Forehead Headache Pain |
LI 4 is often recommended for
headaches and it is a powerful point if pressure is applied
correctly. Gently press the muscle just under the bone up against
the bone until you feel an achy sensation. Presto recommends pressing the points on
both hands to treat generalized headaches. LI 4 is
easy to reach and can be used by itself or in combination
with LV 3. |
|||||
SP 4 Is a balancing point for frontal headaches and works well in
combination with LI 4. Spleen 4 is also helps improve digestion.
If you have a sensitive stomach, nausea, or occasional acid reflux
your frontal headache may be related to your digestive problems and
SP 4 may be especially helpful. SP 4 may also be combined with PC 6
to reduce digestive problems with or without headaches. If you are
treating a headache on both sides of the forehead use LI 4 and SP-4
on BOTH hands and feet. |

Pain on both sides of the forehead | ||||||
Press hard enough to feel an achy sensation. If you do not feel an achy sensation press around the area and try to locate the most sensitive point. | Because the thumb is stronger than the index finger we recommend using the thumb to press on the point. Women with long finger nails may prefer to use the eraser end of a pencil or the rounded end of a marker pen. | |||||
Press on each of these points until you feel a deep achy sensation. Then take 3 or 4 deep, SLOW breaths while continuing to press. Then go to the point on opposite foot or hand and repeat the same process. Work back and forth, up and down until you have pressed each point. Inhale & exhale! |
|
Wrapping your fingers around the hand or foot allows you to gradually press harder and harder until your feel a deep achy sensation. Start by pressing your right hand, then go to your left foot, then right foot, left hand, and end with repeating on your right hand. Don't forget to breath at least 3 times with each point. |

Hey! Is this supposed to work? |
No relief? Try these suggestions: 1. Check to be certain that you started by selecting the image that best matches the location of pain on your body. If you can find an image that is a better match try pressing those points. If your pain moves to a new location after you press the first set of points go back to the previous page, select the image that best matches the new pain location, and try using the new points. 2. Check the general area around the point
location by gently pressing to find the most sensitive spot.
Pressing on the most sensitive spot in the area will usually
give you the best results. 4. Try points in the same area but, on the opposite hand, foot, leg, or arm. 5. Select another pain location image that is located close to the pain location on your body. Try using these related point selections to see if you get better results6. Call your local acupuncturist and make an appointment. An individualized diagnosis may be necessary to resolve your condition. |
