Description:

A comb for childbirth?

You are probably wondering how a comb can help you during your labor!

It is a natural method of pain relief that consists in creating a second pain, less strong than the first one (in this case, the contraction).
By creating a second pain, the brain releases endorphins to temporarily numb the first pain (the contraction) in order to focus on the second pain, to assess its origin and its dangerousness.

By stimulating an acupressure point for second pain, we combine the benefits of the stimulated acupressure point with the benefits of the endorphins released by our brain.
This is where the acupressure comb comes in; held in your hand, you can control the intensity and timing of the stimulation by squeezing it in your palm during the contractions. The teeth of the comb create that famous second pain, while stimulating the PC8 acupressure point, located in the center of the palm of the hand, between the metacarpals of the ring finger and the little finger (stimulation of the PC8 point is effective in stimulating contractions, calming anxiety and intense fatigue).
