This is one of the most well-known pressure points for headache relief. You find this point by placing your thumb and forefinger together as if you were making an OK gesture. When you do this, you'll likely see a muscle pop up under your fingers. Place the thumb of your other hand on this spot, apply pressure and begin to stimulate the muscle. Note:if you are pregnant, it is better not to use this pressure point. He is known for being able to induce labour!
The next pressure point is at the top of your neck. To find this point, put the fingers of both hands together (keep your thumbs free) and place your palms on the back of your head with your thumbs down. Feel with your thumbs where the smooth, ruffled spots are where your neck muscles attach to your skull. Once you've found them, you can use your thumbs to stimulate those spots.
Your hands are a good base to massage your headache away, because there is another pressure point that you can use. You can find this between your ring finger and your pinky finger. Scan the top of your hand for the groove between your ring and pinky fingers, which is slightly lower than the space between your other knuckles. Use the thumb of your other hand to put pressure on the pressure point and stimulate it.
The last pressure points - or actually pressure points - are found at the top of your shoulders, in the middle of your trapezius muscle. You can find them by using your thumb and the middle finger of your opposite hand to squeeze your shoulder muscle. The part that comes up is the point where you start applying pressure when you stop squeezing. Stimulate deeply on that point for a few seconds, then work up and down on this muscle. This can also be very nice for relaxing your neck and shoulders! Of course you can also cross your arms in front of your chest and do both sides at the same time – how handy?!
