21. For headaches, use a pencil.
We’re not talking about stabbing yourself in the head with a pencil, but an intense headache can make you want to do just that. This medicine is intended to treat tension headaches caused by stress and anxiety, and it is especially beneficial for people who clench their jaws.
Biting down on a pencil is one approach to relax your jaws. It creates a gap between the jaws so that they don’t collide and may take a break. You’ll feel good in no time if you do this while taking a few deep breaths and listening to some country music.
