Aesthetic specialist Dr. Jane Leonard has shared a unique way to relieve the throbbing pain in your head with the use of a common school item.
Ease your headache by holding a pencil between your teeth but do not clench down on it. This technique, according to Dr. Leonard, is an exercise that will effectively relax your chewing muscles, which are undergoing a spasm when you experience headaches. The expert says that tension headache is brought about by the spasms of the face, scalp, neck and jaw muscles.
She explained, “Patients often hold their temples to indicate where the source of the pain is. This is due to spasm of a fan-shaped muscle found across the temples spreading the back of the head called temporalis.”
Defined by Mayo Clinic as a diffuse, mild to moderate pain in the head that’s often described as feeling like a tight band around your head, the tension-type of headache is the most common type of headache.
