“Headache” is a condition familiar to most people. Moreover, it would seem that such a simple, although painful, condition does not depend on age or general health, and under certain conditions, a headache can make life unbearable. Treatment with pills, to which many are accustomed, as well as folk remedies, are not always effective. If the possibilities of traditional and folk medicine have been tried, but relief has not followed, you can turn to prayer for headaches.
Prayer to the Mother of God
It is the Most Holy Theotokos that people turn to in the most difficult life situations. And don’t think that a headache is a trifle. It may be a harbinger of serious illnesses or accompany them. When turning to the Mother of God, you need to calm down and say the words of the prayer quietly, without strain. The Orthodox prayer for headaches addressed to her is considered one of the most powerful.
Accept, O All-Blessed and All-Powerful Lady Theotokos Virgin, these prayers, now brought to You with tears from us, Your unworthy servants, to Your celibate image of singing sending out with tenderness, as if You yourself are here and hearken to our prayer. For every request you fulfill, you alleviate sorrow, you give health to the weak, you heal the weakened and sick, you drive away demons from demons, you deliver the offended from their grievances, cleanse yourselves and your little children; Moreover, O Lady, Lady Theotokos, you free us from bonds and prisons and heal all manifold passions: for all things are possible through Your intercession to Your Son, Christ our God. Oh, All-Singing Mother, Most Holy Theotokos! Do not cease to pray for us, Your unworthy servants, who glorify You and honor You, and who worship Your Most Pure Image with tenderness, and who have irrevocable hope and undoubted faith in You, Ever-Virgin, Most Glorious and Immaculate, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Which vaccine dose is more difficult to tolerate?
Sputnik is a two-stage vaccine. The first injection of the vaccine causes an unstable immune reaction, and the second dose consolidates the result. This method of administration increases the effectiveness of the vaccine and the duration of the body's protection. The interval between vaccines should be 21 days or slightly more. A deviation of several days (in one direction or another) does not pose a danger.
It is believed that younger and healthier patients respond more strongly to the vaccine, but there is no official data. Adverse effects the second time may be stronger than after the first dose, or they may be weaker. This is a normal reaction and may be associated with another type of adenovirus.
Typically, older people tolerate vaccination better than younger people. The risk of such an undesirable phenomenon as elevated body temperature decreases significantly with age.
Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker
The benefits and miracles performed by Saint Nicholas the Pleasant are well known to believers. He is one of the most beloved and revered saints, famous for his selfless service to the Lord and helping people. They believe in his help with all their hearts and hope for his intercession. There are many examples of support received from St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in the most difficult moments of life.
O all-holy Nicholas, exceedingly saintly saint of the Lord, our warm intercessor, and everywhere in sorrow a quick helper, help me, sinful and sad, in this life, beg the Lord God to grant me the remission of all my sins, which I have sinned greatly from my youth, throughout my life. in my deed, word, thought and all my feelings; and at the end of my soul, help me the accursed, beg the Lord God of all creation, the Creator, to deliver me from airy ordeals and eternal torment, so that I always glorify the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and your merciful intercession, now and ever, and forever and ever. Amen
Prayer to Matrona of Moscow
This saint, whose life was dedicated to the Lord and suffering believers, is affectionately called Mother and they confide their secrets and problems to her, ask for help and receive it if they sincerely believe that Matronushka will hear and help. They also read prayers to her for constant headaches.
Oh, blessed Mother Matrono, with your soul standing in Heaven before the throne of God, but with your body resting on earth, and with the grace given from above, exuding various miracles. Look now with your merciful eye on us, sinners, in sorrows, illnesses and sinful temptations, our waiting days, comfort us, desperate ones, heal our fierce ailments, from God we are allowed by our sins, deliver us from many troubles and circumstances, pray to our Lord Jesus Christ forgive us all our sins, iniquities and falls, in whose image we have sinned from our youth even to this day and hour, and through your prayers having received grace and great mercy, we glorify in the Trinity the One God, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and ever. Amen.
Myths about COVID-19 vaccination
Adverse events are normal possible consequences of receiving any vaccine. But in addition to the usual and carefully studied effects, there is an opinion that Sputnik V may cause unexpected long-term consequences:
Myth #1: Vaccines cause infertility.
None of the known vaccines affects the reproductive function of men or women. The issue of safety for offspring remains one of the most important for developers of medicines, including vaccines. This is considered a serious adverse event. Therefore, if there is minimal doubt, the drug will not pass phase 1 of clinical trials on laboratory animals. In this case, further development will be stopped. Vaccines that have passed the second and third phases are guaranteed to be safe for future parents.
There is no evidence that any vaccine causes fertility problems. But how a pregnant woman’s body will react to a coronavirus infection is a big question.
Myth #2: Vaccines affect DNA
None of the vaccines registered today are capable of integrating into DNA. Vaccines do not penetrate the cell nucleus, where the DNA is located. Therefore she is safe. The origin of this myth is unknown to science.
Myth No. 3: You can get infected with coronavirus from the vaccine and get a positive PCR test
The vaccine does not cause active disease, but stimulates specific immunity in other ways. PCR after vaccination will be positive only if you become infected before vaccination. The sooner you get vaccinated, the faster specific immunity will form. The only risk I see is a short-term increase in body temperature. It can be detected, for example, at the airport and prevent departure. Therefore, ideally, you should get vaccinated two to three days before your flight.
