11.Aftercare of daith piercing

Safe and appropriate piercing aftercare is good for wound healing, they can be as the following:

Upholding Hygiene:

• Hygiene involves keeping your piercing and your environment clean;
• Do not touch your piercing with dirty hands;
• Change your bedding and towels at least once a week;
• Do not allow personal care products such as sprays and lotions to get into your piercing;
• Be aware of your piercing as a vulnerable open wound, and assess your environment and lifestyle for threats to the cleanliness of your piercing.

Maintaining Good Health Habits:

• Get plenty of rest;
• Eat a balanced diet of nutritious foods, including complex carbohydrates, plenty of protein, and fresh fruits and vegetables plus healthy fats such as nuts;
• Drink lots of water every day;
• Don’t ingest excessive alcohol or caffeine, and don’t use recreational drugs;
• Don’t smoke! Carbon monoxide causes vasoconstriction (narrowing of the blood vessels ), which inhibits oxygen circulation in the blood and negatively impacts healing ability.

Avoiding Trauma:

• The temptation to play with your new jewelry can be almost overwhelming, but you must resist in order to both avoid trauma and maintain good hygiene;
• Wear jewelry of the proper size and style to minimize friction;
• Do not handle your piercing roughly during cleaning;
• You may have to modify the position you sleep in to reduce pressure against your piercing. You also may need to adjust the way you rest your head on the pillow if you have a healing ear or facial piercing.
• Take care not to bump or catch your piercing when donning hats, eyeglasses, sunglasses, and so on.

Cleaning Your Piercing:

• It is imperative that whatever you use to clean your piercing helps more than it harms.
• You can use the saline to clean the piercing once or twice one day.
• Also, you can try the soap for cleaning, but for one thing that any product you select to use should be fragrance and dye-free, as well as low-PH or PH balanced. Otherwise, the soap water will irritate your piercing and your skin.
