From toothache cure to acid reflux: 8 health tricks you need to know.
Whether it is toothache or acid reflux, we all have recurring health problems that we would like to get rid of quickly.
In this photo gallery we address these and 6 other very interesting topics trying to provide a possible solution to the problem. Have you suffered a sunburn? Do you have a toothache? Do you have an itchy throat? Are you looking for a method to calm your nerves? Are you afraid of the needle when you find yourself in the situation of having to take a blood sample? For these and other issues, browse the photo gallery for possible solutions.
Tickle in the throat
Scratch your ears. As stated by Scott Schaffer, president of a specialized ear, nose and throat center at Gibbsboro, in New Jersey: "When the nerves in the ear are stimulated, it creates a reflex in the throat that can cause a muscle spasm. This spasm relieves the itch."
How to calm down
Take a deep breath and rinse your face with cold water. This method triggers the mammalian diving reflex that is genetically in all animals, including humans.
Fear of blood collection because of the needle? Here's how not to feel pain while donating blood
A group of German researchers has found that coughing during blood collection can reduce pain. According to Taras Usichenko, author of a study on the phenomenon, coughing inhibits the conducting structures of the spinal cord, causing a sudden, temporary increase in pressure in the chest and spinal canal. This method should help keep pain from being felt.
How to combat acid reflux?
Fighting reflux un sleeping position is not a problem, the important thing is to lie on the left side of your body. When you are lying on the left side, the stomach is lower than the esophagus, so gravity is in your favor.
Sick of toothache?
Try rubbing ice on the back of your hand, on the V-shaped palmate area between your thumb and forefinger. According to a Canadian study, this technique reduces toothache pain by up to 50 percent compared to using ice directly on the face. Nerve pathways at the base of that V stimulate an area of the brain that blocks pain signals from the face and hands.
Did you get burned at the stove? Here's how to fix it
If you have suffered a sunburn or burn, try applying light pressure to the affected area. This method helps bring the burned skin back to an ideal temperature, counteracting blistering.
Make your nose stop bleeding
If you are trying to prevent nosebleeds, try putting cotton on your upper gums and press against it. In most cases this works.
You may still be in time to prevent myopia
During the day, try this technique 4-5 days times a day: close your eyes, tense your body, take a deep breath and, after a few seconds, release the breath and muscles at the same time. Tightening and releasing muscles such as biceps and glutes can also trick involuntary muscles, such as the eyes, into relaxing.

Aerophobia, synonymous with aviation phobia or simply fear of flying, is certainly one of the most widespread and common phobias in the world.
The causes may stem from a particular trauma related to flying, but in most cases it has no precise origin other than unfamiliarity and lack of experience with the medium. Unfortunately, people with this phobia often forego important journeys, thinking of their family members, perhaps their colleagues, as well as themselves. Some manage to take their fear in their hands and fly anyway, others just can't do it.
There are, however, some techniques, and some things one can do before, during and after the flight to try to overcome this fear.
