Can You Relieve Earaches and Headaches with Acupressure?
If you would like to try acupressure to treat a headache or earache, follow these steps:
- Make sure you are in a relaxed and quiet setting, and in a comfortable position. Breathe in deeply for several breaths before beginning your treatment.
- Using a firm, deep pressure, massage the pressure points you have identified on your body. Rotate your fingers in a circular or up-and-down motion for several minutes at each point, focusing on one at a time.
- Repeat the massage treatment two or three times during the day.
Below is a list of pressure points, as well as a list of conditions each claims to treat.
When you have a headache, rubbing your temples might seem like an automatic response. According to acupressure practices, massaging the pressure points on your temples can promote blood circulation and help with headache symptoms. Try this remedy if you have a migraine, light sensitivity, or a headache caused by fatigue.
