Fast, easy pain relief that works like a charm!
By Jackson Dean Chase on Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2020
I knew about the LI4 pressure point's effect on relieving headache pain before ordering this device, and that's why I wasn't skeptical it would work. Many times in the past, I've had to manually apply pressure to my LI4 in order to relieve pain. The problem is, that means I can't do any work because both my hands are tied up. It's also hard to keep manually applying pressure consistently for the amount of time it takes to relieve the pain. That's where Aculief comes in! Just slide it on and now you're back to work immediately. For me, headache relief arrives within a few minutes of wearing the device. I can't think of a single negative thing to say about this device, other than I'd like a few more color options. Yes, it's twenty bucks for a tiny piece of plastic, but it's well-built and well-designed in its simplicity to the point of near-indestructibility under normal use. More importantly, it works! It will save you time from lost work and money wasted on other pain relief products. When you think about the long-term cost to benefit ratio, you can see Aculief is the smart choice. Basically, for the cost of two to four bottles of your favorite aspirin or NSAID that might last a year, you can instead have a handy tool to quickly and easily free you from headache pain for the rest of your life! On a related note, if you're looking for an affordable acupressure wearable that targets nausea (including morning sickness and travel sickness), I highly recommend Sea-Bands. These wrist bands work on a different pressure point than Aculief, but I've found them to be just as effective at relieving nausea as Aculief is for removing headaches.

Worthless piece of plastic?
By Tom on Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2019
First, you never really get any concrete information on where the acupressure point is. You just have to guess that it is vaguely somewhere on the muscle between thumb and index finger. They also ask you to search youtube for their video for how to use it, which I have to guess is the same one shown on this Amazon listing, which is just as vague as everything else. After doing my best to place this in what is probably the correct location on my small hands, I notice it is fairly uncomfortable to wear. It makes it so you can't fully open your hand without it slipping. I imagine for people with larger/fatter hands this would be much worse. It squeezes in an unpleasant way that makes the muscle in your hand hurt. No reasonable amount of adjusting/stretching it seems to help any of this in any significant way. It claims to be for headache, Tension Relief, neck pain relief, etc. All I can say here is I only got a headache after having it on for awhile. I felt better a little while after taking it back off. Also, Aculief is one of those sellers that love to repeatedly send you messages begging for a review. While annoying, I didn't let it change how I rate this 'device'. Some people seem to believe it works, but I'm unfortunately not one of them.