Myth No. 4: You can’t get vaccinated if you have chronic diseases.
In this case, it is better to consult with your doctor before vaccination. If a chronic disease worsens, vaccination may need to be postponed. Or perhaps not. But chronic diseases themselves are not contraindications. On the contrary, they greatly increase the risk of severe coronavirus infection. In this case, it is safer to get vaccinated and protect the weakened body.
Prayer to Panteleimon the Healer
From childhood, Panteleimon was distinguished by his zeal in learning and knowledge of the basics of healing. He gained firm faith in God after turning to the Lord with a prayer for the resurrection of a child who died from the bite of an echidna, and the punishment of the poisonous reptile. When his prayers were heard by the Lord and fulfilled, he underwent the rite of Baptism. Continuing to heal, he constantly turned to the Higher Powers with words of prayer for support, received it and helped to heal not only the body, but also the soul. They read prayers to Panteleimon the Healer for various diseases, as well as when they often have headaches.
Oh, great saint of Christ and glorious healer, Great Martyr Panteleimon! With your soul in Heaven stand before the Throne of God and enjoy His Trinitarian glory, rest in the body and face of the saints on earth in the Divine temples and exude various miracles from the grace given to you from above . Look with your merciful eye at the people ahead and more honestly to the icon, tenderly praying and asking from you for healing help and intercession. Extend your warm prayers to the Lord our God and ask our souls for forgiveness of our sins. With faith we call upon your name, holy and righteous Panteleimon. For you have received grace from the Lord God to drive away illnesses and heal passions. We therefore ask you: do not despise us, unworthy, who pray to you and demand your help. Be a comforter to us in our sorrows, a physician to the ills of the fiercely afflicted. For those who are being guided - a quick patron. For the ailing eyes - the giver of insight. For those in tribulation, he is the most ready intercessor and healer. Seek to everyone everything that is useful for salvation. For through your prayers to the Lord God, having received grace and mercy, let us glorify all the good, the Source and Giver, the One God, glorified in the Holy Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
Which saints should I pray to so that I don’t have a headache?
You can call for help with health problems to any heavenly patron. John the Baptist, who baptized the Savior and first proclaimed the coming of the Messiah, was beheaded by order of King Herod. They pray to the saint when they suffer from migraines.
You can turn to the Heavenly Queen with any prayer, but at the same time keep in your soul a prayer for deliverance from a painful condition due to pain in the head. Saint Panteleimon became famous during his lifetime as a great healer. People resort to its help for all diseases, including headaches.
We should remember the guardian angel who is next to the Orthodox believer every moment.
You can turn to the heavenly intercessor not only in sorrows, but also in case of migraines.
Saint Matrona of Moscow, being blind from birth and physically weak, spent her entire life helping the sick and disadvantaged, asking God for mercy for them. Her prayers helped seriously ill people recover. The saint is responsive to prayer requests to her.
Saint Guriy of Kazan, the first archbishop of Kazan after the city was annexed to the Russian state, became famous for his energetic activities in educating Muslims and accepting Orthodoxy. A prayer service at the icon of the saint will relieve dizziness.
Prayer to the Guardian Angel
At birth, every person is given a Guardian Angel who protects us from bad thoughts and actions, gives wise advice, and helps us cope with illnesses and illnesses. If the painful condition is unbearable, a prayer for high blood pressure and headaches addressed to the Guardian Angel will bring relief.
Holy Angel of Christ, falling to you I pray, my holy guardian, given to me for the preservation of my soul and body, a sinner from holy baptism, but through my laziness and my evil deeds We hope that you have angered your most pure lordship and driven you away from us with all your evil deeds: lies, slander , envy, condemnation, contempt, disobedience, brotherly hatred, and resentment, love of money, adultery, rage, stinginess, gluttony without satiety and drunkenness, excessive talking, evil thoughts and crafty ones, proud custom and lustful indignation, having self-desire for all carnal lust. Oh, my evil will, even the beasts do not do it without words! How can you look at me, or approach me like a stinking dog? Whose eyes, O angel of Christ, look upon me, entangled in evil in vile deeds? How can I ask for forgiveness for my bitter and evil and evil deeds, in which I fall all day and night and at every hour? But I pray to you, falling down, my guardian saint, have mercy on the flesh of your sinful and unworthy servant (name), be my helper and intercessor against the evil of my opponent, your saints through my prayers, and make me a partaker of the Kingdom of God with all the saints, always, and now and forever and ever. Amen.

The power of prayers for headaches
The root cause of suffering may be a cold, migraine, lack of sleep, a stressful situation, or overwork. A person’s health deteriorates, he becomes irritable, his intellectual level decreases, and his performance decreases.
Why can prayer help with headaches? During the prayer service, a person’s thoughts and feelings switch to spiritual communication with Heavenly forces. With sincere and deep faith, while reading prayers, a spiritual “bridge” is formed with the heavenly patron.
To do this, the believer must set himself in a calm mood. The words of prayer requests, read with feeling and attention, will have a positive impact. Reading a prayer for headaches helps to find peace of mind. The world around us is regaining its former colors.
But we must not forget about drug treatment, especially if the pain is associated with chronic diseases of the nervous system and brain. The patient must believe in his healing. Then the effect of treatment will be more pronounced. Prayers will give relief and help you gain confidence in a cure for your illness.
