Starting from the upper part to the lower part of the painful area, press strongly for 6 seconds while exhaling slowly, and repeat this 15 times. After pressing one leg, switch to the other leg.

  1. Headache

There is no need to take medicine for a headache. This rubbing method can be used for treatment. Once you have a headache, immediately press the thumbs on the left and right Taiyang points. While pressing firmly, make a rotating motion, a total of thirty-six times. Note that after each press, slightly lift the thumb, and then press again after taking a breath. This point must be noted.

For those suffering from chronic headaches or severe headaches, continuously performing this rubbing method on the Taiyang points will surely relieve your pain. However, this rubbing method is not highly effective for all types of headaches. The rubbing method on the Taiyang points has a significant therapeutic effect on headaches caused by vascular reasons, especially for headaches near the two Taiyang points.
