I love this little product so much! I'm one of those types who would rather mope around the house complaining about a headache than taking painkillers (my excuse is pregnancy and breastfeeding gets you out of the habit of being allowed drugs!). Now, whenever I start complaining, hubby asks 'have you put on your herb farm headache cream?' Every time I say 'no!' and run off to apply it. The peppermint gives a lovely tingle and an uplifting smell that never ceases to make me feel much better.
I think this works the way if you bump your leg, pressing the site of the pain helps as your nerves can only process one sensation at once and you over-ride the pain. This feels like the minty tingle is over-riding the pain sensation in my nerve receptors, while the aroma goes to work at relieving the tension. I could be totally wrong, but this is my impression after multiple uses.
As such, it's not going to clear a migraine for you - there are serious painkillers for that - but if you like to relieve your headaches with something natural that you can frequently reapply, this is a winner!
I love this product I brought this when I went on a trip to the herb farm with a group of friends ! It works so well, I place a little bit of the cream were it hurts on my head and the smell of the mint is always relaxing so much better than using drugs etc ! Always use this !!!! Is just the best !!!
Tips: Buy this product it is so fab !
