Headache Relief Pressure points

The base of the skull.

Using your thumbs, gently massage points, located on your temples. You are supposed to barely touch the skin, the purpose of this part is to relax the patient.

Perform the massage. Do it for 20-60 seconds (all the pressure points in this routine can be massaged for some minimal time, however, you can increase it, if it feels right.



Also it should be noticed, that while massaging points on, say, front side of the head, you are pushing it back. And to resist this pressure, the person has to use his neck muscles, which, especially when this person has a headache, is not a good thing. To handle this problem, you can hold the person's head, so that your middle fingers push against the pressure points, while your thumbs are supporting the head from the back (this works if you are giving massage to yourself. If you are doing it on other person, you can press the points with your thumbs, while supporting the head with the palms.



Using tips of your pointing or middle fingers, massage the points located near the inside ends of eyebrows. These points (as well as all other points in this routine, except for the first pair) should be massaged with strong, circular motions, the pressure has to be (almost) as strong as the patient can tolerate
