A headache can ruin even the best moments. Especially if it hits you at work or when you’re behind the wheel and you don’t have any medicine on hand.
headaches represents any kind of discomfort or pain located on the head, face or neck. In many cases, the headache is caused by nerves, muscles, or blood vessels in the face, scalp, or brain that are irritated, inflamed, or not functioning normally.
The headache varies greatly in severity, location, and duration of pain. Because there are many causes of headache, it is very important to diagnose it correctly.
Although most headaches are harmless and last only a few hours, the headache can be a symptom of conditions of varying severity: cold, flu, or stress to meningitis, stroke, or brain tumor.
The Bright Side site presents a simple technique that seems to get rid of headaches and stress in just 30 seconds (and you don’t even need medication!).
Our body has certain active areas that can be massaged to relieve pain of various kinds, and techniques such as Acupressure are very helpful in relieving these pains.
Pressure point therapy (triggerpoints) appeared in Asia over 2000 years ago and is a acupressure that works when you press with your fingers certain points in the body that release muscle stress. So, the next time you suffer from these pains, go to a shiatsu session or, better yet, do it yourself!
So what should you do if you are experiencing a terrible headache? The point you need to massage is between your thumb and forefinger. Using the thumb of one hand and the index finger of the other, pinch the soft, fleshy part between the thumb and forefinger, applying pressure to the back of the palm.
Press this point with your finger and hold the pressure for 30 seconds, then repeat the technique for a second hand. If you follow the above rules exactly, your headache should go away soon.
Be careful, however, specialists do not recommend triggerpoint therapy to pregnant women!
