4head - doesn't cure, but does help

Advantages: Pain relief, convenience, ease of use, portability, minimal side effects
Disadvantages: Price, relief is partial and temporary

...I find that keeping a 4head stick with me at all times, and using it frequently in addition to the painkillers, provides a lot of relief by cooling down my forehead, in the same way that holding an ice-bag to my forehead would help. Of course you can only hold an ice-bag to your skin for 10 minutes before you start to get tissue damage, which is not something I risk with the 4head stick (other than the risk of contact dermatitis or sensitization, ...
...balm over my forehead. Does it solve everything? No. I can't ditch the painkillers and just rely on the 4head stick. But I also wouldn't like to try to manage with just the painkillers and have to do without the 4head stick. I don't leave home without it! ...

Review of 4Head Headache Relief

4 UR Head!

Advantages: Feels soothing
Disadvantages: Not for migraines

...on trying it out. 4head is packaged quite distinctively with it's Red and Yellow logo. The actual product is in stick form like pritt stick! It's very small so ideal for on the go use or on holiday. The stick is menthol so read the label before you use, like with any products/medication. There is an instruction leaflet included in the box it comes in. I tried it as soon as I got it. It felt very soothing and tingly and cold! It's quite strong smelling ...
...your eyes then it will make your eyes water as the menthol is strong. I use it whenever i get a headache now and it instantly makes it feel so much better and quickly goes away. There is no limit on usage, as it's herbal so i can use it as many times as i need to in one day. The tingling, cooling sensation lasts for a few hours, it feels weird at first but you soon get used to it. to apply all you need to do is apply the stick directly to your forehead ...

The day I became a scarlet woman.

Advantages: Provides relief to muscle aches.
Disadvantages: Has a strong odour. Does not cure the CAUSE of the pain.

...finally purchased a tube of Deep Heat Pain Relief heat rub. Deep Heat Pain Relief heat rub comes in a red, metal tube contained in a simple red cardboard box.

The product is described as, ‘Effective relief for muscular and rheumatic pain’ and contains the impressive names ingredients: Menthol, Eucalyptus Oil, Mathyl Salicylate, Turpentile Oil, plus a few other minor ingredients. ...
...what contribution is made by each ingredient, but the combination produces a white cream that generates quite a powerful heat upon one’s skin. There are clear instructions on both the box and the tube as to who the medicine is suitable / not suitable for, when to use it, how to use it, and advice about frequency.

An excellent tranquillizer and muscle relaxant...

Advantages: Strong anxiolytic, sedative, and muscle relaxant
Disadvantages: Has the potential for addiction...

...goes into spasm, I take diazepam 10 mg. I should point out, in the interests of full disclosure, that I have taken benzodiazepines for well over 25 years; when I was a freshman in South Africa, the campus doctor prescribed clobazam (Urbanol, Frisium) to control these panic attacks. Clobazam was the first of the 1,5-benzodiazepines, and was thought to be less sedating than alternatives such as lorazepam, diazepam, clonazepam, etc. Upon leaving South ...
...once again possible to obtain diazepam (Valium) from doctors in the USA. I am deeply thankful to Roche laboratories for developing the benzodiazepines (first Librium, then Valium). When I take diazepam, I feel calm and relaxed and am able to go about my daily business without fear of panic attacks, and without suffering the manifestations of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (a diagnosis that was made when I was about 23 years old). I moved to the UK ...
