    Default Reflexology

    Here's the story.

    Today, about an hour ago, I had the NASTIEST headache known to man. It ached so bad, I couldn't do anything. Couldn't use the PC without it hurting, couldn't try and sleep without it hurting, nothing.

    I picked up a book that my mother gave me about common pains that you may get (Headaches, stomach aches, back aches, etc etc) and extensive ways of how to get rid of them.

    It said something about taking the index finger and the thumb of one hand and pressing it into the fleshy part in between the thumb and index finger of the other. I was skeptical, like 'Pff, ****ing bullshit, I don't believe this one bit', but I done it anyway, seeing as it was so easy.

    I done this and almost instantly my headache went away, completely. I was like WTF?! How?!

    I typed it in Google and came up with Reflexology, that's the name of it, and apparently it helps with other things too.

    Have you guys heard of this? Have you ever used it? What else can it be used for?

    @Manic

    I'm still trying to understand if that was a negative or positive take on my post.

    I believe it was something like "Boom Headshot, you owned the guy.".

    But you just never know, it's Manic after all.

    its a pressure relieve point, if you squeeze the middle part of your nose where its all bony it relieves it even faster which is what i always do when i get pressure headaches

    I considered making the suggestion that anyone with a headache should jab their temples with their index fingers as hard as they can, but at the moment there's no one that I dislike in this thread.

    putting pressure on your philtrum for 30 seconds or so gets rid of hiccups.

    that comes under reflexology too.

    and it works!

    this is ancient ninja black magic if you ask me.
