Simple Headache Remedies (that work!!)
Headache is another worst problem of the society. People anywhere around the globe (and anywhere outside it)tend to experience this simple but excruciating pain. Many consider taking aspirin and other medicines to relieve themselves of the pain but haven't thought about other simple solutions.
Studies show that "acupressure" is one of the most effective and simplest way to relieve headaches and migraines. There are many pressure points in our body that offers numerous healing factors but in a certain pain or sickness. For headache, there are 2 points which can effectively stop this kind of pain.
"The Head Acupressure Point"
Standing, sitting or lying on your back. Put your hands on your head and use your thumbs to locate the depressions at the base of your skull, about 6cm (2 inches) out from the middle of your neck.The points are just to the outside of the large muscles running down the side your neck. Press your thumbs in and slightly upward in the direction of your eyes. Press till you feel no more than a comfortable pain, then hold the pressure while you knead the points in very small circular movements for 1-2 minutes.
Doing so in 1 to 2 minutes will remove the headache of yours. Closing your eyes while applying pressure will improve the pain-relief in time.
"The Hand Acupressure Point"
You will need 2-3 minutes to do this.
This is a major acupressure point to relieve general head and face pain, e.g. headache, toothache, sinus pain.
How: The point is located on both hands, about 3-4cm (1.5 inches) in from the edge of the webbing between your thumbs and index fingers. Put your left thumb on the right hand point and your left index finger on the other (palm) side of the webbing to create a pinching technique. Squeeze and massage the point in very small circular movements for 1-2 minutes. Repeat on the other hand.
Press and knead these points anytime you have pain in your head or face; close your eyes and focus on the points as you press them. This will improve the healing process.
