Wild Thera Herbal Migraine Headache Relief Balm with Essential Oils. Sinus Tension Headache Soother. Safely use with Headache roll on, Magnesium, Eye mask and migraine Relief Stick.

I've used Amazon for years and this is the first review I've ever done - I like the product THAT much! I am purchasing another one today so I'll have extra on hand.A few years ago, I started suffering with terrible migraines. They got worse and worse, occurring more frequently and more intensely. They make me disoriented and dizzy, EXTREMELY nauseated, fuzzy/unable to focus vision, weak, shaking, etc. It's not uncommon for "milder" ones to last 20 - 30 hours.At times, I have been unable to walk due to the disorientation and physical instability and needed my husband's assistance just to undress me and then pull my pants down and then stand in front of me so I could hold onto him. I don't mean to be so graphic but it was really to that extent at times. I would then sequester myself to the bedroom, lying as still as possible in absolute darkness with a pail next to me. That was when I wasn't rolling around in utter agony on the bed. When I got the really bad ones, they would last for 48 - 72 hours and I could literally barely function for the first day and a half. I can only vaguely describe it as having the urge to rip my left eyeball from its socket. They made me feel like I was going insane. It was like this inhumane, thrashing torture. There was even talk about possibly going on disability because I was unable to literally function for days at a time, let alone keep working.All the traditional medicine stopped working because I was taking it SO often and every day, which only made the nausea worse. I was experiencing rebound headaches. The traditional way was not working.I first searched out remedies because I was desperate to try anything that might work, whether it was "all natural" or not. Simply put, this works. It doesn't take it away completely but it stops it from being so severe and I believe it reduces the duration. I find I need to use it at the FIRST sign of a headache coming on (often I'll feel slightly achey and a little nausea and that's my cue). If I wait too long to use it, it's not as effective even though it does help some.I like this stuff so much I keep the tin in a zip-loc baggie as a part of my arsenal. It's in my purse at all times so I'm never without it. If I take it out while I'm home, it's a part of my routine of putting it in there before I leave the house - with my cell phone, keys, etc. so I will never forget it.For other sufferers out there, it may seem expensive but it's very much worth it to find some PEACE and relief. I have used it nearly every day, multiple times a day and I've got about half a tin left. It was delivered to me on 10/28/15 so 2 1/2 months of HEAVY use and there's maybe 40 - 45% left.I will also say that MIG's Headache Balm (like a big tube of chapstick) helps, too. I don't think it works as well as this balm but it has more of a cooling that feels like it's more of a "one-two punch" for the first few minutes and I find that it's enough to take the edge off enough for me to do the other things in my migraine routine. I like to use this on the back of my neck, at the base of my head where the two main arteries run up. If it's really bad, I just slather it all over the back of my neck and onto the sides. I also like to just hold it up to my nose and smell it. It leaves my hair a little greasy but not terribly. I use this Wild Thera balm for my forehead and temples and when the real bad migraine hits, under my brow bone/slightly onto my eyelid.Another good thing I've discovered is lightly knocking on the side of my head (my migraines are 98% on the left side). The front left quadrant of my head and on the side close to my ear. A variation of rubbing, pressing, and knocking helps. Be careful to not be too hard in the moment because you'll end being quite sore and tender for the next 2 - 3 days! I've made that mistake - it's hard trying to find the balance in finding relief because it's so intense but not to go overboard to only cause pain later. Anyway, the thing that helps with that because my hand/fingers will get tired is something called The Index Knobber. It's a purple/blue clear plastic thing that you can wrap your hand around and it has a bulbous knob on the end of it. Saves your thumbs, fingers and gives you better leverage for more pressure. It was like $8 bucks, I think. THIS IS AMAZING, too! It's great for pressure points. I initially bought it to use as a preventative measure on the right artery area on the base of my neck going into my head... that would get really tight in there and that would cause a headache. Anyway, I inadvertantly used it during one migraine and like it to help with the knocking/rubbing/pressing on the left side of my head.Finally, I did a ton of research on supplements that are known for migraine prevention. Well, they are VERY pricey and I just couldn't swing $35+ a month for the convenience. So, I went to Swanson Vitamins since I already use them. I take a combination of riboflavin, butterbur, and magnesium as a prevention method and it's much cheaper -- you take more pills but I can get 3 months of this stuff for the price of one month from the other guys. If you want to know specifics, let me know and I'll tell you the dosages I use.Research some pressure points for nausea that you can do at home. It helps. Peppermint oil also helps relieve nausea - but it's very potent so only a very tiny bit and make sure to wash your hands after you rub it on stomach. Too much can sting and become painful and burn skin.Between all of this AND that I went up for prayer in church for healing (there was a word the