Newly discovered acupuncture points come up every now and then. There is one new point that is very effective for headache and migraine sufferers. I teach my patients to use acupressure on this point to help relieve their headaches and migraines. The point is called “Che Qian” and it is located on the arm. Ask your practitioner to show it to you!
