Massage Pressure Points
Some pressure points can be massaged to lessen headache pain and tension in the head. Many people act this way automatically when they’re anxious, such as stroking their necks or pinching the bridge of their noses. Others massage their jaw, neck, or temples to help reduce tension and headaches from excessive stress.
The body has pressure points that are particularly sensitive and capable of causing the body to relax. Reflexology practitioners, who follow a branch of Chinese medicine, hold the view that particular pressure points on the body can be touched in such a way as to promote health, lessen the pain, and reestablish balance.
In addition, try massaging the area between the brows and the bridge of the nose. Massaging these areas may release the stress that has built up in the head or eyes. Massaging the neck area close to the head could also be beneficial.
