It’s been one heck of a year, and I’m super excited to tell you all about it. I cannot stress enough that this piercing may not be for everyone.
I am not a medical professional and am not giving medical advice. I’m onlysharing my experience in hopes someone may find it useful.
Your Sinus Headache Could Actually Be A Migraine Headache
After oneyear, I feel like the best way to approach this update is to give you what I would consider being the pros and cons of having this migraine piercing.
I’m going to keep it real. This piercing is kind of a pain in the–well, ear. But for the migraine relief I’ve experienced, I’m obviously just dealing with it. Small price to pay, in my opinion. But here goes:
For my daith anniversary, I decided to see Hershey and swap my jewelry. (She’s such a doll. Huge thanks for her letting us take video to share!)
Myth Busting: Daith Piercings Cure Migraines
I opted for a small bar with a flat back on one side. I figured this would make wearing earbuds easy again.
It was so weird. The pressure actually felt kind of good. But, it ended up getting infected, swelling and causing a decent amount of pain.
While cleaning it, the bead popped off and I put my old horseshoe back in. Within 24 hours the pain and swelling aregone.
Trying Daith Piercing For Migraines After 20 Years Of Pain
Even the infection seems to be 90% cured. I’ve been using heated salt water on a cotton ball 3x/day for just twodays.
Basically, this area seems super sensitive to infection. I think I might try a smaller horseshoe or explore another curved barbell with a flat back after this is totally cleared up.
None of the piercing pain comes close to the pain of a migraine headache. And being medication–and therefore side effect–free is priceless.

Top 10 Home Remedies For Sinus Infection, Pressure, And Pain
Thanks for sharing your experience. I just got mine. To be honest, I am a little bit concerned because I got a bump like you did (day 93), how did you manage to remove it? your ear looks pretty clear (day 360)
Hi Lally, I would definitely suggest showing your piercer first. Then, cleaning it well three times a day with the salt water solution. If you get a fever, go to your doctor. I hope it heals soon!
I have had both of mine for 3 yrs, went from having 20 or more tandem migraines a month to 7 in the last 3 yrs. They did take a long time to heal but so worth it!!! I have had a bunch of friends get them after seeing how much it has helped me. Even my doctors are telling patients about my success. I went from 6 different meds to help my migraines to drug free!!!
Metro Detroit Women Use Piercing For Migraines
When I had a full month of migraine pain every day - while taking a monthly migraine shot - I was ready to do the daith piercings. The person doing the piercings would only do one ear at a time. Right side was first, still had pain and was so disappointed. The next week I did the left side. Two days later - no more pain! It has been amazing!!! I did not expect it to work at all and figured I would be back at my neurologist's office, trying some other med. I'm aware that the piercings aren't going to work for everyone. I wish it would! May you all find relief - it's such a horrible, maddening, depressing thing.
I was just introduced to this type of piercing by a coworker. I’ve had migraines since I was in elementary school, it’s one of my first memories of school. I currently take the maximum dosage of prevention medication according to my neurologist, a medication once I get a migraine, plus a nausea medication. I was talking a shot that seemed to be helping too but now that I don’t have insurance I can’t afford it. So I’m looking into the daith piercing. I’m praying it works.
I recently started having menstrual migraines. Out of curiosity has anyone tried the daith piercing for that? I am having trouble finding a medication that works, and my period is starting to move around so it is becoming difficult to know when it is coming. The migraine comes with vomiting and extreme fatigue.

Migraines have been plaguing my life for almost twenty years now. I’ve had periods of relief but for the last yearthey’ve been back at least weekly.
It’s becoming sort of a trend lately. With an outrageous amount of people suffering from migraines–I think the last stat I read said 1 in 4 Americans suffer from Migraines–it’s no wonder we’re desperate for relief.
Daith Piercing For Migraines: Do They Really Help?
There is no science (yet) to back up the claim that the daith piercing helps migraines, but in my case I figured I didn’t have much to lose.
There is a pressure point that acupuncturists target located on the daith that has been found to relieve the pain caused by migraines and severe headaches.
Migraine symptomscan be really unique to an individual and since this daith piercing seems to help mine, I think it’s important you know exactly what mine are like.
Health Benefits Of Ear Massages
I called around to a couple of tattoo/piercing shops in my area and found Big Al’s Tattoo Piercing Galleryin Chicago Ridge, Illinois.
They made sure I knew there was no guarantee this would help my migraine symptoms and that only about half of the people they’ve tried this with have had some relief.
She asked me exactly what I wanted to be comfortable and asked what I’d like her to say as she’s doing the piercing.
Ear Piercing For Migraines
I chose “take a deep breath.” (LOL) I honestly didn’t really know what to expect, but I’ve had some fairly sensitive areas pierced in the past so I wasn’t too concerned.
What was amazing was I felt INSTANT relief in my head. I intentionally got piercedwith a migraine to really test this out.
The aura had already lifted and I did take 800 mg of Ibuprofen about an hour prior (during the aura)–which I would NOT suggest before a piercing due to possible issues with bleeding.
Pressure Points For Ears
I wasn’t sure if I was going to actually get there and didn’t want to leave the migraine totally untreated because that renders me useless for days.
The migraine didn’t totally go away but I noticed definite relief. My head felt lighter as if some of the pain and pressure was alleviated.
If you’re intimidated by the piercing process, you’re certainly not alone. If you’d rather try a supplement, I’ve had great success with

Ear Piercings With Acupuncture Benefits
Best thing i have learned so far on headached is candida (yeast build up in the body) mold is bad right well what we consume has tons of it especislly if it isnt organic meats ! I stopped drinking alcohol and eating carbs even starchy veggies snd most fruits ! They have books snd cleanses on this subject! But still would love to get my daith pierced!!! I am a believer!
I was wondering if you need to get the piercing on the side you have the headaches. I sleep on that side so it would be uncomfortable. Thank you for this great article.
As I'm doing research about daith piercing, I'm getting mixed reviews from people. idk if it really helps migraines. There is a site that says something different. Really confused now.
