Headaches are a common ailment with a variety of treatments. Common medications include but are not limited to, acetaminophen, ibuprofen and naproxen all of which are marketed under a lot of different names. Additionally, there are many natural treatments targeted toward people seeking a more holistic approach to headache pain management.
A non-medicinal approach, or one without ingesting medication rather, is fingertip therapy. Gently massaging certain muscles, nerve areas, joints and acupressure points can relieve headache pain and also be quicker than popping a couple of pills with none of the side effects that can occur over time with the use of medication.
The first area to massage for tension or any other kind of headache is your temporalis muscle. When your teeth are clenched, it is the tender area where you feel a muscle move. Using two fingers to gently massage this area and apply pressure can help relieve pain.
Other areas include behind the large bones behind your ears, which should be done with the thumbs, between the eyes using an upward pinching motion as to feel the pressure in your eyebrows and the web of your hands in almost the same manner. The neck is another area of interest and can be massaged by alone, or with the use of a massage chair.
