Sometimes we face small but very unpleasant problems. Stuffy nose, feeling nauseous before a performance, burning your finger – all of these can be a thorn in one’s side that you want to get rid of as quickly as possible.
It turns out there are ways to address these issues by slightly deceiving your body. AdmiGram.com will teach you how to temporarily forget about these annoying problems. Try these methods, and you’ll be surprised!
10 ways to trick your body scientifically
If you feel shy to sneeze in a crowded place
Press your finger to the point between your nose and upper lip. Hold the finger there for a few seconds, and the urge to sneeze will disappear. There are nerve endings under the nose that react to irritation inside the nose. By pressing on them – you block them.
If you feel nauseous from stress
Massage the area in the center of your palm with circular motions of your thumb, then in the middle of your wrist about 2 inches below the point where you measure your pulse. This technique has been known to Indian yogis for a thousand years.
If you need to hold back laughter where laughing isn’t appropriate
Press firmly on the point between your eyebrows, lifting the skin upward. You can also try biting your tongue. This helps to hold back laughter where it’s not needed.
If you need to hold back tears
If you open your eyes wide and look upward, trying not to blink for as long as possible, you can hold back tears. The “lump” that rises in the throat when you want to cry is blocked by the stretched muscles of the larynx.
If you need to clear your nose
To get rid of nasal congestion for a couple of minutes, massage the point between your eyebrows. While massaging the point, press your tongue against the roof of your mouth and also massage it. This clears the nose as it causes movement in the nasal septum. If you sneeze as well – even better.
If you’ve burnt your finger
If you’ve burned yourself on something hot, wet the area with saliva and blow strongly on it with your breath. It will work as if you applied an ice cube to the burn.
If you don’t want to disturb people with your snoring
Just turn onto your side. In this position, breathing improves because our nasopharynx is more open and its walls don’t collapse. This method is known to all wives who nudge their husbands to roll onto their side.
If you need to memorize information by heart
Before going to bed, repeat several times what you need to memorize by heart. During sleep, your brain will place this information into long-term memory. In the morning, you’ll find that you remember the text by heart.
If you need to deal with strong anxiety
Blow on your thumb for quite some time, this will slow down the rhythm of your heartbeats. Additionally, it also stimulates the vagus nerve, which regulates the functioning of the parasympathetic nervous system.
If you need to quickly lift your mood
When you’re feeling down, a regular pencil held in your teeth can help. Try smiling with it. This further activates the muscles responsible for smiling, and your mood is guaranteed to improve. Try it right now, and you’ll be surprised!
