Let’s start by answering the question: What is a daith piercing? Daith piercing involves a piercing done on the smallest fold of cartilage in the ear at the point of the outer ridge that runs along the top of the ear that connects to your inner ear, right above the ear canal. It is not easy to pierce because it is a small curvy piece of cartilage.
Another thing is that it will be hard to change the daith piercing jewelry very often. It also takes sometimes maybe months to heal and if it is pierced incorrectly or is not taken care of properly, it becomes prone to infections.
Daith piercing is argued to assist with a migraine, a severe headache condition often preceded by symptoms that affect the senses causing anxiety and other symptoms.
What is the relationship between daith piercing and migraine?
