I have a friend who does Swedish massage, and it has worked on one of my headaches, but not the migraneous type. In all her massages at some point she pulls very gently on the head, and oh boy, can you feel the tension in the neck go! Funny that the bone above the eye was mentioned previously: she also one time very gently pulled from there too. And that was on the massage that worked. I went to her last time with a full-blown migraine, and I think I was beyond help, although I found it easier to rest when I got home. (She put some lavender in the massage oil). She works in a dimly lit room with relaxing music playing, and, if she feels it would help, an oil burner. She's going to learn aromatherapy next!

Apart from that, I relax on the bed with story tapes. You can't beat somebody reading you a story when you need to sleep!
