Good acupressure tool for migraines if you can handle some discomfort!
Long review incoming - hope it's helpful!I'll start off by saying that I've just received the Aculief tool and therefore haven't had much time with it yet. I'll update my review if any of my opinions change!My Story:I have suffered from chronic migraines for my entire life (I'm 25), and it has been a constant struggle to find things that work for them. I've cycled through almost all the available medications, and with health insurance in America being what it is, I never have enough of the medical relief that I need. Therefore, it's very important to have tools at my disposal that can tide me over when I don't have my medication!I'm a bit skeptical about acupressure, but with how severe my migraines are I'll try pretty much anything once. I've heard a lot about how powerful the LI4 point is, and when I read the other reviews for this little gadget I thought it couldn't hurt to try it.First Use:I've been experiencing a severe migraine for the past few days due to heat and pressure, and I've decided to break this tool out at work to see if it can help me get through my day. So far it's actually been surprisingly helpful! Keep in mind that I am also using medication, so I can't speak to its effectiveness as a solo migraine treatment, but what I can say is that I notice a definite positive change in the level of pain in my neck, shoulders, and head when I am actively using my Aculief.The Basics:The Aculief tool is very small and easy to slip into a purse or other bag (I keep it in an inside pocket of my purse or a pocket in my jeans when I'm not using it). It's relatively discrete, save for the color, so it feels appropriate to wear in an office environment. It stays on while I work (I'm wearing it as I type this review), and so far I haven't experienced any slippage. One thing I have noticed is that in order to hit the LI4 I have to wear the tool differently than is shown in the product photo. I have very small hands, so it's probably just that the tool is designed with the average hand size in mind. It's not a huge issue, in my opinion. You can see in the photos I've attached how I wear it.One other thing worth mentioning is that, because the tool squeezes your trigger point, you will have some noticeable redness on your skin after taking it off (see attached photos). This seems pretty normal to me, and the redness does disappear after a little while. I imagine that if you use the tool too much or have it too tight some bruising could occur, but I can't say for sure. I'm not a medical professional, just someone with a lot of chronic pain and experience. :)With regards to worries about stretching the tool: I have been playing around with the flexibility and have stretched it very far with not even a hint that it might break. It seems very well engineered!Why 4 Stars?I only gave the Aculief tool 4 stars because it seems a tad overpriced to me. I get the feeling that you are paying for the branding and aesthetics along with the engineering. For what it is, $20 seems a little much. However, if you are in dire need of migraine relief, it is worth a try if you can afford it.Another consideration in my review was the discomfort I experience while using it - this isn't the fault of the tool itself; it's just the nature of this type of pain treatment. While I do wish it fit my hand a bit better, I understand that I am probably not in the majority when it comes to hand size.OVERALL:A very handy little tool for us daily migraine sufferers! I have noticed relief when used in conjunction with OTC medications like Excedrin. Easy to use while working, no effect on ability to type, etc. Will leave some redness after use. Slightly overpriced in my opinion, but still worth a shot if you are in need of quick pain relief.

Great acupressure tool. Works sooo much better then acuseeds.
Reusable needle free.

My sympathetic system is constantly fighting for control and hands between thumb and index fingers always tight. These help my heart rate and stress levels.

If you plan to move hands/thumbs a lot wear a pair of fingerless gloves over top to help keep in place. Other wise they slide off.

Very good tool. Highly recommend

I rarely write reviews and have never written a negative one in decades of using amazon, but here I have to make an exception. As a professional bodyworker with nearly thirty years of experience and having done acupressure/shiatsu/thai bodywork etc forever and utilize many points including LI-4 this little plastic device does not stimulate the functions of this point at all! I bought this with the hopes that I could wear them while indulging in other activities so that I don't have to apply the pressure to this point with my own fingers, but the device doesn't do the job as described. A simple job as it is- to apply minimal pressure to a single point. The cheapness of the plastic and the fact that they couldn't be bothered to place a rubber backing on the point stimulator renders this both ineffective and unable to stay on the point without slipping off especially if engaged in any activity that requires the use of that hand- like typing or texting or making food. The pressure is too much anyway and irritates my skin within minutes of use to the point that it needs to be removed to avoid breaking the skin, causing a rash, or cutting off the circulation in my hand. Very annoying and uncomfortable. Bodywork and healing are meant to be soothing to the system not irritating. I am sorry I bought this and will be sending it back today. I've read many reviews of happy experiences. Curious as to how that happened. I hope this helps someone. Go see a professional bodyworker capable of titrating the pressures to insure a healing response. I will be making my own acupressure devices from now on!

Edit: 12/11/2023

I 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.
