes.
This is very important to follow if a person wants to become normal again. Anyway I am not recommending it, but this is exactly what I have followed to correct my blood pressure issues. I strongly recommend checking with the family physician if someone wants to try this system of thought. There are many variables like cholesterol, flexibility, pulse and heart beat, which are very important to keep under control along with blood pressure, therefore, it is very important to check with the physician and go for regular tests.

Allergies
MY ALLERGIES: There are numerous varieties of allergies - some relate to foods, some to dust and weather changes, some to cold temperatures and some to stress of eyesight.
IT FELT LIKE HAY FEVER: I had allergies that caused nose drips and sneezing each time I entered a store carrying papers and/or clothes. My sinuses would start acting and eyeballs would become very dry, hard and painful.
CORRECTING ONE IMBALANCE MAY CORRECT ADDITIONAL IMBALANCES: Most of my allergy problems were gone for good once I started to perform some simple eye strengthening and improvement exercises. My eyes no longer get dry , hard and painful and they produce natural moisture.
