Target the Temples

Beyond the curve of your eyebrows, at each side of your face you will feel an indentation, almost like a hole. These are your temples, and where the next bit of pressure will be applied, again with the gentle pressure you used in step 3.

Use your thumbs or your index fingers and simply apply and hold pressure over these two points for at least 30 seconds.

It is no surprise that people often start rubbing their temples when they feel the pressure and discomfort for a headache. In fact, the point along the temples is often used for the treatment of headaches.
