Does anyone use Tiger Balm (or similar product) for headaches?
Has NE1 had any luck with the use of a topical analgesic product like Tiger Balm for migraines or other various types of headaches? I am particularly interested in its use for headaches due to stress, eyestrain, dehydration or from lack of (quality) sleep.
I have had some moderate success when I apply it under my nostrils, at my temples, across the forehead and between the eyebrows.
Does NE1 know of any Acupoints (accupuncture) points for the various types of headaches that I’ve described?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki
/Acupuncture_point
For lack of sleep: Heart 3 (With the elbow flexed, at the medial end of the transverse cubital crease [elbow])
For eyestrain: Bladder 2 (put your finger on the side of your nose, and move it up until you hit the eyebrow. That place where you feel pressure, that’s BL2)
For migraines: Stomach 8 (At the corner of the forehead, 0.5 cun posterior to the anterior hairline, 4.5 cun lateral to the anterior midline) [What that means is take your hand and line up the PIP joints (proximal interphalangal joints). Put this on the midline of your face. Where that ends, that’s about 4.5 cun later to the midline. Now find your “hairline” (if you’re hairline is closer or further than what is considered “normal” or “average”, then estimate where the hairline would be) and go about 1/4 above that.
