The Amazing Hair Dryer

Not long ago a friend took her ten-year-old boy to my house looking for my wife, saying that her child had hiccups  all day long. The child was very uncomfortable and unable to  eat at all. After she checked, my wife said there was a muscle spasm  in his diaphragm. Without hesitation, she took out a blow dryer,  turned on the power and started blowing at the boy's stomach.  About 10 minutes later, the boy burped and fell relieved.
We were  surprised that this thing can do the trick. But my wife just smiled.

A few days later, I had a stiff neck when I woke  up in the morning. I could hardly turn my head. I recalled my  stiff neck problem was treated a few times by acupuncture  and cupping when I was younger. I asked my wife for the similar  treatment. She said there weren't any needles at home nor any  suitable small jars for cupping. She just took out a hair dryer.  I couldn't help laughing. Again? This thing can cure stiff neck too?  Amazing!

She blew on my shoulders and my neck for about  15 minutes. My neck was really loosened up. I could turn my head  now. Later in the evening, she repeated that on me once  more.
The pain in my neck was significantly reduced. I crowned  her the "queen of blow drying".

She explained that this  was inspired by the method people used in the old days.  In hospitals, with all the modern equipments we have, doctors do not need blow dryers. Back in the old days, in rural villages  especially, doctors were poorly equipped with medical supplies.  So they came up with other means to treat patients with common  pains.

Suddenly I realized this is the thermal effect on  pains with the heat generated by a blow dryer. Modern  physiotherapy equipment such as electric, laser, thermal, ultrasound  and others can easily generate heat for effective treatment. They  are, of course, more powerful then a blow dryer. However, when  they are not available, using a blow dryer to generate heat will  also work, temporarily at least, on common pains such as back  pain, muscle spasm, stiff neck, leg cramps, etc. It is easily  accessible and easy to operate as long as there is electricity.  The blow dryer is really amazing. Try it. Hope it works for you  too.
