The Instant Headache Cure

The Instant Headache Cure ­Joseph Corvo's 7 Point Plan

The aim of this 7 point, 7 minute programme is to eliminate both the pain and the cause of your headache. So the next time you have a headache or migraine or hangover, instead of trying to numb the nerves with a pill, just push the pain out through the top of your head by following these instructions. It is surprisingly easy to do.

1. First, relieve the pain by pressing the roof of your mouth with your thumb, starting by pressing the middle of the roof of the mouth for thirty seconds, then pressing for thirty seconds on either side. Fourthly, press the roof of the mouth underneath the area of pain for the same length of time. For example, if the pain is around your left temple, press the area of the roof of the mouth directly behind the left canine tooth. If, on the other hand, the pain seems to be at the back of your skull, press the back of the roof of the mouth. If the pain seems to stem from the sinuses surrounding your right eye press the roof of the mouth at the front on the right.



2. Take the tips of the fingers of the left hand and press under the fingertips of the right hand. Put on as much pressure as you can for thirty seconds. Then take the tips of the fingers of the right hand and press under the fingertips of the left hand, also for thirty seconds.

A quick and easy way of relieving pain.

Alternatively, if you have an aluminum comb, press it on to the fingertips as near to the fingernails (and thumbnails) as possible for thirty seconds on each hand.

3. The most direct approach to dealing with the sorts of tension and toxic build­up which cause headaches is by eliminating blockages in the pressure points on the hands.
Open the palm of your left hand to work on it with your right hand, using the thumb or first finger of your right hand to massage away the blockages which may have built up around the pressure points on your left hand.
Work on each pressure point for approximately twenty seconds, working as hard as you can with the thumb or forefinger rotating on a radius of half an inch. If a particular pressure point gives you pain, this is because it is congested; in which case continue working on it for another forty seconds.
Work on the pressure points in the following sequence:

• a The brain
• b The penial gland
• c The pituitary gland
• d The neck and cervicals

• a. the brain
• b. the penial gland
• c. the pituitary gland and
• d. the neck and cervicals.

4. Then massage the pressure points for the ears, eyes and joints of the thumbs and fingers. Inflamed or dehydrated sinuses which run along the sides of the thumbs and sinuses are one of the commonest causes of headaches, as fingers which face away from the body, and along the are eye strain and congestion of the ear:

Many headaches are caused by discomfort in the spine. Massage up and down the pressure points for the spinal column which run along the inside edge of the thumb down to the wrist; do this for thirty seconds on each hand.

6.
Hangovers and other types of headaches are caused by a build­up of toxins in the liver. These can be reduced by working on the liver pressure point on the right hand as hard as you can for thirty seconds. (See p. 25)

Another extremely effective way of eliminating toxins from the body is to massage the webbing between the thumb and the forefinger, stimulating the spot where the thumb and finger meet. Do this for one minute on each hand.

7. Finally, massage the point where the back of the head joins the neck. Working this area will clear congestion of the lymph gland which is another common cause of headaches. Massage for one minute. You will be amazed at the results.

The Zone Therapy Cure For Persistent Or Recurring Headaches
If this seven minute programme has not dealt with your headache, or if your headache regularly recurs, you may well have a more deep­seated problem, a more serious blockage somewhere in your system ­and one serious blockage will tend to have a knock­on effect on related glands and nerves throughout your body. In this case I suggest you follow the forty­five minute programme detailed below. Forty­five minutes may seem a long time, but if you pursue this programme for just a few days, you can cure yourself of persistent headaches and also rid yourself of the other more serious problems which may be developing and of which your headaches may be just advanced symptoms. Again, if your headaches do not clear up you must see a doctor.
Start by relieving the pain by pressing the roof of your mouth with your thumb as hard as you can for thirty seconds on each of the following points:
.
1 The middle

.
2 The left

.
3 The right

.
4 Underneath the area of pain


Then press an aluminum comb on to the fingertips as near as possible to the fingernails for thirty seconds:
.
1 On the left hand

.
2 On the right hand


Now massage the following pressure points for ten seconds each on the palm of your left hand:
.
1 The brain

.
2 The penial gland

.

