4Head Headache Relief

...is it? ** 4head states that is a natural way to treat headaches when it is applied onto your forehead. It is a natural preparation that is so practical because it is a non-greasy and colourless formula. Also, due to the fact that it is a natural preparation, the topical application of 4head is not restricted and doesn't interfere with other medication that you are taking. 4heads main ingredient is levomenthol (which gives it the distinctive peppermint ...
...everything I have read regarding 4head and the advertisements that are shown frequently on the television. 4head is targeted for those adults that suffer from tension headaches. Though it can be used by children (seek advice from G.P before using on children), adults and the elderly. Its is also is target to the female population; they explain this in one of their websites, stating that research has shown that the tension headaches which are caused ...

Review of 4Head Headache Relief

...What is 4head? ***************** 4head is a colourless and non-greasy application, it is specially designed to be portable and is carried easily in a pocket or handbag. The neat and handy applicator stick - a bit chunkier than a tube of a lipstick - is convenient for use whenever a headache creeps up, whether at work, home or on the move. It is 100% Levomenthol, a substance used in many cold remedies. Levomenthol has mild local anaesthetic, cooling ...
...an attack of the vapours! 4head can be used by adults, the elderly and children. But I would think care should be taken with children and if they get frequent headaches then discuss with their doctor. Advantages of 4head *********************** No water is needed to swallow tablets, nor do you need to have eaten first and it is easy to apply, and in case the headache lingers you don't have to wait for several hours before reapplying, no danger ...

Review of 4Head Headache Relief

...exception. A combination of vodka, 4head and just about anything else I could find didn't help me get rid of the pain during the flight and my sinuses, outraged at the treatment thay had just received, refused to settle down once I had landed. So on arrival at the hotel I pondered briefly what to do. It didn't take long before inspiration struck! My grandmother used to use menthol crystals in hot water to clear her cold - usually in a bowl with a ...
...to grate bits of my 4head stick. Now bear in mind that the stick is small in the first place and that I probably grated only a small fraction of it. And then believe me when I said that the room was absolutely filled with the scent of menthol in a matter of seconds. I should have taken the hint at the time and just sat there in the bathroom. But I didn't. I'll blame sinus-induced temporary insanity but I ended up getting in to the bath. As I did ...

..."rebound" headache). This is where 4Head comes in, a new "natural" treatment for tension headaches that offers an alternative to taking tablets. 4Head is a little white stick about the size of a lipstick that comes in a lurid pink box (available from Boots, Superdrug, pharmacies and supermarkets). Small and light enough to fit easily into a bag or pocket, the idea behind this product is that when you feel a tension headache coming on, you whip it ...
...headache. The active ingredient in 4Head is a form of mint known as levomenthol that has a mild local anaesthetic action (it is also used in Vick's Vaporub and Strepsils for this property). It is the levomenthol that produces the cooling effect, and relaxes the muscles and blood vessels around the temples that have tensed up during the headache. It is also thought to somehow target the pain receptors in the brain, although it is not clear how this ...

Review of 4Head Headache Relief

...Boots and picked up some 4head for £5.99 – bit steep but was in too much pain to care! It comes in a small tube about 2 ½ inches long and contains a glossy white stick – looks a bit like a dry stick deodorant to me. The stick is packaged in a small pink box and in boots can be found next to all the other painkillers. There is a picture on the back of a rather strange looking lady – I assume this is what you’ll turn into if you let the headache go ...
...To apply you take the first lid off and remove the small plastic safety cap and roll gently across your forehead (4head – forehead – get it?!). Be careful when doing this that you don’t get it too near your eyes and only apply a small amount at first. When you have finished wind the stick back in and replace both caps. Once you have applied it you will get a tingling sensation not unlike the sensation you get when you use deep heat – but its cold. ...

Review of 4Head Headache Relief

...over use. Someone mentioned 4head to me one day just as I was beginning to get sick of having to lie down in the dark every day to try and shift the pain. With nothing to lose, I scoured the pharmacy shelves for it the next time I was in the supermarket. I had heard it was around a fiver, but I wasn't too worried if it was going to work. I searched and searched and nearly missed it until I asked for help. My 5.65gbp was going to buy me the smallest ...
...set in, then I find 4head can help the pain slightly but it never seems to get rid of it entirely. Sometimes it will shift the headache to the back of my head which really doesn't help the situation at all. Researching the website, 4head is designed for tension headaches. Personally I can never tell which type of headache I am going to get so it's pot luck whether this will work. As with any medication you should always read the label before use, ...

Review of 4Head Headache Relief

...saw a magazine advert for 4Head & I asked hubby to drive me to Asda to get some. Normally I wouldn't have bothered and I would have kept on taking painkillers, but this headache was so bad, I decided to try an alternative, plus I do worry what all the painkillers I take on a daily basis because of my adhesion problems are doing to my body. I went into our local Asda and I found 4head in the pharmacy section, along with muscular products such as ...

