So I was taught a lesson in how to get rid of a migraine in 30 seconds and omfg listen my migraines donât go away ever but I was shown what part of my body to touch and like???????????????
Itâs witchcraft????????? Like I would be burned at the stake if I lived in ye olde days knowing that information?????
What the fuck??????
Spill it! LolâŚ.Hooooowwwww?? Had migraines since age 9âŚ.đđđ
Its called the T4 push, but I literally canât find the info online????? I guess Iâm not searching good enough? These medical fuckers are holdin out on us lol.
Itâs best to have someone do this for you while you stand up and relax your muscles as best you can, but if youâre alone, a tennis ball and a flat surface will probably work. Alternatively you can lie on the edge of a bed at the pressure point. (But no really do try to find someone to do it for you)
Find the area in your spine between either the first, second, third, or fourth vertebrae. It should be sore and uncomfortable to press down on, so look for the one thatâs most painful, and press down with as much pressure as you can on that area for 30 seconds.
Realize that 80% of your pain has magically disappeared and keep the info secret if you live in a small puritan town, lest you be tried for witchcraft.
If you donât have to worry about being burned or hanged, then share the info with your migraine suffering friends.
As someone who wrote a 10k word paper on pressure points for a high belt ranking test in her martial arts class, I can tell you that you just found a pressure point used in acupressure and acupuncture to relieve pain, particularly that in the head. :)
Hand to god we discovered this by accident when my husband was rubbing my neck and I nearly collapsed it felt so good
This post was sent by literal angels??? Iâve had a persistent low-level headache for nearly 24hrs and now itâs gone??? In 30 seconds? What gods did you sacrifice to for this information!?!?
As a medical massage therapist, I thought I would give my two cents.
This is good for tension migranes and normal migraines, but actually pretty useless for sinus migraines. Itâll help for a hot second, but quickly come back. (These are usually the migraines behind your eyes, in your ears, and behind your forehead. Sometimes it can feel like jaw pain or TMJ) for sinus migraines, behind the ear in a divot. Press down firmly and pull towards your collarbone. Thatâll drain your sinuses. Also, pressing around the eye socket on the cheekbones help. There is also a little triangle up away from the eye in the eyebrow bone. Press and hold pretty hard and thatâll relieve that behind the forehead pain. Also, ear pulling is great to help move sinuses around.
Donât forget the temples too! Press firmly and hold. Open and close your jaw while holding your temples. Itâll feel weird, but itâll help with jaw pain. Itâll work a similar way if you hold the jaw joint under your cheekbone.
And never underestimate the power of a foot massage!! Give minutes can be all the difference!! Our feet are our base. If they hurt even a little, somewhere else in your body will hurt. Treat your feet and sinuses kindly!
Reblogging to save my own life and maybe yours too.
@deadcatwithaflamethrower for when you get migraines that are not allergy-related?
I use all of these tricks already, and they truly do help. Just not long-term for meâI get visual migraines that seem to be based on the fact that I am a double-blue-coned person living in a tri-cone personâs world, i.e. staring at monitors definitely not built for that. After a while my eyes just get fed up, even with professional photography-level calibration done to the screen.
(My tension headaches are because I will fuck up my ENTIRE BACK due to old childhood habits of tensing all the way up because my ex-mother made lifeâŚstressful. I can soothe them with the T4 spot but unless the other tension is addressed itâll flare back up later that day.)
All of the sinus tricks listed above do help. Hereâs an extra:
SINUS HEADACHE SUFFERS! Boil water. Pour said water into a bowl that is large enough to hold the water, and that you can put your whole face over it. Add 2 bags of chamomile, 2 bags of blackberry, and 2 bags of mint tea. Toss a towl over your head and lean over the bowl (make sure youâre leaning so your head is tilted down and forward, like your chin is trying to rest on your chest). You are now in the process of steam-cleaning your sinuses, and @jabberwockypieâ will angrily confirm for anyone who asks that yes, this method does indeed work.
If you do chamomile by itself (if youâre not allergic to ragweed anyway) itâll help to open/clean your pores.
