"I'm going to be doing pressure points on the head, all going towards the crown. When you have a headache, this is a great way to relieve the stress of the headache. It might not take care of it, but it will relieve the stress of the headache. I'm using my thumbs going down the center of the back of the head. I'm going towards the crown. If we had a headache, I'd probably be staying there a little bit longer. Maybe not necessarily using my thumbs, but I can also use my middle finger or my index finger, or both and just staying there a little bit longer. Going towards the crown. When I get to the crown, I give it a nice double thumb pressure. A little pressing. Then I'm going on each side of the ear. A little bit slower than that is what I'd be doing if I had a headache. Going towards the crown of the head. I'd be repeating this several times. It doesn't necessarily have to be on exactly the same side, but coming towards the crown all the time. "
