“This chip clip saved my life tonight. I had a migraine start almost twelve hours ago and about an hour ago it was at an unbearable limit.”

A desperate mum has revealed she cured a horrendous migraine in 20 minutes – with a plastic food bag clip.

Elizabeth Hayes, from Indiana, had been suffering from a severe headache for 12 hours and said the pain had become unbearable.

But, in a Facebook post she revealed a trick with food bag clip had brought almost instant relief.

She wrote: “This chip clip saved my life tonight. I had a migraine start almost twelve hours ago and about an hour ago it was at an unbearable limit.

“I had exhausted all of my drugs and tricks I usually use to ease my migraines to no avail.”

An online search revealed an acupressure-based cure called Aculief – which involves using a plastic clip to pinch the nerves between the thumb and forefinger.

She said: “I glanced at the counter and saw this chip clip and decided it would do about the same thing.

“Within one minute I had some relief, and within twenty my pain was reduced by half!!”
