Acupressure points for migraine headaches
Several acupressure points are believed to help relieve migraines. Below are some pressure points some researchers and practitioners have named as acupoints to relieve migraines:
* Acupoint 01 lies in the crease between the thumb and forefinger when those fingers are pressed together
* Acupoint 07 an indented point on the wrist that lies in line with the thumb
* Acupoint 12 is found in the largest crease inside the wrist in line with the thumb
* Acupoint 26 pressure is applied by pinching the nostril
* Another point that is believed to relieve headaches is called L14 – this pressure point should not be used by pregnant women because it has been known to induce labor
