Techniques for relieving teething discomforts

Hi, I'm writing from Germany. I have an 8 month-old daughter, who has just sprouted her first tooth. I am wondering about some techniques to relieve her discomfort. Is there a specific massage that would help? A certain reflexology or pressure point? I already give her homeopathic teething tablets as needed, and when she lets me, I massage her gums directly with a clean finger. She is not a big fan of having things in her mouth, so teething rings, cool cloths and other things that usually help babies, are not really helpful for her. She often massages the outside of her bottom lip or sometimes chews on her fingers, but that's not done often. I would appreciate some help in soothing the pain through this teething period. Thanks so much!
