headache-b-gone

i'm posting this for an online friend who wondered about drug-free headache relief. it's an acupressure technique that always helps me.

you spread your thumb out from the rest of your hand so that the web is stretched out. then you find the magic spot and press hard. i usually bend my thumb so i can use my knuckle, squeezing with my index finger from the other side.

you have to do it hard. it will likely hurt. hold on to it as long as you can bear the discomfort from the squeezing. if you've found the right spot, the pain from your headache should recede almost instantly.

i swear it works.

i think it only works because you're so busy whining about the pain in your hand that you forget about the pain in your head.

You can also run real fast and hard into a brick wall, and then you won't worry too much about only your head.
