How the migraine piercing works

Many questions tend to come up about the migraine piercing, from its effect all the way to how much it hurts. However, few people think about how the migraine piercing works, even though this very important background information is worth knowing.

Stay with me, because in this article you can find out where the migraine piercing comes from, how it works, in which cases it may not help, and how it is inserted!

The origin of the migraine piercing

Indeed, acupuncture is the foundation of ancient Chinese medicine. In China, as early as the early centuries, people recognised the acupuncture points of the ear and, by regularly stimulating this area, treated organ problems that had developed. According to one of the main principles of acupuncture, illnesses are caused by blockages in the flow of life energy (Qi, or chi), so the essence of the treatment is to restore the balance of the whole body through stimulation with tiny, hair-thin needles, which are placed along the meridians (energy channels).

Wellbeing body jewellery became available in the West in the 1990s and became known, and even then mainly just as fashion jewellery. Later it was observed that in people who wore this jewel and had previously struggled with migraine complaints, the number of headaches decreased significantly or in many cases even stopped. That is when studies began to explore the migraine piercing questions that had arisen about how it works and its effect.

This is what people who already have a migraine piercing have experienced

According to the feedback we have received, as a result of the migraine piercing:

• pain decreased / went away
• their general wellbeing improved
• migraine attacks occurred less often
• migraine appeared in a much milder form

It is important to note that for many of our guests the migraine piercing has helped not only with migraine, but also with the following headaches:

· tension

· cluster

· weather-sensitive

· hormonal

Problems with how the migraine piercing works – in this case it does not help

Rarely, but it can happen that the migraine piercing does not bring the expected effect. This is most often caused by the specialist’s inaccuracy, which is why it is important to choose a studio where with precise location the place of the migraine piercing is determined.

There may also be cases when the migraine is so strong that it is not enough to place the piercing in only one ear ; in that case a wellbeing body jewel can go into both ears.

The migraine piercing can even be with the Shenmen piercing combined; in that case, thanks to the combined power of the two body jewels, the positive effect can be experienced in a much higher percentage.

This is how the insertion takes place

At the Medical Piercing studio we first have a little chat, during which I also carry out the assessment . This is important so that I can assess all your needs regarding the piercing, and whether it is really worth having a migraine piercing done. Of course, during the assessment I examine the condition of your ear and ask you about your complaints, and if you have had any medical history related to migraine, we cover that too.

Determining the place of the migraine piercing requires a thorough preliminary examination and point location. This is the longest part of the process, and that is exactly why the piercing itself is short and takes only a few moments. By the way, the device-assisted measurement is used to determine where the migraine piercing goes, so we can be one hundred per cent sure that the jewellery goes in the right place.

The piercing itself is only a a feeling like an insect bite. However, we must not forget that the perception of pain also depends on the individual! That is also why I don’t let you go straight away; after the piercing we chat a little more while you are still in the chair, until you feel better. Meanwhile, we also I observe the condition of the migraine piercing site and how you feel.

Your first migraine piercing will be jewellery made of medical-grade metal sterilised in an autoclave . If everything went well during the piercing, I let you go home with it and with your guarantee card. After that, you regularly receive information from me by e-mail, for example about how to care for the migraine piercing site.

I think it is important not to leave my guests on their own later on either, which is why I contact you after 2 weeks to see whether everything is fine, whether you feel any effect as a result of how the migraine piercing works, and to talk about the next steps; what’s more, the I will add you to my private Facebook migraine group, where you can get in touch with others in the same situation and share experiences.

Our wellbeing piercings do not count as a cure and do not replace medical treatment; the description of their effectiveness is based on our guests’ feedback.
