Finding pressure points on your head and face can help with all sorts of pain and ailments. Your head and face are crammed with sensitive nerves. They surround your skull that houses your most important organ, the brain.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Start at the temples. These are the flat surfaces of the skull to the side of both eyes. Press the point on the side of your head about a half an inch back of the end of your eyebrow. Press both temples simultaneously in a circular motion.
Step 2

Move your fingers inward along your eyebrows. Press the points where your eyebrows end on the inside. These pressure points should be about a half an inch apart just above the bridge of your nose.
Step 3

Place a finger directly between your eyes. Move it straight up your forehead until your reach your hairline. If you are a man with a receding hairline, stop where your hairline used to be. Press the point at the top of your forehead.
Step 4

Trace your fingers outward along your hairline. Press the points all along the border between your hair and your forehead. There are pressure points across this line down to the temples. Alternate working your fingers in a circular motion and pulling them across your head with constant pressure.
Step 5

Place your fingers at the corners of your eyes. Draw they straight back until they hit your ears. Press the points in the gap just above the end of your cheek bones. Apply pressure in a circular motion.
