Stop Headache Pressure Point Program Exercise 3: Head Pressure Point
Time: 1-2 minutes
Benefits: Relieves and prevents headache, particularly in the temple region and on the sides of your head. Also relieves sore eyes and a blocked, stuffy head from colds and flu.
How: Standing or sitting. 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.
Tips: Close your eyes and focus on the points as you press them; if the points are very tender ease off the pressure a bit.
Good!I’ll try this sometimes.
