Daith ear piercing – another common type of piercing done in the cartilage of the ear and is performed by using a curved piercing needle. Many prefer this type of piercing due to the fact that it’s pretty difficult to perform this procedure.The piercing passes through the protrusion of cartilage that is located directly above the opening of the external auditory canal.
A Daith ear piercing is an ear piercing that passes through the ear’s innermost cartilage fold, the crus of the helix. In most areas this piercing is pronounced “day-th” although the proper pronunciation is “doth” (rhymes with “moth”). The piercing is located in a ‘awkward place’ to pierce due to it being in a curvy place, and being usually pierced with a straight hollow needle.

Daith ear piercing procedure
Usually, the piercer does not fix the ear. It is convenient to use a curved puncture needle of small diameter. A needle-receiving tube is used to guide the needle safely on the process of piercing and not to damage the edge of the other part of the ear. Some piercers use a sterile cork to cover the needle tip.

History of Daith ear piercing
Word ‘Daith’ originates from a hebrew language “da’at” which means “knowledge”. This name was given by one of Erik Dakota’s client who was studying hebrew, her idea was that the piercer must have been so smart to figure out how to di this type of piercing.
A true daith must be done in such a way that the bottom part of the ring appears to come directly out of the ear canal. If one can see both the entrance and exit hole of the ring, it is not a true daith. The technique for this piercing is very advanced, it requires a specifically curved needle and was devised by Erik Dakota.

Can Daith piercing relieve migraine?
How it helps to cope with migraine
Daith piercing puncture belongs to the category of therapeutic techniques. Pucturing in a certain place of a human body, that is, the acupuncture of the ear, helps to relieve a number of diseases that can be affected through biologically active points.
Due to the impact on a small area inside the cartilage, it is possible to relieve a person from painful attacks of headache, as a result the migraine loses intensity.
In the field of reflexology, the auricle is considered as a zone of influence on a sore spot. The cartilage fold is an important place for intertwining nerve endings and blood vessels. When it is stimulated, the endorphin hormone of happiness is produced, and instead of pain syndromes, a person experiences pleasure and joy from life.
Deith piercing is part of the ancient knowledge about stimulating different parts of the body with fine needles. It is assumed that these teachings have come to us from China. Ancient chineese used to be treated by effecting on thin energy fields, instead of regular medication.

Daith Ear Piercing

I got the daith piercing back in Feb 2017 and when I got it I had a headache and after the needle was in my migraine was gone. Let’s just say that didn’t last long. The daith helped my migraines but didn’t take them completely away for about 2 months. Now I just keep it in bc it cost too much and hurt too bad and took WAY too long to heal for me to take it out.

Last night I woke to the all too familiar aura of an oncoming migraine. Both eyes were affected and I knew it was going to be a bad one. I take Imitrex for them but it was in the truck. I applied pressure to the daith and the aura stopped after about 5 minutes or so. No meds, no piercing, just gentle pressure between my thumb and forefinger. Is this concrete proof it works, not hardly. But it worked for me and I’m gonna keep trying it. Good luck to everyone who sufferers these beasts.
I had been having a migraine daily for 2 months. A relative told me about Daith piercing. I was ready to try anything that might help. I had the Daith piercing in both ears because my migraines would change sides sometime. Since I have had it done I have not had a single migraine!! I don’t really know why it works, but I know it does work for me. It’s not very expensive and mine healed very well. Cleaning the piercings as instructed is necessary to prevent infectoins.
How long have you had the piercing? Has it helped short or long term?

I got the daith piercing done in June 2017 and got a migraine a hour after getting it done. I’ve had no improvement at all. 4 months later and the piercing still hurts and was not worth getting.
My husband and son both suffered from migraines since 7 years of age. My husband is now 45 and son is 25. Both had chronic headaches daily and migraines 3-5 days per week. When I say migraine I mean the worst you can think of. On August 26, 2017 they got the daiths of both ears pierced. As soon as the needle went through his cartlege the pressure in his head was released. He has not had a headache since. We are praising God everyday and praying it lasts. Thankful for every day for normal life.
