    I have heard that Daith piercing can really reduce the severity of migraines as it hits of a pressure point.

    Is it painful to get I am a wuss!

    thanks :D

    I can't imagine that being the case, as if it went through a pressure point/nerve, it'd cause extreme pain and could cause other problems too.

    Well.. there might be something to it because when I get acupuncture the lady always comments - no point putting any in there, that point is already done! I wasn't going for migraines though.. and don't get any!

    Did you ever get this done?

    Heard the tragus can be pierced too to reduce migraines. Not sure which will be better to get pierced though.

    Not afraid of the pain of getting it done, it would have to be better than migraine and vomiting.

    I have a rock at home and I get no migranes. If any of the migrane sufferers are interested, I could be persuaded to part with it.
