Cheap Plastic migraine cure?
Well, this is a cheap piece of plastic worth probably around $1.00. My head aches will not go away without medications, such as, Advil or Excedrin, and sometimes not even using those. So, I spent $19 for a little piece of plastic fully expecting it to have been a waste of money. With each headache, migraine, I’ve had this has got rid of it within 1 hour, which is as fast as medication would take. Even a tension headache at work from the stress while on the computer I remembered I had it in my pocket and popped it on my hand while working on my computer and a half hour later the headache was gone. Is it worth $19, no not really, it should be around $3 at most considering you can buy high quality metal clamps for under $2 each, but it is worth it for what it does yes, but it’s still extremely overpriced. That being said, I lost my first one and ordered a 3 pack the headache relief without drugs is still pretty valuable to me, but I do wish they sold this for a more reasonable price.My biggest worry now is whether it will last and maintain the proper pressure over time and not wear out too quickly, as I get several migraines a week so will be wearing this often.So, is it worth $19 for a piece of plastic, it depends on whether your priorities are, if it’s for value of product, no, it’s way over priced for what it’s made out of, this should be made out of a quality metal for that price. But, for effectiveness and not having to take medication to take out head aches, then yes, it’s worth the $19 and far more, not that I would have paid much more for this being made out of plastic as it is.It works, at least for me, I was a cynic about it, and it’s portable to keep with you at all times in your pocket, and that makes it worth using.My biggest recommendation would be for it to be made out of a higher quality and long lasting material than cheap plastic, but I would buy another if I lost this one even at its high price.

Sadly, It Does Not Work
I’ve tried just about everything to relieve my headaches, so I was really excited to find a product that claims to provide natural headache relief. However, I was extremely disappointed to find that this product does absolutely nothing to relieve headaches, at least not for me. As a longtime headache sufferer, I am familiar with the LI4 acupressure point, so I didn’t have trouble finding where to place Aculief, but the instructions as to how to find the LI4 acupressure point and where exactly to place it could be a lot more clear.It is also very hard to keep on your hand. They say to place it on your non-dominant hand, which is good advice as long as you don’t plan on so much as making a fist with that hand the entire time you have the Aculief on. It is described as “wearable acupressure for an active lifestyle,” but I couldn’t even turn the pages of a book without it shifting out of place, let alone try to wear it at my job, the gym, etc.Additionally, it is EXTREMELY uncomfortable to wear! I have average-sized hands, but within seconds of putting it on, it was extremely uncomfortable to the point of painful to wear. I tried to “stretch it” before putting it on, and I tried sticking it out because I would take hand pain over a headache any day. I left it on for over 3 hours, hoping maybe the hand pain would distract from the headache, but I ended up with nothing to show for it except deep marks on my hand and a still-raging headache. I envy the reviewers who say they can sleep with it on.I wanted this product to work so badly, I really did, but unfortunately it did not do anything for my headaches.

I would anticipate this works well, unable to test.
Edit: 12/11/2023I had a chance to repurchase this and this item must be the correct size. It fits nicely and does not work its way off. It will work itself into the correct spot if you try to put it on too deeply. No issues works as intended. I used it on a day I really was not lookign forward to taking another pill. Headache went away. No pill. Win!!!Original:I bought this and had high hopes. I might have accidentally received the smaller version. I am a big guy and the product was extremely hard to put on or it would fall off my hand due to movement. I really should order another. I’ve known about pressure points for years and if the headache is brewing I resort to manual pressure. I’d love to see something that works automagically. When I need a quick item to add to the cart for shipping I might try again. Because the knowledge is sound I have not deducted any stars. I would fully anticipate the larger size to work well. For now I am giving it a neutral rating.

Good delivery, included an instruction guide which is very useful and thoughtful. I found it can sometimes slip off a bit and needed adjusting. Only had it about a week but can definitely feel relief when using it. Have already recommended it to numerous people.

Je trouve ce petit accessoire efficace pour les migraines. Je le porte 2 minutes sur chaque en complément des huiles essentielles. Cela m’apporte du confort sur mes migraines (qui durent 48/72h), peut être moins conséquentes et moins longues.

This is my third size of Aculief that I’m trying. The kid’s size is the only one that fit. I didn’t think my hands were that small. I did find the clip to work for my migraines. I put the clip on when I feel the first pains starting, and within minutes the pain is gone. If I find the clip is not working, I simply adjust the clip until I find the right spot.Thanks to Aculief I now have a drug free migraine relief I can use anywhere.
