There are?acupressure points you can press yourself to help alleviate the pain.
1) GV21 – At the top of your head between both ears lies GV21.? This point is known to relieve headaches, dizziness and increases energy.
2) GB21 – This point is located bilaterally on the highest point of both shoulders.? This point relieves migraines, neck and shoulder tension and stress.
3) LI4 – Master point of the head, this point is located?in the depression?of where your thumb and forefinger meet.? This point treats headaches, migraines and general head pain (sinus, head colds).
A few other useful tips are:??Massage your neck.? Headaches and migraines are considered heat conditions in the head.? The heat gets trapped and the neck acts like a bottle neck (think of a four lane highway funnelling down to one).? Use a cold pack on the affected area to reduce the heat (but only if that feels good to you).? Put a hot water bottle down by your feet to draw the heat downward.
For long term relief, I highly recommend scheduling an acupressure session.? The clients I’ve worked with have reported they have long term relief and some no longer have migraines symptoms at all.? For more information on practitioners in your area, visit?www.aobta.org?or?www.nccaom.org.
