While many people choose to invest in piercings because they are cute and trendy, did you know that some actually have benefits? It’s true, certain piercings have acupunctural benefits and can help with relaxation, chronic pain relief, allergy relief, and muscle tension relief! However, given that many are unaware of these benefits, they fail to consider piercings as a potential remedy for these issues. With that in mind, the following is an examination of the notion that daith piercings can be used to help migraines.
What are Daith Piercings?
Daith piercings are located on the fold of the cartilage that is located right above the ear canal. While this piercing is considered trendy it has also been said to help treat migraines. However, if you are considering getting one, you should also be aware of the following risks that come with this piercing:
- Rejection: Sometimes the body rejects piercings. Although there are no guarantees, just be aware that your body may recognize your piercing as a foreign object and attempt to expel it from the body.
- Allergic Reactions: Your body may also have an allergic reaction. If your piercing becomes red, itchy, swollen, or blistered, and it lasts for days or weeks, you may have an allergic reaction.
- Tearing/Catching: Another major thing to beware of is the fact that your new piercing will likely get caught on your clothing. Until you get used to it, and even after you do, you have to be very aware of hoods, hats, sweaters, shirts, etc., as your earring can get caught, which can result in pain/tearing of the piercing site.
- Keloids and Other Scaring/Bruising: This piercing can also cause bruising, scaring, and keloids on or around the site. These issues may occur naturally regardless of how well you are taking care of the piercing.
- Costly: If you don’t have any alternative piercings, you may not know how costly these piercings can be. However, depending on the location and the jewelry you choose, daith piercings may cost upwards of $50 or more.
