Repeat as necessary.

To encourage the movement of clogged mucus, massage the top of the eyebrows using your fingertips. Move from the center towards the outside of the brows. Repeat the massage several times and then lean forward. Rest your head on the elbows. In a couple of seconds, you will feel a change in pressure.
This is when you need to move with the fingertips over the eyebrows once more. Repeat until you feel relieved. When the fluid moves out of the forehead, the tension will reduce and you will feel a significant relief.
