The Importance of Self-Care
Self-care is crucial for maintaining overall health and well-being, both physically and mentally. It helps individuals manage stress, reduce the risk of illness, and improve their mental health, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling and happier life.
Self Compassion is an important aspect of self care
Instead of mercilessly judging and criticizing yourself for various inadequacies or shortcomings, self-compassion means you are kind and understanding when confronted with your failings – after all, who ever said you were supposed to be perfect?
With self-compassion, we give ourselves the same kindness and support we’d give to a good friend
Self Care is Like Vehicle Care
It prolongs the life and usefulness of the vehicle
Self-care is not selfish:
-
It's not about being selfish, but about taking care of oneself so that one can be the best version of oneself and better support others.
-
Prioritizing self-care allows individuals to recharge and have the energy and mental clarity to effectively meet the needs of others and contribute to their own lives.

Types of Piercings for Potential Healing
1
For Migraines - Daith Piercing
A daith piercing is a piercing on the inner fold of cartilage in the ear that is an increasingly popular, though unproven, alternative therapy for migraines. While many people report success, medical experts state there is no scientific evidence to support this claim, and any perceived benefits are likely due to the placebo effect. There are risks associated with daith piercings, including infection and prolonged healing time.
2
For Anxiety - Shen Men
The shen men piercing is located near the upper cartilage of the ear, just above the daith piercing. Holistic health practitioners claim it's a piercing that helps with anxiety by targeting its namesake pressure point. As a result, stress is calmed, agitation is reduced, and it may even help with insomnia.
Proposed mechanism of action
-
Acupressure theory: The idea is based on acupuncture, which suggests a pressure point in the daith area relates to the digestive system and could relieve pain.
-
Neuromodulation: Another theory suggests the piercing may stimulate the vagus nerve, which can help modulate pain signals.
-
Placebo effect: Experts believe that the relief some people feel is psychological, not physical, due to the strong belief in the treatment.
Risks and considerations
-
Infection: Piercings, especially in the cartilage, carry a high risk of infection, which can be serious and require medical attention.
-
Pain and healing: The piercing itself can be painful and may take a long time to heal.
-
Lack of evidence: There is no scientific or clinical evidence to prove daith piercings are effective for migraines, and many people report no relief.
-
Recurrence: Some people who report initial success see their headache symptoms return after a few weeks or months.
Recommendations
-
Consult a doctor first: It is essential to discuss this option with a medical professional who can provide evidence-based treatments and discuss the risks involved.
-
Choose a professional piercer: If you decide to get a piercing, go to a reputable, licensed piercer to minimize the risk of infection.
-
Manage expectations: Be aware that the piercing may not work and could lead to complications, and it should not replace proven medical treatments for migraines.
