Helen received her Degree in Art at The Ohio Dominican College. Her major influences in the arts have been her father, and later in life, her art professor at Ohio Dominican, Mel Rozen.
“Professor Rozen inspired my love of abstract art in various mediums, mostly in acrylics, which inspired my desire to paint non-imitating realities or objects of nature.”
Her exhibition will continue through the end of June.
When you get a headache, the first thought is to pop a pill and hope that the pain will die down. Not all headaches are the same though. Migraines cause one to retch, get irritable, lose interest in food, experience some loss of vision, bring on a fever, weakness, accompanied by other symptoms. If you notice that you are about to experience sudden headaches avoid arguments or any tension.
Living with a condition like migraine can be quite frustrating because pills hardly erase the problem. Sometimes the only solution is to hope that you can catch some sleep so that you do not have to deal with the problem. Unfortunately, when there is a job to do and accomplish it come what may, a good dose of caffeine may seem like the real deal unfortunately, this can actually cause serious complications.
There is a way to iron out the problem through the traditional Chinese non-invasive treatment of acupuncture. The process works on the insertion of tiny needles inserted in trigger points, by a qualified expert. Stimulation is provided through manual or electrical process. The procedure works on increasing blood flow in the tissues. A migraine is caused because of the dilation of the blood vessels in the head. The technique is so pure that it definitely alleviates the problem unlike synthetic drugs.
At the clinic, treatment is performed on patients based on the extent of the problem. This is performed with sterilized needles while the patient lies down up. In general, people prone to migraine attacks are stressed out individuals who hardly sleep at the right times. One can put this down to an imbalanced way of life, which activates conditions like insomnia, hypertension, PMS and other conditions. The preventive method is use the right technique by a qualified expert.
Today, people work crazy hours and shifts and because of muscle tension in the neck and the upper back area, they end up with tension headaches. The natural order of things is to get the posture right but because of the eyes are usually in front of the computer, the tilt of the neck and other factors, the body feels the pressure, resulting in cluster headaches and the like. The normal solution to deal with a problem is to sit in front of the television set or catch a program on the laptop or desktop. Ergo, the eyes feel the strain, which results in a series of headaches and then migraine.
At the treatment center in Columbus, OH, the team advises lifestyle changes to reduce the incidence of headaches resulting in migraines. Sleep deficit can trigger a variety of problems, and as per doctor’s advice, 8 hours a day of rest is a necessity. Cutting back on tension, be it mental or physical strain, is also advised as is doing away with bad habits like smoking, alcohol and caffeine. A walk in the morning or late evening in the great outdoors along with a change in diet is recommended. In a nutshell, anything that causes an upset is what needs to be avoided.

For any centuries now, the ancient practice of acupuncture prevails in Asian countries to relieve pain and treat many other conditions. It has become so popular now that it is now being increasingly used in both the United States as well as other countries in the west to treat conditions ranging from menstrual cramps, fibromyalgia, headaches, nerve pain like painful rashes and shingles to low back pain.
Traditional acupuncture procedure that originated in China uses extremely fine and thin needles that are inserted into specific “acupoints” of the skin. The technique may be able to relieve your pain as the body releases endorphins. It is the pain-killing chemical that is produced by your body. Many claim that the procedure affects part of one’s brain, which controls serotonin. The latter is a brain chemical related to mood,
The Chinese acupuncture involves the twirling or turning the needles slightly. An acupuncturist may use electrical stimulation or apply heat so that the effects are enhanced. The acupuncturist can also use a technique called moxibustion wherein a therapeutic herb is burnt near a patient’s skin.
On the other hand the acupuncture form that is used in Japan involves insertion of shallower needles as compared to Chinese acupuncture. Moreover, the needles are not manipulated usually. Meanwhile, Korean acupuncture concentrates on applying the needles to specific points in feet and hands only.
Studies have been extensively conducted on the effectiveness of the technique, particularly for back and neck pain, headache, knee pain and osteoarthritis. But despite that, researchers have now started to apprehend how acupuncture can be useful in different health conditions.
When a well-trained and experienced practitioner uses sterile needles to perform the process, acupuncture is regarded as safe. The results derived from various studies indicate that acupuncture can alleviate chronic pain types like knee/osteoarthritis pain, neck pain, and low back pain. The technique may also lower the frequency of certain types of headaches and also helps to prevent headaches caused due to migraines.
Thus, the procedure seems to be a reasonable choice to consider for those people who are suffering from chronic pain. But the effects of acupuncture on a human body and brain and ways of measuring them are just being understood now.
In case, you are planning to try out acupuncture, take the help of an experienced professional. This is because if acupuncture is not delivered in a proper manner, there can be severe died effects like injury to nervous system and infections.
