THE PENCIL HACK TO CURE A HEADACHE
Ever feel a tension headache creeping in? Instead of reaching for painkillers, grab a pencil!
Holding a pencil between your teeth (without biting down) forces your jaw muscles to relax, disrupting the tension that contributes to headaches.
When we’re stressed, we unconsciously clench our jaw, straining the temporalis muscle. This simple trick interrupts that cycle and can relieve pain in seconds!
Next time your head starts pounding, ditch the aspirin and give this weirdly effective hack a try.
