My new acupressure mat arrived this morning. I had low expectations: I'll buy anything that might give me some relief from my chronic migraines, but most of the random stuff I get doesn't help, and this looks like a torture device. And I'm not sure this will help with the pain either, but wow. I actually have energy? This could be my new favourite thing.

image is of my magic wonder spiky pillow that takes away my migraines you can get a head/neck pillow too. This works wonders for my migraines.

I got one of those too! Hoping it works for my migraines, but it certainly feels amazing.

Right on. It feels like fire initially, but then you sort of get used to it....sort of. Hope it helps.

I use mine a few times a week. They're great once you get past the first 30-45 seconds

I practice "throwing up triangles" on mine to smash traps.
