Prevent eyestrain headaches with gentle eye massage

If you are feeling some strain or tiredness in your eyes, try massaging your eyes gently. Please remember that your eyes are unlike any other part of your body so you have to take very good care of them. The same holds true when it comes to massaging your eyes as well.

* When you massage your eyes take care to use only the soft balls of your fingers.

* Do not use your finger tips because your nails could give you scratches.

* The best fingers to massage your eyes with are the three middle fingers, which are the fingers between your thumb and the little finger.

* Place the balls of your fingers on you're your eye brows and gently press down.

* Please remember to be gentle; we are not talking about a major massage therapy here.

* Now let your fingers roll down around your eyes making gentle circling movements.



* The motion should start from the eye brows and end at the corners of the eyes near the nose bridge.

* Repeat this two or three times and you can feel your eye muscles relax.

* It is a good idea to this at least five or six times a day if you are working at something that gives a lot of strain to your eyes.
