Depending on the source and cause of a headache, a number of self treatments can be very effective to better manage headache pain. Consider and try one (or more) of these techniques…
Temple Headaches: Press the hollow of the temples, a finger width beyond the outer end of the eyebrow.
Eye Pain: Press in hollow on top of the eyebrows, one finger width above the pupil of the eye.
Sinus Congestion: Press in the dimple at the inner end of the eyebrow, directly above the corner of the eye.
Nasal Congestion: Press in the dimples beside the nose, one finger width away from each nostril.
Jaw Tension: Press hollow found in front of ear at cheek bone level (open your mouth slightly to find the depression).
Activating these pressure points on your own may help to take the edge off pain and discomfort. It’s important to apply steady, even pressure on the described points.
