For so many people, a birth comb can be an excellent coping strategy to deal with the intensity of contractions. It works by disrupting the pain gate theory in the brain. Squeezing the sharp teeth across the Lao Gong acupressure point on the palm of the hand floods the brain with new non-painful sensory signals, which overrides the intensity of contractions. It also triggers endorphin release, the body’s own pain relieving hormone. This needs to get in your birth bag! Comes with a handy strap, drawstring bag and guide.
