4 Easy Ways To Relief Headache
Having headache is annoying and sometimes it is difficult for us
to avoid. Mostly when we are under pressure, headache appeared
automatically. If it gets worse, we might faint due to the pain
we felt.
A headache is a condition of mild to severe pain in the head. It
can also attack at our upper back or neck. There are different
types of headache, but most of the time headache brought on by
stress, too long in front of computer, noise and others.
One of the main causes of headache is tension in the muscles of
the neck, scalp and jaw. We usually deal with it by taking some
sleep or consume over-the counter aspirin to release our pain.
However, can we do this at any place?
Obviously, we cannot sleep at the office or at the mall. In
addition, we might run of aspirin when headache strike us.
Do not worry! The easiest way to handle headache and we can do
it everywhere is through massage. Massage is the practice of
applying pressure or vibration to the soft tissues of the body,
to heal injury, relieve psychological stress, manage pain,
improve circulation and relieve tension.
When we suffer from headache, we can help ourselves with
self-massage. Simple and everybody can do it, either at work or
home.

1. Eyes Area Massage -- Close your eyes. Place your middle
fingers to your eyes that are above cheekbones. Massage that
area gently but firmly in circular motion for 1 minute,

eyebrows (along the bone on top of eye socket). Feel where this
