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

If you suffer from frequent headaches you know how horrible this can be. Personally I have a dull, feverish feeling in my head almost every single day. This is not a migraine, and I am not even sure if it qualifies as a “real” headache, but it’s annoying. (If you suffer from migraines, I highly suggest you follow my sister’s journey with the daith piercing for migraines.) I always assume it’s from allergies, but I really don’t know what it is. So, I continue to just treat the symptoms. For a while I would wake up and pop 2- 4 Motrins everyday. Knowing that this would probably create a whole new slough of issues, I stopped that. At night I would sometimes lie a cold wet rag on my head, but that is messy and doesn’t really help for long.

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!

    I suffer from migraines and take Topamax daily which helps but hasn’t stopped them. I have found holding an ice pack on my forehead helps but is difficult to balance it….so I would love to win this and give it a try! Thank you!!

    I get allergy headaches all the time and allergy medicine doesn’t always help. Something like this would really help

    I suffer from migraines frequently and prescription medications don’t seem to do the trick anymore. I’ve been trying to move towards more homeopathic remedies and hope that I am one of the lucky winners of this headache remedy.

    I get headaches daily and migraines at the very least once a week. I would love to try this because I have taken so many pills in the past and I would love to find a more natural way to resolve the issue.

  11. Katy P says

  12. Kris says

    June 23, 2012 at 6:14 pm

    I started having migraines around age 10 or 11, so frequently I had to drop out of school. I have migraines about once a week at the least. I also have chronic headaches due to TMJ disorder.

  13. Patti Salinger says

    June 23, 2012 at 6:16 pm

  14. debbie johnson says

    I used to get terrible migraine headaches during my tween and teen years. I rarely get migraines now but still get tension headaches.

  17. Kim J says

    June 23, 2012 at 7:19 pm

    I suffer from severe migraines. I actually have one right now that i’ve had for 2 days.

    June 23, 2012 at 8:00 pm

    I have had migraines since I was 11 and I am 48 now. I get them about 6-8 times a month and they are brutal. I have used ice before on my head and really like this product.

  19. Diana says

    June 23, 2012 at 8:22 pm

    I do have bad headaches with barometric pressure changes and do not like to take drugs. This would be great!

  20. carol lewis says

    June 23, 2012 at 8:23 pm

    I 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.

  21. Jill Karrer says

    June 23, 2012 at 9:01 pm

    I 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.

  22. Renee G says

    June 23, 2012 at 9:40 pm

    I get migraines whenever I don’t get enough rest or eat frequently enough.

    I have a history of migraines and typical use a bag of frozen peas. This would definitely be a better option and leave me without a head smelling of peas 🙂

    June 23, 2012 at 11:26 pm

    I 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! 🙂

  26. christine jessamine says

    June 23, 2012 at 11:40 pm

    i would love to win because i get headaches all the time, medicine doesn’t usually help, so i keep trying new things

  27. jodi lasher says

    June 24, 2012 at 12:11 am

    I get headaches alot because of severe neck and back issues.. This would be so much better than trying to take pills all the time. Thanks for the chance

    June 24, 2012 at 5:27 am

    I fractured my skull about 11 years ago. When I get a migraine – leaves me debilitated for a day. Any relief imagineable is considered. This cold head-wrap would be ideal.

    June 24, 2012 at 12:19 pm

    When I was 11 years old a neighbor boy jumped in the pool we were in and landed on my neck. I had to wear a neck brace for quite some time and I now have bone spurs on the back of my neck which causes severe headaches so this would be great.

  31. chris z says

  32. Jonnie (JB) says

    June 24, 2012 at 2:51 pm

    I don’t suffer from headaches very often. I would like to win this for my husband who gets excruciating headaches often. He used to have something similar to this that he tied around his head and it really helped but it got lost last time we moved and I haven’t been able to find anything similar since.

  33. Karen Fields says

    June 24, 2012 at 3:06 pm

    I experience a lot of headaches and I try to not take any pills etc to relieve them but I must. They do not go away by themselves, no matter how long I wait, hoping…
    I’ve tried compression on my own and massage; they do not work either, but I haven’t tried a product specifically providing compression. I would LOVE to win and try this product.

  35. Aubrey says

    June 25, 2012 at 6:40 pm

    I have awful headaches from eyestrain, muscle tension or no apparent reason.

    I’d like to win this Headache Reliever because I can only take tylenol for migraines and headaches but it really tears up my stomach and this would be a nice medication-free treatment.

  39. Lauren says

    June 26, 2012 at 1:44 pm

    I have been diagnosed with chronic migraines. I have a headache or a migraine every day. I’ve done everything posdible and been to every kind of dr there is.

    I suffer from frequent migraines due to allergies, but also a car accident I was in when I was 16 years old. Long story short, I had busted the top left part of my head open in the accident and it still has some sensitive spots which when touched causes migraines. I would love to win this to see if it will help with any relief. Thank you!

    7 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

    I 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.

  78. Shelley P says

    July 7, 2012 at 2:44 am

  91. gina mihalik salter says

    July 7, 2012 at 8:58 pm

    I 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.