Review of 4Head Headache Relief

...The product is called 4head and is a small 3.6g stick of natural remedy painrelief. It contains levomenthol, a natural ingredient which helps relax the local blood vessels and relieve pain. The ingredient also causes a cold and tingling sensation and has an analgesic effect. Levonmenthol also seems to help muscles in the head and neck relax and thus help to relieve tension headaches. The product costs around £5.99 and is available in tescos, boots ...

Review of 4Head Headache Relief

4Head Headache relief….. I have always been a fairly headachey person getting one or more headaches per week. I have always had no trouble in popping a few pills to stop the headache (you could probably hear me rattle sometimes!). However one day a few months back I was at work and my headache was so bad even after taking a couple of strong Paracetamol tablets I decided to pop into the chemist next door and pick up one of these. I was surprised ...
...Once on the skin the 4Head does not feel in the slightest bit greasy and you would never know it is there. Until of course a few seconds after application, when both the smell and the tingly feeling start to become apparent (this is where on my first application I realised I had put too much on as I was unable to open my eyes because the vapour was so strong). The smell of the product is a very strong menthol aroma, which I guess, comes from it being ...

Review of 4Head Headache Relief

...6 months ago for the 4Head analgesic stick that is applied like a Pritt stick across the forehead, made the usual, "That sounds good" comment and then never actually did any more to find out how it worked, if it was suitable for me etc. I figured that if I bought some tablets downtown, I'd need to spend a £1 on bottled water as well and so I decided to see if it was worth me getting a stick of 4Head instead. ----------- The Purchase ----------- ...
...So, I whipped out the 4Head stick (it is indeed like a very small Pritt stick. The actual "stuff" is crystal-white in colour, hard, dry and whiffs faintly of mint), discarded the instructions and liberally applied 4Head to my forehead expecting instant relief. What I actually got was a feeling very much like someone spraying Deep Heat directly into both of my eyes. Think how your eyes would react if you were to spread Vicks on your cheekbones, it ...

Review of 4Head Headache Relief

...things about between visits?!) 4head retails at a whopping £5.99 for 3.6 grams whilst I can get 16 Hedex Extra for £1.99. On the plus side, it will last for ages and the expiry date is not until 2006. It comes in a rather loud shocking pink box (good job I don't have a migraine). Inside the pink box is what is described as a "cutaneous stick" - a roll on product in tube about 6 centimetres high and 2 centimetres in diameter. It's a very handy size ...
...As the active ingredient in 4head is levomenthol (and yes it does smell rather minty), shortly after applying there will be a pleasant tingling sensation in that area. This is followed by a numbing sensation as the pain-killing bit kicks in. The skin will also feel much much colder to the touch, but it's not an unpleasant feeling. In fact, the sensation feels very soothing on the forehead. If you apply it too near to your eyes it can make them smart ...

...on and I whipped the 4head out of my bag. I must say, it is a handy handbag size. I took off the transparent top and then the little safety lid inside of that and applied the stick to my head as instructed. Woah, I started to feel a cooling tingly sensation, which felt quite weird. I am sure it would have stung my eyes if I was unlucky enough to get it too close to them. I guess judging by the name of the active ingredient, there is menthol in the ...

Review of 4Head Headache Relief

...I first saw 4head advertised on TV and the advert caught my eye because of the claims it made: relief of headache without the need for popping pills! I felt a wave of hope as I picked up my coat and lightfooted it down to the chemist. I asked the assistant where it was kept and was suprised when she pointed to a tiny box, located on the counter (it was being featured). It was a lot smaller than I thought, which makes sense as this enables it to fit ...
...stick in two weeks! 4head comes packaged in a tiny burgundy box which is attached to a burgundy cardboard backing sheet. In this is a picture of the product and the caption "Headache relief for direct application to the forehead". The box displays the 4head brandname in white and underneath this in yellow it reads "a natural headache treatment". It looks nice and simple. I decided to try it out as soon as I left the chemist. A real bonus for this ...

...to present me with a 4head stick, telling me that while she hadn't used one herself, people at work swore by it. I was willing to give anything a try to end my misery, although my dad, who is a pharmacist, was exceedingly skeptical and told me that it would do nothing more than a wet flannel. (Although, of course, when it did work, he gave me a spiel about how they have been using menthol for years to treat headaches...go figure!) The stick is essentially ...

It twists up, to reveal a miniscule amount of the product itself if I'm honest, which looks almost like a block of ice really, and somehow made me feel confident about it's cooling effects! The stick works by applying it to the forehead (duh!) "as required but avoiding excessive use". Helpful. I have no idea what they consider ...
