If you are looking for drug-free headache relief you need to try the Headache Reliever from AbsolutelyNew, Inc. The Headache Reliever is a head wrap designed to use hot or cold compression to eliminate headache pain without drugs. This product was developed by a NASA scientist and neurologist that specializes in severe headache treatment. Product received for review.
Drug-free Headache Relief with Headache Reliever
Finally I searched for “headache wrap” and was so thankful that the product I had in mind existed! The Headache Reliever is a headband that comfortably wraps around your head to provide consistent compression. It includes three reusable gel packs that can be heated or frozen. The gel packs are easily inserted into the headband for instant relief. Simple yet genius product!
Headaches are about the only time that I want cold therapy. Being a person that is always cold, I usually opt for everything warm. But, when my head hurts I want ice! I cannot imagine ever heating up the gel packs, but the option is there. After about 20 minutes in the freezer, they are ready to go.
The head wrap covers all around the head, so the relief is everywhere. It actually can be a little overwhelming at first if the packs are very cold, but I always adjust quickly and find it soothing. There is also the option of not using all the gel packs at once. My absolute favorite part is that the gel packs remain flexible even when they have been in the freezer. So, there is not a hard ice cube pressed into your head. This makes an enormous difference when it comes to comfort.
Here is how I like to wear it… I like to have the ice packs directly on my forehead since that’s where my pain is.
Sorry for the sucky self-pic. No one was around to take it for me.
They suggest you wear it with the velcro part up front…
Yes I am laying in a sleeping bag on the couch. That’s what I do. Mike loves to wear it too, he says that it’s soothing even without a headache.
This headband can provide drug-free headache relief anywhere however, due to the size of the band, it might look a little funny. Personally, if I am in pain I don’t really care what people think, but walking around in this is probably not that practical. I do not feel like this is a strike against the product at all. I wear it around my house for hours. It doesn’t impair my vision and I can go about my daily chores.
So, I still do not know why I feel like I have a fever every day of my life, but this product is my new best friend. I love it and I am completely obsessed with it. I would highly recommend it to anyone who experiences frequent headaches! I think it’s the quickest, safest and fastest form of headache relief.
The Headache Reliever can be purchased from AbsolutelyNew, Inc. for $39.99. This is a great value for such a high quality and useful product! Be sure to browse the rest of the site, too. They have some really interesting and innovative products!

carol lewis says
June 23, 2012 at 8:23 pmI have had migraines for about 20 years. I get so nauseous, in fact I have one today. I feel drugged up because I use tylenol and a decongestant because I can’t stomach motrin, so it works some but not enough. I have the visual effects where there is wierd flickering in my line of vision, too. Sometimes the pain is so bad I don’t know how I am going to stand it and I can’t get it to stop. I pull my hair on my head to try to stop the pain and do everything I can think of. My poor daughter also has these and they can last for days. My neck feels like ti is in a vise and pounds. It is so painful.
Jill Karrer says
June 23, 2012 at 9:01 pmI get migraines each month thanks to lovely hormones. I like the fact that the Headache Reliever wraps around your head & velcros. That’s so much better than a cold washcloth that falls off & then gets your sheets &/or pillowcases wet & doesn’t stay cool for very long. Thanks for the product review.
Renee G says

June 23, 2012 at 11:26 pmI suffer from constant tension headaches that build up into migraines. The doctors have been trying multiple medications to help with no avail. Standard pain medication doesn’t help either, and I don’t like to take it. Pressure and heat DO help, but I’ve never seen this product! Thank-you so much for sharing! I would love to win one! 🙂

Deborah Hogue says
July 6, 2012 at 11:53 pm7 years ago I was diagnosed with BC. I had alot of different treatments, alot of needles, and alot of pain. The Migraines didn’t start up until after my third year of treatment. The dr. gave me some imitrex which works on some days. Over the past 4 years, my headache has become progressively worse and the frequency is so much that i have to spend alot of time in my dark room because i’m sensitive to light and noise. i would say now I have at least three migraines a week. I would love to try this and see if I could get some quality of lifee back that these headaches have taken from me

Carolyn Daley says
July 7, 2012 at 1:46 amI get very bad headaches often and pain relievers such as Advil only do so much. They stop giving much relief after awhile and I like the convenience with the gel packs. You can freeze or heat them and easily strap them around your forward to gently compress where the pain is.

Pamela Roundy says

gina mihalik salter says
July 7, 2012 at 8:58 pmI often suffer both stress headaches and migraines. I have to have so much caffeine I can never sleep and shake constantly. I also have high blood pressure which the doctors say will not improve until I cut back drastically on my caffeine intake. I would love to do just that but after long-term migraine increases the doctors recommend CAFFEINE! I also take 2 medications for sleep and 2 for high pressure. Add to that ALL my other medications and I am a walking side-effect
I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to eliminate ice bags and wet wash cloths and migraine medications- none of which I can really afford on disability.
