StudentHi All,
My mother is a migraine sufferer, and her friends have been telling her about going to the ear piercing shop to get that ridge of cartilage in the middle of the pinna pierced (Hence a bunch of wild and hip septuagenarians, reliving their twenties, lol). Apparently, her friends have had great relief from this. Has anyone else done it? Did it help? Thanks.

ModeratorI am an Naturopath and Acupuncturist and I have seen it work, but I do not believe it is the best way. There is a new course about ready to be put on line from Dr. Jones and myself. This course will cover working with Headaches including Migraine Headaches, and many other conditions. Lets teach you how to help your mother’s headaches

Homestead InstructorNo. The Auricular therapy curse will be a separate school. But it will be hosted here on HomeSteadAcademy.com.
Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

StudentHello! I am a Nurse Practitioner and have had several patients get the Daith piercing and have reported moderate relief from headaches. However, several of them have said that it over time their pain seems to return.

Homestead InstructorI’ve also heard that Daith piercing can sometimes be beneficial for headaches. But the entire point of it seems counter to principles of acupuncture.
Acupuncture, acupressure, auriculotherapy etc… all function on the principle of stimulating a specific point. It seems to me that a permanent piercing of that point with its subsequent healing and/or scarring would make future stimulation of the point less effective. I think that’s why those piercings often don’t continue to work long term.
Another useful tool for chronic headache resolution is vibration. The Rezzimax Tuner is often remarkably effective.
