Daith Piercing
Migraine Piercing

Migraines are a widespread problem

A good ten per cent of all people suffer from these debilitating headaches that also involve nausea, loss of appetite and over-sensitivity towards light and noise. Women are a little more affected by this than men. The first attacks usually begin at the age of between ten and 20 and sufferers are affected all their lives. Medication is used to try to reduce the pain, but they only have a limited effect. That is why migraine patients are constantly looking for alternatives to avoid having to spend hours or days in darkened rooms when an attack happens. As well as acupuncture, Daith Piercing offers an additional unconventional method for treating migraines.

What is Daith Piercing?

Daith Piercing is based on the insights gained from TCM and acupuncture. It is a kind of piercing that is not just effective for aesthetic purposes. It is a special body decoration applied to a small fold in the cartilage of the inner ear, precisely where the acupuncture point for prevention of migraine is located. For the Daith Piercing to be able to develop its desired effect, it has to be applied in the correct location. As it is not easy to find this extremely precise location, so anyone who wants to prevent their migraine with Daith Piercing should visit an experienced specialist in this area.

The effect of Daith Piercing

In line with the assumptions of TCM – that each point on the skin influences a corresponding region or organ in the body – Daith Piercing should also accomplish the same effect. This special piercing stimulates the point in the inner ear that corresponds with the digestive system of the body. The constant stimulation of this acupuncture point should lead to the alleviation, or even healing, of any digestion-related migraines. Experience has shown that numerous migraine patients have effectively experienced alleviation through Daith Piercing. Daith Piercing wearers even report that they perceive a reduction in tension in the neck and shoulder area along with an improvement in their general wellbeing. There is however no scientific proof of this observation to date.

Your own Daith Piercing

Even if the migraine-alleviating effect of Daith Piercing has not yet been officially confirmed, many migraine patients still venture to try and achieve some alleviation with this approach. You too can declare war on these pains by daring to have the daith pierced in your inner ear. As experienced and professional piercers we apply the piercing in a hygienic environment with sterilised equipment, always aspiring to the highest quality demands throughout the process. Should the Daith Piercing have no effect with you, you can at least enjoy wearing an attractive piece of body jewellery.
