Migraines. As many as one in five people are thought to suffer with the severe headaches known as migraines. An intense and extremely painful throbbing sensation, they can seriously affect a person’s life. What’s worse? There’s no real known cause or cure. But a new theory seems to be gaining in popularity at the moment.. ‘The Daith Piercing‘.

Also known as the ‘Inner Ear Piercing‘, it’s a subtle little piercing that hits a nerve and works on the principles of acupuncture. Thousands of women across the world are trying it and reporting back with excellent results. Migraines cease or at least get more manageable, apparently.

Dave Kurlander, owner of the Tempest Artistic Studio in Hopewell Junction, New York says this about Daith piercings: “I’ve had many people come to me looking for migraine relief. It’s a much cheaper alternative to medicine and even acupuncture, and many of their doctors recommend it to them, and if you’re into piercings that’s even better. Essentially it’s the same concept as acupuncture, the piercing hits a pressure point which then relieves the pressure in your head. I recommend getting it done on the ear that corresponds with the side of your head where most of your migraines hit.”

If you suffer badly with migraines, surely it’s at least worth a go…? Learn more:
