Ice therapy: Fast and Effective Migraine Relief

Cold packs or cold face towels are a fast and effective way to prevent and relieve the pain of a Migraine Headache, naturally. The application of ice causes the blood vessels in the area to constrict (or get smaller). Constricting the blood vessels has a strong anti-inflammatory effect that stops the pounding sensation common in vascular headaches like migraines.

Ice therapy works especially well in the first stages of the migraine – before the pain has become intense.

In searching the web for more information on ice therapy, I came across a novel product to treat migraine headaches using a natural and proven alternative to drugs or medication. Introducing the Headache Ice Pillow. This pillow uses time-honored and medically recommended cold therapy in treating dull, moderate and severe headaches, like migraine and tension headaches.

The advantages of the pillow is that it:

• Helps relieve headaches and neck stiffness.
• Uses medically accepted cold therapy.
• Clinically proven.
• Designed to support your neck and head in their most natural positions.
• Great for travel.

This pillow uses a unique, compact design to help relieve headaches by providing support to your neck while sleeping or resting. An anatomically designed, soft-frozen gel pack can be inserted into the pillow for added relief. Great for travel, reading or sleeping, this pillow also can provide relief from pinched nerves, stiffness, sprains, neck injuries or other traumas. The gel pack stores in your freezer until needed. An optional massage unit provides gentle massaging action for added comfort and relief. Clinically proven to relieve headaches, this pillow was shown to categorically help nearly 80% of uses.

Not surprisingly, you can order an ice pillow from China (where I think 95% of this planet’s products are now manufactured) and I am considering ordering one. I would be interested to know if you or anyone you know tried it and how well it worked.
