Tension headaches can be alleviated by applying pressure to specific points on the body, such as the occipital bone and trigeminal nerve. Techniques like massage, tapping, and kneading can stimulate relaxation responses and promote blood flow. Understanding the anatomy of tension headaches and combining pressure points with a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, mindfulness, and balanced nutrition, can also contribute to relief. A diagram illustrating key pressure points can be a useful tool for identifying and locating these areas.
