What is the best way to relieve tension headaches?

• Answer:

  The headaches come from tight muscles in the neck and shoulders, so finding a way to relax them helps. Rolling your shoulders, neck stretches, and moving away from your work for a break helps. Also, there is EFT, which is a way to tap your face and lymph nodes--sounds and looks weird, but it can make a difference! You tap with your finger tips, much as your doctor used to tap during an examination, until the area is no longer sore. I tap the left eyebrow area, the opposite cheekbone, the collarbone and under the arm. Then do the right eyebrow, the left cheekbone, left collarbone and under the arm. Calmly do this until no soreness/headache remains.
