Thanks for the Tension headache advice I been fighting Tension Headache's for a very long time!!! I will try the advice u gave in this video!!! Thanks for the video!!!

@LittleLyndsay79 No problem. I also got substantial relief from using my thumb to apply very deep pressure to the front, sides, and base o my neck. I had to push really hard, and even grab my elbow to get more pressure; it hurt super bad, but my neck was insanely tense and I feel better today. Give it a shot! Also, should your jaw be tense, try and keep it relaxed throughout the day.

@LittleLyndsay79 Thanks missgrafix. Check out my other youtube channel at TMJHeadache411. I have a ton of great information up there... its primarily focused around tension headaches from TMJ or teeth grinding, but there's still a ton of stuff on there that will help you out.

would like to know where you got the tincture or the full ingredient list, I have had a headache since March 2007 and they can't decide it it's tension or migraine or both.

@1kamh I got mine from a local apothecary/tea shop. Since then, however, I have kind of noticed that the tinctures only helped treat the symptoms and if you really wanna get better, you need to address the root cause

what could be the cause of chronic tension headaches? is it tight muscles perhaps? posture?

[FTE666]

@TheYaom Its different for everyone, but mine are caused from grinding my teeth. If you hurt a lot in your temporal region, than it may be your cause as well. Other side effects of TMJ are dizziness, hearing problems, tooth wear... if you have any of these, get checked out!

weed helps.

[MsLaBajo]

@FTE666 Actually not true at all. Nervines actually help by relaxing the muscles and toning the nervous system, relaxing the system is undoing the tension, so it's not masking symptoms, it is holistically treating the illness.

I feel like head pain is taking over my life and once I have got though a days work I really don't wanna do anything else anymore.. it sucks like hell -_-

What do tension headaches feel like? Is it like a shooting pain? Or feeling like you have something weighing down on your head? That's what I feel.

Those neck stretches are great. I had tension headaches several times a week for 15 years, and finally a doctor prescribed Elavil for them, They stopped overnight. Now I get a tension headache maybe once every two months. Thank you for posting this.

am just wondering, is there by any chance do u guys have this sore sensation when u press the top of ur head and from right side of ur ear to ur left side? i just got to know from another masseur that the tightness was due to the swelling on the top of the head hence it causes the muscle to be tight..

[TheYaom]

do u get neck or upper back pain?
