Womb Healing Masterpost
 Please share far and wide.
With the increase of hormonal imbalance as a result of the collective being fed constant cycles of stress through the media, I’ve felt called to organize info that’s been useful to me on healing the womb and healing hormonal imbalance. While menstruation pain has been normalized, it is not natural to regularly be in pain during your cycle. Consistently painful cycles are the body’s way of communicating that something is wrong and that the womb needs attention.  I’ve provided some tools below to help.
I’ve broken the info up into three categories: energetic, physical, and gut health. I’ve found it to be true that womb related issues are always energetic first. Fixing the physical issue without addressing the emotional/energetic wounding will cause the illness to manifest in the body in another way. The physical category focuses on how to address womb imbalance by making changes to diet and behavior. The gut health category is gut specific healing because many hormones are created in the gut or called into creation by the gut microbiome. If you have hormonal issues it’s likely you have gut health issues as well.
The most important element of healing your womb is discernment. Use your discernment when moving through this information. Some things will be helpful and relevant to you and some will not. Everyone’s body is unique. Honor that on your journey to healing.
**note: some of these resources advise restrictive dieting (example vegan, low/no carb or otherwise) to heal the womb. While using these diets to detox for a little while may be beneficial, I’ve personally found restrictive diets to be more damaging long term. I’ve found the most benefit from prometabolic eating or eating ancestrally.  With any dietary info provided in these resources, use your discernment and prioritize listening to your body’s unique needs.**

Migraine isn’t a Headache Part Five: make it go away
I wanted to put something about getting diagnosed before I started to address medication, but the spoons to put my diagnosis journey together down on paper are much more than this section, so I’m skipping it until later.
(We’re out of Migraine Awareness Month now, but we are getting into Disability Pride Month, and chronic migraine is a disability, so!)
Treatment for Migraine can be divided into ACUTE and PREVENTATIVE
(and within that, can be divided into ‘medical’ and ‘complimentary’)
Acute treatment includes medication that treats the pain when you’re starting or having a migraine, like triptans, and methods you use to handle the pain, like cold packs
Preventative treatment aims to stop the migraine happening, so that you don’t need to use acute treatments.
Up until very recently (2021) there were no preventative treatments for migraine that were made specifically for migraine (until 2021)
(2021)
(That was three years ago.)
(Yeah)
Every other medication prescribed had originally been designed for something else.
As a result, you’ll find that a lot of suggested migraine preventative treatments are drugs used to treat things like high blood pressure, seizures and mental health issues like depression and psychosis – dosage makes all the difference.
This isn’t because they believe the cause of your migraine to be high blood pressure, or mental illness, but because the drugs also work to mitigate migraines – I’m only highlighting that because I’ve seen it suggested that when a doctor prescribes an antidepressant for migraines, it’s because they’re treating depression – this isn’t true.
Even botox was first used in beauty treatments before they discovered that women who had it also experienced a reduction in their migraines.
There have been no medications made specifically for migraine until the last couple of years, which is a crazy state of affairs.
And, even now, the meds that are coming out for migraine (CGRP mAb injections -nabs and -gepants) aren’t widely available, and not at all in some countries (India, for example). We don’t yet have access to the exciting new -gepant drugs in the UK.
(EDIT: As of 31st May 2023 we MIGHT be getting access to them! Exciting!)
When you present at the GP with a headache, and the GP diagnoses you with migraine, they won’t usually jump to prescribing preventatives.
They will usually prescribe acute medications first, if anything at all.
It’s not uncommon to be told to take high dose dispersible aspirin or other over the counter meds marketed for migraine.
These meds are usually your average ibuprofen or paracetamol with added caffeine, sometimes with an added anti-emetic.
Remember that migraines aren’t a headache, so your stomach can stop working or work inefficiently when you’re having one.
Prescribing an acute pain relief medication alongside an anti-emetic helps your body actually absorb that acute med while you’re having an attack.
In my experience, no GP ever suggested or prescribed an anti-emetic alongside an acute treatment when I first went to them with migraines, so be prepared to have to make that suggestion yourself, and to be shot down if they disagree.
The usual anti-emetics will be metoclopramide hydrochloride, or prochlorperazine (also used for schizophrenia and anxiety)
Sometimes, your GP will prescribe naproxen, or another prescription NSAID for your migraines.
If you’re lucky, your GP might prescribe a triptan.
I believe the most common is ‘sumatriptan’ but there are a whole host of them (rizatriptan and almotriptan might be two others you’ve heard about).
I’m currently taking eletriptan, which is a much older triptan and not widely used by most GP’s for some reason.
This to say, that if you’re prescribed eg sumatriptan and it doesn’t work for you, try asking for another type.
Another reason triptans might not work for you is the method of administration.
If your migraines present with a lot of vomiting, something that melts on your tongue or a buccal tablet that dissolves under your upper lip might work better for you than a tablet you swallow. Some of them even come in nasal sprays.
