Our blog on daith piercings for headaches and migraines has been by far our most popular blog. So many people have asked us about the piercing or shared their story in the comments section of the blog. In fact, we’d go out on a limb and say that the comments section on the original blog is one of the best places on the internet for honest reviews about the success of the piercing.
Instead of forcing you to sift through all the comments, we thought we’d share some personal stories in a blog so it’s easier to learn what people have to say. We did something similar to this in a blog a few months ago, but we’ve received so many new comments that we wanted to do it again. So without further adieu, here’s what people are saying about the daith piercing.
Stories About Daith Piercings
My 23-year-old daughter had her right daith done and I had my left done two weeks apart this summer. Neither of us has had a significant migraine since. She’s had virtually none and I’ve just had a couple of smallish headaches and felt some pressure. I’m a 10-15 a month migraine person and she’s on a daily preventative and used to get 6-7. I hope this stays helping. It was so totally worth it. ~N.C.
I have had my daith and tragus pierced foe just over 10 years now…and was always super skeptical when I would read articles like this and how the daith piercings helped with migraines…..however….last week I had to take my earrings out to play indoor netball (I forgot to cover them up at home)….. I couldn’t get the earrings back in at the end of the game so I decided that I would leave them out permanently (being a good role model to my babies)… In the week that I had them out I had horrendous migraines and over ten spasmodic and intense nose bleeds…. I decided to put the earrings back in because I missed having them in my ear…and to be quite honest…this week I’ve had no severe migraines and zero nosebleeds…could just be a coincidence..but might not be … ~ J.R.
I had it done on February 13th and it is the best thing I ever did. Have only taken my Maxalt 4 times and today is July 16th it has truly made a difference in my life with my migraines and headaches in general ~ H.S.
I just recently received my Daith Piercing and was able to wake up migraine free after more than 10 years of crippling migraine pain. Not only do I have multiple sclerosis but I also suffer from a large chairi malformation. I have tried every intervention and medication out there to receive little to none relief from my migraines. Since getting my piercing, I have actually had the blessing of waking up migraine free (something I truly couldn’t remember the last time it had happened). Not to mention, the piercing was next to nothing in cost when compared to other treatments I have tried so this was worth the try for me. I would recommend the piercing for anyone who suffers enough migraines that interrupt their lives for days at a time. The piercing itself was about 10 seconds of pain and nothing compared to a 5-6 day migraine. ~ V.E.
I live in MN. I went to a place today called The Holy Mackerel to get my daith pierced. I highly recommend it. I actually was getting a headache prior to my piercing and within hours it went away. I’m praying that’s a sign that it is going to work. The piercing itself doesn’t hurt that much and Verno at the Holy Mackerel is great ~ H.M.
Have had mine 4 months and no migraine. A few dull headaches but no migranes! ~ T.L.
