Stop a Headache With Acupressure Massage
Acupressure is massage which applies finger pressure to acupuncture meridian points to relieve pain and promote healing. It is a gentler, more modified form of acupuncture. If you are suffering from a headache, follow these steps. Hold each acupressure point for up to two minutes.

2. Slide your fingers to the top of your eye sockets. Apply pressure. Move your fingers to the side of your eye sockets toward the outside of your eye. Apply pressure again.
3. Press your fingers between and about 1/4 inch above your eyebrows. Apply pressure. Slide your fingers up 1 inch, and apply pressure.
