Massage


Gentle massage of the neck muscles, particularly with aromatic oils, often helps. Please note, however, that some oils can be poisonous (toxic) in large quantities and can be harmfil during pregnancy or with conditions such as epilepsy. Rubbing the area with liniments can also help - these produce a feeling of warmth and reduce pain. Some liniments available over the counter contain capsaicin (an extract of the capsicum, or pepper, plant), and a similar stronger preparation is available on prescription.
