We all get headaches from time to time, so learn this ancient technique, based on using points from Traditional Chinese Medicine, located at the back of your skull and free the pain of the headache, PLUS get the added bonus of a “buzz” as you bring fresh energy to the brain and head! On top of these benefits, it only takes 1 minute to achieve this relief. Give it a try—you have nothing to lose but the headache….
1. Place both middle fingers on either side of the vertebrae at the base of the skull where the skull attaches to the neck. From the middle of the neck move your fingers out over the large tendon and you will feel small indents on both sides of the neck that are tender. Rub these points with pressure that takes you to your edge. Now move out from the center along the ridge of the skull, continuing with firm circling motion.
2. Place all fingers together with the index fingers positioned at the base of the neck right above the shoulders, with each hand on either side of the vertebrae. With pressure, circle the area and pull your fingers from the center of the neck to the outside edge of the neck.
3. Move your fingers up another several inches and repeat, pulling from the center of the neck to the outside edge. Continue moving up the neck until you reach the bottom of the skull.
Congratulate yourself on a job well done—now you can go dance with your significant other or the dog….
