Migraines, a complex neurological condition that affects millions worldwide, extend far beyond a typical headache. For those who experience them, migraines can be debilitating, with symptoms that often disrupt daily life, limit productivity and hinder overall well-being. I’m one of the more than 10 percent of people worldwide who suffer from migraine symptoms. And when the condition is chronic, like mine, you’re constantly looking for the best migraine relief products to buy online. Luckily, I’ve found some items that really help.
Of course, it’s unlikely any product you buy on Amazon is going to cure your migraine. I have an arsenal of medications from my doctor to help me manage attacks and I wouldn’t survive without them. But like other painful conditions, there’s something to be said for a soothing treatment or calming smell that aids in your overall well-being. Because it’s not just about taking medication OR using an ice pack. Instead, it’s a combined approach.
So, along with my prescription meds, these are the TK things I’ve found to make a difference in my pain and stress levels. Hopefully, you will, too.
WellPatch.
WellPatch Migraine Cooling Headache Pads-4ct
It’s rare I don’t have one of these cooling patches
on my head when I’m at home. They get very cool and feel like they suck the heat out of my painful forehead. You could stick one on your neck, too. Note: BeKOOOL Migraine Gel Sheets are just as good.
Skin Gym.
Skin Gym IceCoolie Roller
A face roller really won’t do much to your face in terms of anti-aging (like some claim) but an ice roller feels really great when your face is burning up. I like to rub it it all over my forehead and sore jaw.
Casper.
Casper Essential Cooling Pillow
There isn’t one pillow that will feel comfortable and stave off headaches. It really depends on your body. Some like a more contoured pillow but I like one that supports any position I’m sleeping in and bounces back quickly. This one is also cooling.
Amazon.
Gimme 10 Foam Roller
Muscle tension can lead to all types of headaches, even migraines. You’ll see a lot of self-massagers on this list because I’m always looking for head and neck pain relief. A foam roller
is perfect for stretching out your back, arms and chest — and for doing those PT exercises you’re supposed to do.
TheraIce.
TheraICE Form Fitting Gel Ice Headache Relief Hat
When a cooling patch just won’t cut it, it’s headache hat time. This
soft gel one has 360-degree cooling all the way down past your eyes. It also provides some pain-relieving compression.
Amazon.
ComfiTECH Migraine Relief Cap & Neck Ice Pack
If your neck and upper back are affected during migraine attacks, this cooling set
allows you to treat both the cervical area and your head at the same time.
Maple Holistics.
Maple Holistics Store Peppermint Essential Oil Roll On
Essential oils are very personal. Some might trigger an attack while others might calm your senses. I like peppermint oil
because it actually has a cooling effect that calms down muscle contractions while also stimulating blood flow to the area. Plus, a few sniffs sometimes help my nausea.
Theragun.
Therabody SmartGoggles
When you’re having a migraine attack, shielding your eyes from the light is usually step one in getting some relief. But this isn’t just an eye mask. It
also provides vibration, heat and/or massage to the often painful eye area. I don’t have one but my editor friend and fellow migraine sufferer Sara Spruch-Feiner does and now I need one, too.
Allay.
The Allay Lamp
Sara also has this soothing green light that was developed by a Harvard Medical School neuroscientist. If you suffer from light sensitivity but don’t want to stay in the dark all day and night, it’s a game-changer.
Amazon.
Pivotal Therapy Occipivot
I’m not going to lie to you — this
thing can hurt. But laying with it against the base of my skull for just a few minutes every day really gives me relief. It reaches pressure points and tight muscles I wouldn’t be able to release without the help of a massage therapist. If you have any head, neck or TMJ pain, you need this thing. Just start slowly.
Cove.
Cove Beam
I use Cove to get my migraine medication. It’s a telehealth service that connects you with real doctors. In addition to medication, Cove has supplements that can help migraine sufferers, such as Beam
. The citrus powder contains magnesium, riboflavin and CoQ10, which have been shown to help prevent migraine attacks.
