Curing Headaches With Sinus Pressure Points

Know your sinus points and use the acupressure method to treat yourself and rid yourself of the pain.

The best thing about the acupressure method is that it has no side effects. It is something that you can do completely on your own and if you are doing it properly, you can get almost instant relief. The following points describe the steps in detail. Try doing; you'll be glad that you did.

1. First of all you have to get a clear idea of where your sinuses really are.

For this I recommend that you lie down on a flat surface preferably without the support of a pillow.

The next thing you should do is run your fingers gently over your face, taking note of the various rises and falls.

Now let your fingers linger in the portion above your eyes but just below the eyebrow.

Feel the bone over there and let your fingers sense out a notch in that bone. This space extends from there towards the nasal bone.

This is your first sinus point

2. Now let your fingers trail down further until they reach the depressions on both sides of the nose halfway between the eyes and your mouth.

This is your second sinus point.

3. Now what you have to do is apply pressure to these sinus points.

You have to be careful when you do this and please take care to use only the soft balls of your fingers and not the tips, which may have long nails.

4. First of all apply pressure gently.

You might experience a particular pricking sensation as you do.

If it hurts, stop immediately.

If not, you may continue applying more and more pressure until it becomes uncomfortable.

5. Then gently let go and lie there for a minute experiencing the pain fading away.

6. Repeat this with the second sinus point.

Remember that, if your sinuses are infected, these regions will be slightly swollen.
