Never heard of it..sounds like it wont work though
Well I havent ever tried it but who knows? Let me know if it works! But I know if you take your thumb and press hard inbetween your eyes then that works. And if you squeeze your thub for about 30 seconds hard then that works.
ya, it can cure a headach or cool you down. it actually works
I was always told this. I have to admit, it didn’t help me personally but the only time I tried it was with a migraine headache.
A cold cloth on your forehead or the back of your neck would seem a better idea to me. Unless the headache is due to cold weather…
If the headache is caused by heat it is possible. If you are overheated, you can run cool water over your inside wrist and it will definitely cool you down.
it doesn’t work for me, and i get migraines. If i go in a cool dark quiet place it helps or if you get an ice pack.
If you are overheated, this will help to reduce body heat, and may slowly alleviate a headache. However, if your headache is caused by anything other than overheating, this treatment will be ineffective. The only headache that has anything to do with body temperature, and the resulting high blood pressure, is a migraine, and you would have to practically ice down the veins in your wrist for hours to reduce body temperature and blood pressure far enough to stop a migraine. However, if you do have a headache, cooling your wrists, in conjunction with other treatments, may lead to somewhat quicker recovery.
