Ms. Nguyen Thu Giang, 40 years old, from Tran Phu commune (Nam Sach district), suffers from chronic headaches. Furthermore, her job involves organizing and managing data for a company, which sometimes exacerbates her condition. However, in recent years, instead of relying on Western medicine, Ms. Giang has sought out non-drug headache remedies. She explained: “Before, every time I had a headache, I would take medication, even if it was just a fleeting pain. Although this method quickly relieved the pain, the intensity increased each time it returned. Moreover, using too much Western medicine affected my liver and kidney function.”
Introduced by friends and relatives, Ms. Giang began researching natural remedies for headaches. She was advised to use methods such as hot and cold compresses, steam inhalation, massage, and acupressure to relieve the pain. Initially, Ms. Giang received assistance from medical staff at a healthcare facility. Later, after becoming proficient in the steps, she proactively did it herself at home. "This method doesn't provide immediate relief, but it's safe, so I feel very reassured. Now, in addition to treating headaches, I also apply natural therapies to treat neck, shoulder, and back pain," Ms. Giang shared.
Mr. Nguyen Chinh Hanh, 62 years old, residing in Tan Binh ward ( Hai Duong city), has been living with a herniated disc for many years. Previously, due to his busy work schedule, Mr. Hanh didn't focus on treatment and only used medication to alleviate the pain. As he got older and his condition worsened, he began to pay attention to his health. He said he had consulted many doctors and used various medications, but the results were not as expected. After researching and experiencing it himself, Mr. Hanh has chosen to treat his herniated disc using natural therapies for over 5 years now.
Every week, Mr. Hanh visits a physiotherapy center for acupuncture and hot compresses. Based on his physical condition and health, he is guided through exercises and movements to do at home to reduce pressure on his joints. Through consistent practice over a long period, Mr. Hanh no longer feels tired or discouraged by the pain and has developed a healthy lifestyle and exercise routine. Mr. Hanh said: “Since starting this natural therapy, my herniated disc has improved significantly. My health has also improved, and I feel more relaxed and at ease.”
