Get Rid Of Headaches By Massaging

Headache


Some individuals suffer from chronic headaches. They may find that they are taking pain medication on a daily basis. Since it is best for our bodies not to be constantly medicated, you may want to try massaging to get rid of your headache. This is natural. It doesn't cost any money, and it's a great way to stimulate your body in to healing itself.


Instructions


1. Review a reflexology foot and hand chart (see Resources). These charts show you which areas need to be messaged in order to get rid of your headache. You can use that as a visual guide. The tips of your fingers and the tips of your toes are the spots you are going to need to massage in order to relieve your headache.








2. Begin messaging the tip of the thumb on your right hand with the thumb on your left hand. Do this by applying pressure and moving your thumb in a circular motion.


3. Move on to the tips of your fingers on your right hand. Do each one for at least one minute again applying pressure with the thumb from the left hand. Message in a circular motion.


4. Switch hands. Now you want to message your left thumb with your right thumb. Then move on to the tips of your fingers on your right hand.


5. Head down to your feet and message each toe near the tip. Apply pressure and move your thumb around the tip of each toe in a circular motion. Do this for at least one minute on each toe.
