  • Patent number: 5792174
    Abstract: A natural headache reliever using acupressure points on the scalp and upper posterior neck is disclosed. A cap-like device having an outer membrane (1) and an inner membrane (2) will be placed comfortably on the head of the wearer. The two membranes meet and are attached at their margins, thus forming an inner potential space (4) between the membranes. The inner membrane, that which will be closest to the scalp of the wearer, will contain a plurality of immobile protrusions (5) at a distance of between 10 and 20 millimeters apart. Direct pressure will be applied by the protrusions on different acupressure points on the scalp and upper posterior neck. A pump (3) will be used to create the pressure by introducing air into the potential space (4) between the inner and outer membranes. The wearer controls the duration and amount of pressure, thereby ensuring his or her comfort while alleviating the head pain.
