There's a Headache Pressure Point Between Your Thumb and Finger — This $13 Clip Holds It For You

When a tension headache builds at 3pm, the standard Canadian answer is the pharmacy aisle. But there's a second option people have used for centuries: the LI4 (Hegu) point, in the muscle web between thumb and index finger, is the most-studied acupressure location for head and tension discomfort. The catch: technique matters — steady, sustained pressure for 5–10 minutes — and pressing your own hand that long is tedious enough that nobody does it properly.

The clip removes the technique problem. It sits on the LI4 point and applies consistent pressure hands-free while you keep working. "Pressure point for headache" draws 2,000+ monthly Canadian searches — demand for a non-medication option that no pharmacy shelf answers.
