Quick relief for a throbbing head

The next time you find yourself with a pounding headache and no pain meds on hand, try this: Slide your thumbs down to the spot on the back of your head where the base of your skull meets the top of your neck, right on top of the spine. Press upward toward the skull and massage for 2 minutes or until the pain begins to subside. Acupressure experts say this stimulates the release of pain-relieving endorphins for instant relief.
