ACUPRESSURE – Alternative Therapy (Cure Yourself!)
An alternative therapy in which manual pressure (including finger pressure) is used to stimulate specific points on the body along what are considered to be lines of energy regulated or make the energy flow properly to recover from illness/ pain or problems in the body including organs, blood flow, muscles etc.
Acupressure is the practice of applying moderate/ medium pressure, usually with fingertips to various points on the body that is mainly for balancing life energy, called qi in Traditional Chinese or chi in the Western. These points lie along channels of energy in the body (head to toe) called meridians.

4. When pain starts right side, you can simply close the right nostril as shown in the picture 2 above (press slightly) and breathe some 10 times by left side nostril. Then breathe normally 10 times without closing nostrils. Repeat this for 2 to 3 times. Here you have double benefit (i) Your breathing triggers alternative breathing which gives more relaxation and mind control and (ii) The point where you press the nostril end is the pressure point which controls the migraine headache right side.
5. When pain starts both sides, you can simply close both the nostrils as shown in the picture 3 above (press slightly) and breathe some 10 times by mouth. Then breathe normally 10 times without closing nostrils. Repeat this for 2 to 3 times. Here you have double benefit (i) Your breathing triggers alternative breathing which gives more relaxation and mind control and (ii) The point where you press the nostrils end is the pressure point which controls the complete headache.

Just follow the below diagram to know various points and give slight pressure as mentioned above to get cured from illness or pain. Keep doing it regularly thrice a week and maintain good health.
