Got a headache from Monday?

Self-Help: Reflexology for Headache Relief
In reflexology the fingers and toes correspond to the head, neck, and sinuses. When suffering from a headache you may find it helpful to work the fingers on both hands. This can be done by massaging the fingers or gently pinching or squeezing them. If you’d like, you can try “thumb walking” to work the points. To practice, hold your left hand palm side up in front of you (do this with the opposite hand if you are a lefty!). With your right hand place your thumb on top and your other fingers around the other side below. Pretend that your thumb is a caterpillar and that it is creeping across your hand like and inchworm. Here is a video on You Tube that gives a very nice demonstration of the technique. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fodggSIKBcc
