this is what I use all the time …I get the migraine that makes me want to throw up
Find a migraine pressure point at the fleshy part of each hand between thumb and index finger. Using thumb pad and index finger of the other hand, gradually squeeze this migraine pressure point, counting to 10, breathing deeply. Massage, feel change, and slowly release, counting to 10. 10 repetitions.
Using tips of your pointing or middle fingers, massage the points located near the inside ends of eyebrows. These points (as well as all other points in this routine, except for the first pair) should be massaged with strong, circular motions, the pressure has to be (almost) as strong as the patient can tolerate.
Few words about what we are doing here. The pressure points we are using have strong influence on the blood circulation, as they regulate blood pressure and open capillary. Therefore they work as a strong spasmolytic drugs do, relaxing tense muscles and opening capillary where they were blocked.
One of the “side effects” of this explanation is the fact, that to penetrate the pressure point, we need to apply pressure. We do it by pressing the point with the tip of the finger, or, if it is not strong enough, with the second (from the tip) joint of the (bent) pointing or middle finger.
Press with circular moves, as if you are squeezing something in a mortar. This is very important. You are not supposed to press and hold, as it will only provoke a spasm. Instead, imagine that there is a little ball at the point where you are pressing (often there is, as the muscles in the area are contracted), and you need to squeeze, or to spread it.
Also it should be noticed, that while massaging points on, say, front side of the head, you are pushing it back. And to resist this pressure, the person has to use his neck muscles, which, especially when this person has a headache, is not a good thing. To handle this problem, you can hold the person’s head, so that your middle fingers push against the pressure points, while your thumbs are supporting the head from the back (this works if you are giving massage to yourself. If you are doing it on other person, you can press the points with your thumbs, while supporting the head with the palms.
