With the arrival of good weather we feel more like wearing our hair up; Bows, pigtails, braids, semi-collected... The advantage of this? That our piercings look more visible and shine more in the sun ! Accessories take on more prominence in our looks and give us that touch that sometimes we can't get with clothes. But, what if I told you that piercings are more than an accessory and that they have benefits for our health ?
The use of piercings and piercings in history has been marked by hierarchical, religious, and medical social beliefs. The tribes were the individuals who used these accessories the most as a sign of social rank and maturity. However, its use did not begin to become global until the 16th century during the English Renaissance, where the nobility communicated their power through these small ornaments. It did not begin to be seen as an accessory without conjecture until the fifties when Ear Piercing Parties appeared ; parties where young Americans pierced each other. Social fashions developed their style under these accessories until in the nineties fashion hatched and began to be used among all types of clothing and ages.
The idea associated with healing properties is developed by acupuncture. In Chinese medicine, acupuncture focuses on key organs located in the ears, face, and feet. Sticking a small needle into one of these key areas of each limb could significantly improve pain and disorders in the body. The ear has more than 200 key points in which the body-mind is connected, for this reason auriculotherapy has emerged; acupuncture directed at the outer part of the ear. In this way, a piercing placed in a specific position in the ear can have positive effects against migraine, anxiety, inflammation and even chronic pain or weight loss.
That is why we are going to show you which piercings have these healing remedies and which ones we would choose as pieces for them.
