Our bodies are full of secret remedies to temporarily relieve discomfort. Men’s Health has some tricks to try:
• If you’ve got an itchy throat – scratch your ear.
Stimulating the nerves in your ear can create a spasm reflex in the throat to relieve the tickle.
• Getting a shot? Cough.
That can reduce pain at the moment of injection.
• If your heart is racing – blow on your thumb.
The vagus nerve that governs the heart rate can be controlled through breathing.
• Got a toothache? Rub the V shaped area between your thumb and forefinger with an ice cube.
It blocks the brain’s pain signals for the face and hands.
• If you REALLY need to go – and there’s no bathroom nearby – think about sex.
It preoccupies that part of your brain.
