Massage for Relieving Headaches

What's the best massage for relieving headaches? The answer may surprise you.

The best massage for relieving headaches is almost never a scalp massage. It's almost always a neck massage. Massaging the neck, particularly massaging the neck with gentle heat, increases circulation to the head that relieves headache.

If your headaches are caused by tension and stress, here's what to do.

First of all, breathe in a little lavender oil aromatherapy. The most economical and effective way to do this is to use a ChiActivate aromatherapy nebulizer. The moment the scent of lavender reaches your nose, a pain-relief reflex is activating. The essential oil alone will go a long way toward relieving your headache.

Next, try gentle massage of your neck and shoulders. ChiSoft has a number of great home massage devices that can literally roll your headaches away, as the warming jade stones gently warm your neck and shoulders for greater circulation to your head, making that headache a thing of the past.
