Which acupoints can be massaged to relieve migraine?

Migraine is a common disease. Many patients choose to take painkillers for treatment when a migraine attacks. In fact, this method cannot completely solve the migraine problem. It may even cause gastrointestinal discomfort due to long-term use of painkillers. You must know that painkillers can cause great stimulation to the stomach and intestines. Therefore, it is recommended that patients and friends can use acupoint massage to solve the migraine problem. So which acupoint can be massaged to relieve migraine?

In addition to traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine also has a series of external treatments for migraine, including: acupuncture therapy, bloodletting therapy, abdominal acupuncture therapy, etc. At the same time, when suffering from migraine, patients can press or massage the following three acupoints in a circular motion:

Baihui point is located at the center of the top of the head, at the intersection of the line connecting the two ears and the midline of the top of the head. Baihui point is the gathering place of Qi in the whole body. Pressing this point when you have a headache can make Qi and blood flow smoothly throughout the body and effectively relieve the headache.

Fengchi point is located in the depression near the hairline under the occipital bone behind the ear. This point has the function of clearing away heat and reducing fire, promoting the flow of qi and blood, and dredging meridians. It has a rapid analgesic effect.

Hegu point, also known as Hukou point, is located on the back of the hand, midway between the 1st and 2nd metacarpal bones. Hegu point has the effects of calming and relieving pain, promoting blood circulation and activating collaterals, clearing away heat and relieving exterior symptoms.

In addition, migraine patients should pay attention to the following in their daily lives: wear a scarf or hat to keep warm when going out in cold weather; when going from outdoors to a heated room, take off the scarf and hat first to allow the body to adapt to the temperature difference and reduce the chance of a headache. You can also take some measures to improve the circulation of qi and blood in the head and face, such as applying a hot towel to the neck for 10 to 15 minutes.

This article will stop here to introduce which acupoints can be massaged to relieve migraines. I hope it can help all patients and friends solve their headache problems. In addition, I would like to remind all patients and friends to pay attention to disease prevention in normal times and be careful not to let the head get cold, which will greatly help reduce the occurrence of migraines.
