Acupressure is the science of applying light pressure on certain areas or points on the body that correspond to various organs and muscles.

The science is based on the belief that the entire body is made up of vital energy called ‘chi’ or ‘qui’ that flows through the body along invisible lines or ‘meridians’.

This is where acupuncture can help. It not only unblocks those areas but also helps the body to function optimally.

Here are the top 10 acupressure points for relieving headaches and migraines.

1. Joining the Valley
This acupressure point can help get rid of a headache as well as provide relief from a toothache, neck pain, shoulder pain, arthritis, constipation and hangovers.

- Using the thumb and index finger of your right hand, apply deep and firm pressure on the L 14 point of your left hand for 5 to 10 seconds.
- Repeat with the other hand. Do as needed until the pain dissipates.

2. Third Eye Point
To get relief from headache, this acupressure point is also effective.
