Got a headache......start by throwing away that advil

Ever have a killer headache and hadn't had any pills on you to subdue it, now you wont need them. Chinese believe that all headaches can be cured by knowing the pressure points that take them away. Chinese have been using pressure points to relieve headaches for over 2000 years.

Many headaches start because of stress, overwork, menopause, worry etc. they can also come in many different forms like Temple headaches, Fatigue headaches, Anxiety headaches, Tension headaches and Stiff neck headaches.

This pressure relief point takes temple and side of the head, headaches away.

"Use your thumbs to press and rub the two depressions at the base of your skull. Close your eyes and focus on the points as you press them. Press upwards in the direction of your eyes. Use as much pressure as you’re comfortable with, then while holding the pressure rub in a very small circular motion for 1-2 minutes. Gently release the pressure. Repeat 3-4 times a day and whenever you have a headache."

Personally i don't really ever get headaches so i haven't been able to try this out yet but next time a get one i am definitely going to try it. I have my doubts on how good it actually works but by all means if you are reading this and get headaches regularly, try it out i would love to find out if it worked for you.
