Holiday Headache Cure

There are so many reasons why you might get a headache this holiday season. Here’s a fast, easy reflexology technique to help you get rid of a headache and prevent them in the future.

With your index finger, press the reflex area to the pituitary gland, which is located on both feet, at the base of the inner edge of the big toe, in the crease between the big toe and the second toe. You can also make tiny circles on this area for 15-20 seconds. Stimulate this area on both feet.

What is it?

The pituitary gland, which is located in the center of the skull and just behind the bridge of the nose, is one of the most important glands of the body. About the size of a pea, the pituitary gland is an important link between the nervous system and the endocrine system. It controls the functions of all the endocrine glands and releases many hormones that affect growth, sexual development, metabolism, the reproductive system, the mineral and sugar content of the blood, fluid retention, and can also affect the body’s energy levels. The pituitary gland helps to keep the body in harmony.

How can reflexology help?

Stimulating the reflex to the pituitary gland can help you maintain healthy metabolism, boost your energy, and get rid of headaches. If you’re trying to lose weight, paying extra attention to this reflex area can help your body shed those unwanted pounds. Since this gland is responsible for proper growth of the body’s organs and glands, it can be beneficial in stabilizing the growth rate in children, who may be growing too fast or too slowly. Stimulating this reflex area can also balance your 6th chakra, which can help strengthen your intuition, perception, and psychic abilities.
