Aculief Wearable Acupressure Clip - Portable Stress Reducer - Hand Acupressure Clip for Relaxation - Acupuncture-Inspired Wellness - Pack of 2, X-Small, Black

My mother and I suffer from intense migraines, pretty much whenever it rains and/or the air pressure changes dramatically. I've been to the doctor's for prescription remedies, but they didn't work at all. The only thing that ever really works is Excedrin Migraine - and that really only works about 60% of the time.I found Aculief on YouTube when searching for new migraine relief options and bought a 2-pack for myself and my mother. I was hesitant to spend $30 on something I wouldn't be able to test initially, but the weather in March in Eastern North Carolina is just way too crazy to predict or take a chance on. While I was waiting for my order to arrive, I did some more research into the L14 pressure point. This eased my concerns, as it seems to be generally accepted everywhere that this pressure point relieves certain tension-related pains.Now that I have my Aculief, I've been pleasantly surprised! Initially, the product kind of hurts for about 5-10 seconds (especially if you hit bone with it rather than the fleshy pressure point). As you use it though, you'll find it easier to locate that pressure point. The "pain" fades quickly, however, comparable to the feeling on your arm when you get your blood pressure taken. The main thing I've noticed is that I noticed that migraines (which I still get) are WAY down in intensity and duration, if not totally relieved.If anyone is hesitant to spend $20-$30 on this product, I would argue that it is totally worth it to at least give it a try. You'll spend far more than that at a restaurant with your family anyway. Do it. The worst thing that could happen is you could be dissatisfied and be down one night out with the family (in terms of dollars spent). I myself am very pleased that it helps out at all, as I've suffered these migraines for quite literally a quarter of a century. DO IT! To quote our President: What the hell do you have to lose?!5/5 stars.

I was very excited about this product and wanted to love it because I like to limit the amount of pain medication I take. So, the idea of using a natural method was great. I’ve had a few different types of headaches (sinus, tension, hunger, and eye strain) that I’ve used this product to help with; the results were just okay. The product says it instantly relieves the headache in 30 seconds, but I didn’t notice a difference that quickly. What I did notice is that the longer I kept it on, I kind of just forgot about my headache, and when I thought about it again the pain had lessened. Also, while I understand the concept of the device and where the placement must be because of the pressure point, it’s not very practical because it doesn’t stay in place if you’re using your hands for any reason even when you place it on your non-dominant hand. Overall, the concept is great but the execution leaves a little to be desired. It’s not a bad product, but if I lost it, I wouldn’t consider buying it again

I get migraines 2 to 4 times a month, for 3 to 6 days in length. They are usually a 5/6, sometimes 7/8, sometimes just pain, sometimes vomiting.My shoes size is 6, so my hands are on the small side. (I hope that made sense).So, I got this quickly and promptly put it in a my bedside drawer. I had a mild headache or two, but forgot about it. Then one day I had one of those 8s, with vomiting the whole morning. My husband was worried I would get dehydrated bc I was vomiting so much. I was looking on my drawer for some peppermint oil to help with the nausea, and I found this clip. I put it on, and within maybe 10 minutes, the intense pain had eased and my vomiting wasn't so bad. It was a six now and less vomiting (and, TMI, less violent).I wore it for a few hours while I slept, and thought, this was a placebo, and I took it off. My migraine grew back in intensity and my vomiting became worse....so, needless to say, I put it back on and wore it for the rest of the migraine.Since then, I use it when I have a headache, and it makes it bearable. It has never gotten rid of one completely. I try to avoid taking pain relief, it only works about 50% of the time anyway but not on the worst ones.I don't know why it works on some headaches and/or people but not on others, maybe it is whatever triggers it. Acupuncture never helped me, but others swear by it. So who knows...but this is a chemical free way to relieve headaches and works as well as medicines. It's worth a shot.

I purchased the largest size, however it is not quite wide enough, and ends up putting pressure more on the webbing at the edge of my palm rather than the nerve point, and slips around or shoots off unless I hold it in place with my other hand. I anticipate it to be a bit uncomfortable just by its nature, so that's not an issue...I can say for certain it does help with some types of headaches. I occasionally get migranes that affect my vision, and I happened to have one of these on hand the last time I started getting symptoms, and immediately, I noticed a difference that my vision started clearing up. The sooner you can use this, the better, but I wish they offered a slightly larger size, or an adjustable strap that you could put around your palm and wrist to help keep it in place so you could still use your hands to some degree.
