Relieve headache pain in a pinch

Headaches can come on at the most inopportune times.

But you know what. There's something you can do in a pinch to get rid of the pain.

I'm not talking about medications, which can sometimes have side effects. I'm talking about something very different.

I want you to make an "L" with your hand.

See the area that looks like a web. Grab that mound of flesh between your thumb and index finger and press lightly.

Slowly increase the pressure. You don't want it to hurt. Try to hold it about 30 seconds and then switch to the other hand.

You can do this three or four times in a row.

You just performed accupressure on yourself. Applying pressure along invisible meridians that flow throughout the body can help rebalance energy called chi.

Amazingly, activating this pressure point in your hand can readjust the energy all the way up to your head.
