How To Get Rid Of A Headache | Self Healing Techniques Series







It’s most certain that you’ve suffered from a at least once in your lifetime, but you read this probably because you have chronic headaches which make your life miserable.

It is most likely that so far in order to keep the ever annoying pain under control you used to swallow pills. medicine is often very harmful to your body, and while it helps relieve the pain, its side-effects often hurt other important for well-being systems and in the long run you have to cope with new issues, caused by the medicine. Moreover, if the same drug is taken on a regular basis (e.g., if you suffer from a chronic ) your body develops tolerance to it and that drug often stops working, making you increase dosage or try other even worse drugs.

Now I would like to explain how you could get rid of headaches or migraines in a matter of several minutes on your own or with a help of a partner. Before we continue please find a little stick with a not too sharp edge (a toothpick with a broken sharp edge will do).

Getting Rid Of The Forehead

Let’s begin with the case where you have a in your forehead area.

Find on the thumb of the left or the right hand the most painful point in an area corresponding to a frontal part of the head as shown in the following picture.

Press this point with a moderate effort and begin a slow rotation of the stick in two directions. Carry out this for several minutes and the would disappear.

You could apply the same procedure on other fingers of the right and left hand.

While you do that it’s crucial to have the intention making yourself feel good. Do not think “i want pain to go away”, but “I feel good”. If you think about pain, you will get pain.

If the pain doesn’t go away a few extra points as shown on the following picture. the points with the constant moderate effort while slightly rotating the thumb, without moving it. This point should not be stimulated if you are pregnant.

Another technique is to stick grains of buckwheat to the painful points and leave them there for a couple of hours to ensure that the pain doesn’t return. You can use a band-aid to keep the grains in place.

Getting Rid Of The On A Sides Of The Head

Apply the same techniques as described earlier using the following pictures:

Getting Rid Of The On A Top And Back Of The Head

And again, use the same techniques, but using the following pictures, first using the back of the thumb of the left hand:

massage-a-painful-point-on-the-area-corresponding-to-the-back-and-top-of-the-head

and then using the fingers of the left hand:

the-area-corresponding-to-a-back-and-top-part-of-the-head-on-the-fingers

massage-of-a-painful-point-corresponding-to-the-back-and-top-part-of-the-head-on-the-fingers


Notes

On the pictures you can see me using a special stick used in therapy, which you could probably purchase from your local health store, but again any similar stick would do the trick.

The techniques used here are based on Su-Jok Therapy, but the good thing is that you don’t need to know anything about it to get rid of pain.

    Thanks for the headache tips! I have suffered from migraines for as long as I can remember. They actually run in my family. My great great grandmother suffered from them and then right on down the line. My son gets them now too. For me, I have been relegated to using Imitrex 100mg. My doc tried the 50mg first but it didn’t work.

    But now that I’ve found these techniques, hopefully I can toss out the Imitrex!

    Thanks again!

    Nice, but it’s a placebo effect. It’s all in your mind.
    If you think you’re getting help, you’ll feel better.
    It’s all psychological.
    BUT it works that way, so I suppose it’s alright.

    The best way I have found for clearing headaches is to inhale peppermint oil

    There’s placebo effects in everything, whether its drugs, physical, or pressure point therapy. Just because there’s placebo effects in everything doesn’t mean they’re just that.

    I shared this website with a couple of friends, and to our amazement, it does work! Although on friend said that it only works as long as you keep massaging, and it comes back gradually after you’ve stopped.

    PS: the Peppermint oil worked for me as well, I actually applied it to the area right between my lip and my nose (my grandma taught me this one) and it was very effective.
