How to Rid Yourself of a Tension Headache

The traditional headache points in Chinese medicine have been used for thousands of years and are effective (time—about a minute):

1. Massage the traditional headache points at the indents where your neck meets your head, move up to the ridge of the skull, and massage all across the back of that ridge, rubbing hard with a circular motion.

2. Place your fingers at the bottom of your neck, next to your spine. Push in on the back of your neck with a circular massage.

3. Maintaining pressure, drag your fingers out to the sides of your neck.

4. Repeat, moving up a notch higher. Work your way up to the top of your neck.

Spinal Flush

Spinal Flush (Neurolymphatic Massage)

Energize!
Strengthen your immune system!
Reduce built up stress!

How? Find a friend and:

1) Lie face down or stand three to four feet from a wall and lean into it, your hands supporting you. This helps stabilize your body while a partner applies pressure to your back.

2) Have your partner deeply massage the notches between each vertebra, about an inch on either side of your spine, from the base of your neck to the bottom of the sacrum. (If you are too gentle or tentative, this procedure can be counter productive.) The thumbs or middle fingers should be used to apply deep pressure in a circular motion for at least three seconds on each point.

3) After reaching the sacrum, repeat the massage or complete it by "sweeping" the energies down their body. (With an open hand, sweep from shoulders to feet two or three times.)
