DAITH PIERCING: MIGRAINE RELIEF AND STRESS REDUCTION

A daith piercing is located in the innermost cartilage fold of the ear, an area considered by some to be connected to the body's pressure points in traditional Chinese medicine.

This has led to a growing interest in the daith piercing as more than just a fashion statement. Discover our Daith Piercing Full Guide.

What are the symptoms of a migraine?

→ Neck pain (69% of migraineurs).

→ Disabling & recurring headaches.

→ Nausea and/or vomitting.

→ Sinus symptoms (stuffy nose & watery eyes)

→ Pain worsens when around light, noise, and/or smells.

→ Intense throbbing sensations often on one side of the head.

→ Experience aura, which are usually flashes of light, shortly before the onset of a migraine.

In today's fast-paced world, stress is an ever-present challenge, affecting both physical and mental health. Interestingly, daith piercings have also been discussed in the context of stress relief. The premise is similar to that of migraine relief—the piercing is thought to exert pressure on certain points that are linked to stress relief in acupuncture.

The idea is that the daith piercing can act as a form of continuous acupressure, a technique used in traditional Chinese medicine to promote relaxation and well-being. By targeting a specific point in the ear associated with calming the mind and easing tension, the daith piercing could potentially serve as a physical reminder to relax and breathe.

While the evidence is largely anecdotal, with no significant scientific studies to back it up, many individuals have reported a sense of calm and reduced stress levels after getting a daith piercing. These personal testimonials suggest that, for some, the piercing may indeed play a role in their overall stress management strategy.
