By holding the comb with the teeth pressed inwards against the palm, it can distract from the pain of contractions and naturally help to ease the discomfort of labour, by focusing on the feeling of the comb. Squeeze as the contraction heightens and slowly release in line with the contractions.

Known as 'Gate Control Theory', by keeping the teeth pointing just below where the fingers meet the palm, the comb hits on the correct acupressure points in the hand to help ease pain. The mind can only process so many sensations at once and the comb gives the mind something else to feel instead of just contractions. The nerve endings are closer on the hands and as a result they reach the brain faster, assisting the body to forget about the contractions.
