Relieve your tension headache naturally
Facial reflexology gestures against tension headaches to swiftly release helmet-like pain.
Recommended tools
The Double mini yin roller
Freshness and dispersion to treat the cause of the band headache with the Mini-rake – Yin cylinder nº219.
The band headache always has a deep cause. Before acting, identify the organ involved: the stomach (left side) or the liver (right side).
Then rake the corresponding nasolabial fold fifty times with the yin mini-rake in gentle and regular sweeping movements. This gesture gradually relaxes the organ in question and releases the general muscle tone, often at the origin of this feeling of a tight circle around the head.
If heat appears during the treatment, turn the tool over. The brass yin cylinder refreshes and disperses excess energy with immediate and welcome gentleness.

The Little-hammer yin-yang
Relaxation and precision to release the temporal muscles with the Little-hammer yin-yang nº128.
Begin with the yin side (metal mini-rods) and tap with infinite lightness on the temples, two minutes on each side. This yin gesture brings immediate relief and surprising pleasure, far from classical percussion.
The temporal muscles relax, the feeling of a circle begins to loosen.
Then turn the tool over. With the rubber tip, stimulate the formula 37· 39· 156· 65· for thirty seconds per point starting on the right side.
These points act in synergy to treat the deep cause and anchor relief over time.
Yang then yin, precision then relaxation. The band headache has no choice.

The Detector – Smooth sphere
Precision and expertise to target the key points with the Detector – Smooth sphere nº101.
Have you completed a Dien Chan training? This step is for you.
With the tip of the Detector, precisely stimulate the bqc·points of the formula 37· 39· 156· 65·, adjusting the pressure until the person perceives the slight discomfort characteristic of the sensitive point (and not mere pressure).
Thirty seconds per point are sufficient.
Finish by gently rolling the small sphere over the temples, ten rapid sweeps without pressing. This gentle, cool contact closes the protocol with all the finesse it requires.
If cranial pressure persists despite the treatment, return to scalp raking and let the nervous system breathe before going further.

Additional tips
Always begin with gentle scalp raking before applying the point formula. This preliminary anti-stress step relaxes the muscles and prepares the nervous system to fully receive the protocol.
In an emergency without a tool to hand, rub the temples vigorously with closed fists. This instinctive gesture is actually very consistent with facial reflexology: the hands are reflected on the temples according to the shape similarity reflex diagram, and this direct stimulation quickly relieves the pressure.
For daily self-care, advise using the Little-hammer on the temples (yin side, mini-rods) for two minutes on each side, at the first signs of tension. A simple and effective gesture to integrate into the evening routine.
Frequently asked questions
How do you differentiate a tension headache from a migraine?
A tension headache produces bilateral pain described as a band, helmet or horizontal bar — without nausea or light sensitivity. Migraine is generally unilateral, throbbing, and accompanied by nausea and sometimes a visual aura. The reflex protocols differ: formula 37·39·156·65· for tension, formula 41·39·73·34· for migraine.
Can this protocol be used preventively?
Yes, it is even recommended. A weekly preventive treatment combined with a daily 5-minute self-care session for people prone to chronic headaches can considerably reduce the frequency of episodes by regulating the state of the nervous system in depth.