pastor rec'd from the Lord about someone suffering with migraines so I practically ran to the altar, lol), I am thankful and happy to report that due to my healing from Jesus and the wisdom He's given me with supplements and the headache ease balms, my quality of life has VASTLY improved. Just thinking about how night and day it is brings tears of thankfulness to my eyes. I am still tired a lot but the Lord is so good and merciful. I no longer live in fear of when the next one is going to come and if I'll be at home or not.Before, just taking regular medicine, I had "regular" headaches about 3-4 days a week that lasted almost all day and migraines 2 times (every few weeks I'd get the raging migraines). It was about 6 days a week that I was in some sort of continuous pain. And don't even get me started on the exhaustion from all of it. I felt like crap every day - just varying degrees of terrible.After taking the supplements for about 30 days, I noticed there was a decrease in the number of migraines but an increase in just regular headaches and different symptoms that were "normal" for me (chief one being that my scalp felt tight and tender, like it had a bruise all over). To me that was an improvement, though, since I wasn't in writhing pain. Then I got the balms and the index knobber-thing and noticed even more improvement. I would still get migraines about once a week and headaches maybe 3 times a week but didn't last all day and all of my little tools helped me cope. Then after being anointed, prayed over, and healed, I have had significantly less regular headaches and VASTLY improved migraines. A few weeks ago, I even went 5 days WITHOUT ANY HEADACHE at all! Thank you, God. :)I still get headaches and migraines but they are much milder than before, shorter in duration, and nowhere near as frequent. I did actually get a migraine this morning, though. The first two things I did was pray and then apply the headache ease balm. And after about an hour of terrible pain and moderate disorientation, I was able to get out of bed all by myself and get breakfast and then write this rambling review. That NEVER would have happened before. Now, granted, my plans are shot for the day and I still have a mild migraine so I just don't have it in me after an episode like this morning BUT I can at least take a shower today and not repeatedly hit my head to alleviate the pain. I actually have soft worship music playing in the background. It truly is a miracle.... my very own miracle from the Lord. :)BUY THE HEADACHE EASE BALM! You'll be glad you did. :)

This stuff is pretty amazing. I was thinking it was a tad expensive to try out, but wouldn't it be nice if this actually worked, it'd be a big help in general and especially on a night when I'm planning on drinking and will not be taking any migraine medication. Works better than I expected. I no longer think it's pricey because it's pretty dense and a little goes a long way. I use this when I feel the start of a migraine, sometimes once it has already taken root, but not when it's full blown. I've had to apply it two or even three times to have a better result, but putting it on just once helps most of the time. I'm using this a few times a week now. My previous method of treating migraines was to take Excedrin Migraine when I felt one coming on, and if it ended up being one I couldn't stop from taking hold, take the prescription. I'm always doing what I can to not take the prescription and this helps with that, but it helps even more with eliminating taking that Excedrin as well. I still take it, but not nearly as often. Just keep in mind, this helps alleviate the annoyances that come with migraines, but hardly a cure. If you're in the midst of a full blown migraine, don't mess around, take your real medication.Three things to keep in mind that are good to know. First, it does have a scent, like other people will be able to smell it if you use this. It's not an unpleasant scent, nor is it a very strong one so it's not like you have to be embarrassed about it. I used it right before friends were over, and someone said, what's that I smell at one point and I explained about this balm and ended up pulling it out and showing them. It wasn't awkward in the least so it's really no big deal, but it is something to keep in mind.Second, the directions say to apply this to your temples, forehead, base and back of you head. I've been applying it just on my temples and nape and that's enough for it to work for me. YMMV, but I applied it to my forehead and wasn't happy with how long it basically lasted there. I touch my forehead without thinking sometimes and coming away with this on my fingers, then touching something else, is not what I'm interested in. It's probably good to apply there for most especially if you're trying to get the best results, but just thought I'd mention, temple and base of your neck may also be enough because it definitely is for me.Third, this has like menthol and peppermint and other things as well. When I apply this to my temples, it kinda makes me want to close my eyes for a few minutes, like the scent from it has a quick and mild affect on my eyes. I assume this is the menthol or peppermint, both have had that effect on my eyes in other applications. This is nothing major, but enough that I wouldn't use this and drive a minute later, I'd like wait 5 minutes make sure I wasn't blinking too much.This was something I just happened upon while looking for other stuff on Amazon, so no one recommended this to me, so I really was skeptical going in. But you know how it is with migraines, basically always willing to try something out to help ease the effects. Some are good, some are busts. This one is definitely worth trying.