.
39 Two inches above where the wrist joins the arm

.
40 The width of one hand above the wrist



Working over the hand in five simple, sweeping movements will eliminate recurring and persistent headaches: down the thumb, down to the inner edge of the hand, down the upper edge of the thumb, across the tops and joints of the fingers and then down through the pressure points for the major glands and organs in the palms of the hands and the wrist.
Now work on the right hand with the forefinger of the left hand. The pressure points on the right hand are the same as on the left except that pressure point 34 is here the gall bladder and liver rather than the spleen. The gall bladder is approximately a quarter of an inch to the right of the liver and approximately a quarter of an inch above it. Lastly, when you massage number 35, the descending colon on the left hand becomes the ascending colon on the right hand where it must be followed by the ileo­cecal pressure point which lies approximately a quarter of an inch below the kidney pressure point and half an inch to the left.
Now turn the left hand so that the palm is facing downwards and work on the following pressure points on the back of the left hand with your right hand; work on each pressure point for twenty seconds:
.
1 Between the nail and first joint of the thumb

.
2 In the small valley between the third and little finger

.
3 Across the back of the whole of the hand

.
4 Where the thumb joins the hand down to where the thumb joins the wrist

.
5 In the hollow where the hand joins the wrist

.
6 Six inches above the wrist



Now perform the same massage on the back of the right hand.
Turning your attention to the head, massage the following pressure points for thirty seconds each:

1 ­Where the back of the head joins the neck

Working the point where the neck meets the head.

2 ­On the top of your head in the middle

Working the highest point of the head.
3 ­The temples

Massaging the temples.
4 ­Under the eyebrows

Massaging the bridge of bone underneath the eyebrows.
5 ­In the centre of the forehead

Massaging the pressure point for the pituitary gland in the middle of the forehead.
Now massage the following pressure points on the sole of your left foot for ten seconds:
.
1 The brain

.
2 The penial gland

.
3 The pituitary gland

.
4 The neck and cervicals

.
5 The main sinus

.
6 The eye sinus

.
7 The eye sinus II

.
8 The ear sinus

.
9 The ear sinus II

.
10 The ear reflex

.
11 The ear reflex II

.
12 The eye reflex

.
13 The eye reflex II

.
14 The spinal column

.
15 The lungs

.
16 The chest

.
17 The bronchials

.
18 The parathyroid and thyroid

.
19 The stomach

.
20 The pancreas

.
21 The thymus

.
22 The central nervous system

.
23 The spleen (on right foot: 23a gall bladder, 23b liver)

.
24 The adrenal gland

.
25 The kidney

.
26 The bladder

.
27 The descending colon (on right foot: 27a ascending colon, 27b ileo­cecal)

.
28 The sigmoid colon

.
29 The sciatic nerve



Regular massage of these major pressure points on the feet, in three sweeping movements on each

foot, will help eradicate persistent problems with headaches.
Now work on the sole of the right foot. The pressure points are the same as those on the left foot except that when you have massaged pressure point number 22, the central nervous system, you must move to massage the gall bladder pressure point which is approximately a quarter of an inch below the central nervous system and half an inch to the left, and from there you must move to the liver which is adjacent on the edge of the foot. Also, after massaging no.26 the bladder, the pressure point which follows is the ascending rather than the descending colon, and then you must massage the pressure point for the ileo­cecal which lies towards the bottom of the pressure point for the bladder and approximately one inch to the left.
Now put your left foot on the ground and work on the following pressure points on the top of this foot for twenty seconds each:
.
1 On the big toe between the nail and the first joint

.
2 Where the big toe joins the foot

.
3 Behind the fourth toenail on the side closest to the little toe

.
4 Behind the outside corner of the nail on the little toe

.
5 Across the foot where all the toes join the foot

.
6 Where the foot joins or meets the leg in line with the separation between the second and third toes

.
7 In the hollow behind the outer ankle

.
8 Place your thumb on the bottom of your kneecap and stretch your hand as far down your leg as possible; where the middle fingers reach on the far side of the bone, you will find a pressure point

.
9 Place the heel of your hand on the side of your leg on the bottom of your knee; where the second finger stretches to, you will find the pressure point.



A comfortable position for massaging your own foot.

Now perform the same exercises on the top of the right foot.
Finally, perform the following relaxation exercise which is an effective way of controlling the restless, fragmented thinking and anxiety which is a big contributory factor to headaches.
You will need fifteen to twenty minutes when you know you will not be disturbed.
Make yourself comfortable by lying down on the floor and placing a telephone book under your head. Completely relax your toes, feet and ankles, your calves, knees and thighs, your stomach, chest, neck, throat, eyes, ears, scalp, shoulders, back, spine, arms, hands and fingers ­make this a pleasant sensation.
Inhale a complete breath very slowly but steadily through the nostrils. Retain this breath for twenty seconds, then expel it as vigorously as possible in one breath through your mouth. Repeat six times.
Now, breathing through the nostrils, inhale steadily, filling first the lower part of the lung by pulling your diaphragm downwards. Then push forward the front wall of the abdomen, thus filling the middle part of the lungs. Then push out the lower ribs, breastbone and chest, and finally protrude the upper chest, thus filling the top of the lungs too.
Retain this breath for thirty seconds.
Exhale slowly keeping the chest in the same position, but drawing the abdomen inwards and lifting it upwards as the air leaves the lungs. Only when the air is entirely expelled must you relax the chest and abdomen.
The predominant feeling must be that of the pain leaving your body and your mind. The power flowing through you will make this a reality.
God bless you.