TL;DR – Acute Treatment - Medications
- Paracetamol
- Ibuprofen
- Aspirin (dispersible aspirin for fast absorption, 900mg best dose)
- Co-codamol (voted most likely to cause rebound headaches)
- Naproxen (prescription only)
- Triptans (prescription only?)
- Anti-emetics (metoclopramide, prochlorperazine)
- Other prescription NSAIDs (tolfenamic acid, diclofenac potassium, diclofenac sodium, mefenamic acid)
- US only? -gepants
You can’t take most of these medications indefinitely.
They recommend taking cocodamol no more than 3 days in a row because of risk of addiction.
You can’t take metoclopramide for a long time.
Almost all of these meds can cause rebound/medication overuse headaches
Not to mention the side effects these meds come with, or the stress you might be putting on your kidneys/liver/rest of your body.
When your pain is that bad that you CAN’T care about the risks of taking something that might make a little dent in the agonies, you don’t think about those risks.
The hard part is that you get to the point where you HAVE TO start thinking about those risks.
Taking painkillers all day every day every time isn’t sustainable.
I know, it sucks.
Maybe in the future they’ll come up with a painkiller we can take that will reduce the pain without side effects destroying your body, but we’re not there yet.
Just another happy part of being alive as someone with chronic pain!
BUT! That’s where ‘complimentary’ treatments come in. These come in preventative and acute flavours too, with a lot of overlap, but we’re looking at acute treatments this time around.
If you’re a long-term chronic pain patient, you’ll probably already know about all of these.
I covered “lifestyle changes” that might help headaches in THIS PART, and you can use those here (sticking to a sleep schedule, regular meals, staying hydrated, ugh, yeah, I know, it helps though), but, for more urgent relief:
***Little disclaimer, not everything will work for everyone. Maybe you have other conditions that contraindicate these ideas. I’m not a medical professional, just a dude who suffers and uses this stuff to suffer a little less.***
- Cold treatment (ice packs, sticky cold patches, running cold water over your head, cold swimming, cold gels in a tube, ice hats)
- Heat treatment (electric heat pads, microwaveable heat packs, sticky heat patches, hot water bottles, hot baths)
- Balms (tiger balm, roll-on headache gels, pulse point gels, menthol rubs)
- Aromatherapy (helpful sometimes, but just as likely to aggravate your migraine as not. Proceed with caution.)
- Hot drinks (I don’t know why, but a cup of hot chocolate really takes the edge off my migraines?)
- Cold drinks, with ice
- Massage/Muscle treatments (anything from muscle relaxant bubble baths to massage rollers to getting someone to rub your back for you, if you’re lucky enough to have someone willing to do that)
- Gentle stretching (you can find a lot online; look for post-operative/elderly/low impact stretches)
- Sleep masks/Sunglasses (get away, light!)
- Travel sickness pills or ginger caplets for nausea
- Acupuncture (there is a point between the index finger and thumb in the meat of your hand that is supposed to ease pain if you add pressure to it – it doesn’t really work for me, but it’s worth a try. I’d suggest Googling/YouTubing it. I have acupuncture needles and have been shown how to use them, so it might be worth asking if you know a practitioner you trust?)
I’m sure I’m missing something that will come to me later.
For travel, I take:
- painkillers and my triptans (and anti-emetic when I’m allowed to have one)
- travel sickness pills/ginger pills
- balm tin/roller
- cold balm/sometimes cold patches
- shades
I’ve also shaved my head – I usually go down to a Grade 1, but have gone 0 before, which was weird.
Hair grows back surprisingly fast, and having short hair is amazing for migraines, especially in the summer.
You don’t need to spend so much time washing/drying your hair (which is helpful when you’re in the midst of an attack and/or have comorbidities that make showering difficult).
You can also apply cold/heat treatments closer to the scalp, but be careful not to burn yourself (I am absolutely not speaking from experience…)
On a greater scale, just making your room (or wherever you go to hide when you have migraines) as comfortable for you as possible is helpful. Enough pillows, blankets you can kick off if you overheat, a fan to keep the room cool but not cold, curtains or blackout blinds depending on how much light you want to block out.
I use a text-to-speech app to read fanfic to me, or I listen to audiobooks when I’m being photosensitive but can manage sound, and don’t want to be bored out of my gourd.
Has anyone else got any other tips that don’t fall into the above categories for help when you’re having a migraine?

How to reframe your thoughts For Mental Well-Being?
As stress, anxiety, and mental health challenges have become increasingly prevalent these days, it is crucial to prioritize our mental well-being. While seeking professional help from a psychiatric residential treatment facility for adults in India or a rehab center in Gurgaon can be beneficial, one effective approach to nurturing mental wellness is by reframing our thoughts. Reframing involves changing the way we perceive and interpret events, circumstances, and ourselves. Mentioned below are a few practical strategies to help reframe our thoughts for enhanced mental well-being.
