RELAXATION exercises can help to relieve headaches, backaches and insomnia.
One of the simplest relaxation exercises is deep breathing, which will release endorphins (the body's very own painkillers) into our body.
Begin by breathing through your nostrils; inhale for five counts, silently saying the word "in" (concentrate on breathing deeply); fill your lower abdomen with air; count to five, and then exhale slowly, silently saying the word "out" as you let the air escape through your mouth; repeat this exercise for about two minutes; gradually you will be able to build up to ten counts or higher; increase your relaxation by imagining a peaaceful scene or by breathing in fresh air or pleasant smells.
