How many people can use the body's own repair function?

Our body is like a precision-operated machine. Its various parts have ways of cooperation and unique functions that we can't imagine, and can tacitly repair some minor problems by themselves.

Blow your thumb to lower your heart rate. Studies have found that breathing can control the vagus nerve, which is a major factor influencing heart rate. Therefore, blowing air on your thumb when you feel anxious can help calm your vein pulse and lower your heart rate.

Lie on your left side to prevent acid reflux. If you often suffer from heartburn, try lying on your left side. This posture can make the stomach lower than the esophagus, and the effect of gravity makes it difficult for stomach acid to flow into the esophagus; if you lie on your right side, the stomach will be higher than the esophagus, which will cause stomach acid to flow to the throat and cause a pantothenic acid reaction.

Press the back of your teeth to prevent sneezing. If you are in a meeting or class and your nose suddenly itches and you want to sneeze, but you think it is inappropriate at the right time, you can try pressing your tongue hard against the back of your teeth. But be aware that if a sneezing spell has already started, trying to stop it can be dangerous. If you want to stop sneezing sooner, you can stare at the light, which can speed up the cessation of sneezing.

Throat itchy and ears tugging. When your throat is itchy, try pulling your ears. Because this action stimulates the nerves in the ears, they cause the muscles in the throat to spasm, thereby relieving the itching symptoms.

Apply ice to the base of your thumb to relieve toothache. Studies have found that rubbing ice cubes back and forth on the V-shaped area between the thumb and index finger (the base of the thumb) can relieve toothache. This is because the contracted area has a fixed connection with a certain area of ​​the brain, and ice compress can block the transmission of pain signals.

Open your eyes wide and hold back the tears. Crying can be very embarrassing in certain situations. Before the tears flow, try opening your eyes wide and not blinking. But if you are already crying, keep your head in the same position and look upward. In the meantime, relax, bite your tongue gently, and focus on the pain in your body instead of what's making you cry.