Tumblr media
 1. Understanding the Power of Thoughts
Our thoughts have a profound impact on our emotions, behavior, and overall mental state. Negative thinking patterns, such as catastrophizing, overgeneralization, and black-and-white thinking, can significantly contribute to stress, anxiety, and depression. Reframing our thoughts allows us to challenge and change these negative patterns, leading to a more positive and balanced mindset.
2. Identify and Challenge Negative Thoughts
The first step in reframing thoughts is to become aware of negative thinking patterns. Pay attention to the thoughts that arise when you feel anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed. Are they based on facts or distorted perceptions? Once you identify negative thoughts, challenge them by questioning the validity and accuracy of negative thoughts. When you do that, only then you can start to reframe them in a more realistic and positive light.
3. Practice Positive Self-Talk
Positive self-talk involves using affirming and constructive language when addressing yourself. Replace self-criticism and self-doubt with encouraging and compassionate statements. For example, instead of saying, "I always mess up," reframe it as "I am capable of learning from my mistakes and growing." Regularly practicing positive self-talk can boost self-esteem, foster resilience, and create a supportive inner dialogue.
4. Cultivate Gratitude and Appreciation
Cultivating gratitude helps shift our focus from what's wrong to what's right in our lives. Take a moment each day to reflect on three things you are grateful for. They can be small things like a beautiful sunset or a kind gesture from a friend. By actively appreciating the positives, you train your mind to notice and amplify them, fostering a more optimistic outlook.
5. Seek Alternative Explanations
Often, our interpretations of events and situations are influenced by our past experiences and biases. Practice reframing by seeking alternative explanations for a given situation. Consider different perspectives, motivations, or underlying causes. This exercise can help you develop empathy, understanding, and a more balanced view of the world. 
Road To Recovery
Reframing our thoughts is a powerful tool for enhancing mental well-being. While seeking professional help from a Rehabilitation Centre in India may be necessary for some individuals, incorporating these practical strategies into our daily lives can have a profound positive impact.
In case, you are wondering if there is a rehab facility that offers effective treatment for mental illnesses and addiction, then Athena Behavioural Health is the place for you. Athena is one of the leading providers of mental health and addiction-related treatment services across the country. We have two separate treatment facilities in your vicinity – one that focuses entirely on treating patients with mental health issues; and the other one that focuses on treating individuals addicted to any form of substance.

Neuroimaging has numerous applications across various fields, including:
Clinical Diagnosis: It's used to diagnose and monitor neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, stroke, brain tumors, and multiple sclerosis.
Research: Neuroimaging helps researchers study brain structure and function, contributing to our understanding of cognition, emotion, perception, and behavior.
Treatment Planning: It assists in planning neurosurgical procedures by providing detailed images of the brain's anatomy and identifying areas of concern.
Drug Development: Neuroimaging is used in drug development to evaluate the effects of medications on brain function and structure, aiding in the development of treatments for neurological and psychiatric disorders.
Cognitive Neuroscience: It helps in studying brain activity associated with various cognitive processes such as attention, memory, language, and decision-making.
Psychiatry: Neuroimaging is used to study the neurobiology of mental disorders such as depression, schizophrenia, and anxiety disorders, aiding in diagnosis and treatment selection.
Brain Mapping: It's used to map brain regions involved in specific functions, facilitating the understanding of brain organization and connectivity.
Overall, neuroimaging plays a crucial role in both clinical practice and scientific research, advancing our knowledge of the brain and improving patient care.
Neuroimaging techniques are generally safe, but there can be some potential side effects and considerations:
Contrast Agent Reactions: In certain types of neuroimaging, such as MRI with contrast agents, some people may experience allergic reactions or adverse effects to the contrast material. These reactions can range from mild to severe, including hives, nausea, vomiting, or rarely, more serious reactions like anaphylaxis.
Claustrophobia: Some people may experience feelings of claustrophobia or anxiety during MRI scans, particularly if they are enclosed in the scanner for an extended period.
Metallic Implants: Individuals with certain metallic implants or devices, such as pacemakers, cochlear implants, or metal fragments in their body, may not be suitable candidates for certain types of neuroimaging, such as MRI, due to safety concerns related to the strong magnetic fields.
Radiation Exposure: In techniques like CT and PET scans, there is exposure to ionizing radiation, which carries a small risk of radiation-induced cancer, particularly with repeated exposures.
Discomfort or Pain: Some neuroimaging procedures may cause discomfort or pain, such as having electrodes attached to the scalp during an EEG or lying still for an extended period during an MRI.
Rare Complications: In rare cases, neuroimaging procedures can lead to complications such as burns from MRI heating, seizures triggered by flashing lights or patterns during EEG or fMRI, or rare adverse events related to the administration of contrast agents.
