Stopain Migraine

I’ve experienced headaches from a young age, but my health really took a turn for the worst after I hit puberty and began having menstrual periods. I was in so much pain that many days I was bedridden and would cry out in desperation. School was instantly replaced with doctors, emergency rooms, massage therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, neurologists, gastroenterologists, and so forth. I also spent a fortune on supplements that ranged from 30-100 dollars per bottle. It pained me to open my eyes and see the light and hear noise. Eventually, under doctor recommendations, I tried numerous medications including anti-seizure medication and anti-depressants. I also took Novocain shots in my back weekly and even tried painful Botox infections in the back of my head and neck. I eventually saw a nutritionist where I took an allergy blood test to detect secondary allergies. It turned out that I had 33 different allergies. My nutritionist recommended that I eliminate all 33 allergens cold turkey and slowly introduce them again to see which ones caused my migraines after the two-month period. Personally, the end result was despicable. I was starving! I was very into fitness but my family, including myself, wasn’t up to date on the dangers of MSG, GMOs, processed foods, and preservatives. (Monosodium glutamate is a flavor enhancer commonly added to Chinese food, canned vegetables, soups and processed meats. The FDA has received many anecdotal reports of adverse reactions to food containing MSG. These reactions, known as MSG symptom complex, include headaches, flushing, sweating, facial pressure or tightness, numbness, tingling or burning in the face, neck and other areas, heart palpitations, chest pain, nausea, weakness, and more. GMO, or genetically modified organism, is a plant, animal, microorganism or other organism whose genetic makeup has been modified using recombinant DNA methods (also known as gene splicing), gene modification or transgenic technology. This relatively new science creates unstable combinations of plant, animal, bacterial and viral genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods. Most developed nations do not consider GMOs to be safe and have significant restrictions or outright bans on the production and sale of GMOs. The U.S. and Canadian governments, though, have approved GMOs based on studies conducted by the same corporations that created and profit from their sale.) Every time I ate, I would have a severe migraine. There was a point when I would hold out on eating as long as possible. I am now 25 years old and have gradually worked myself up to becoming an organic vegan. It was undeniably a hard transition for me. In the beginning 90% of foods I ate tasted like cardboard. However, now I know what foods I love. For me, that was the biggest part to recovery. I also found that stress and lack of REM sleep played a role in my migraines. I do as much homeopathic healing to reduce them including hot showers, soaking in Epson salt, essential oils such as lavender and peppermint, yoga, meditation, and setting up my room to promote sleep. Nonetheless, I still experience migraines from time to time, but not nearly comparable to the altitude as I did 9 years ago. When I do, I find Stopain Migraine Topical Relieving Gel immensely helpful. It is very similar to Biofreeze and Icy Hot. It creates a very cold sensation on your skin and very slight but tolerable burning. In conclusion, I highly recommend this homeopathic gel as a part of a greater self-care plan. You want to focus on what triggers your migraines instead of masking the pain. Stopain has the ability to reduce your migraine and even mask it, but the problem does not just diminish.

I used this on my neck, i HATE massages but this was recommended by a coworker and it is AMAZING for all kinds on aches

I received some small sample packs of this at an expo and it had now become a permanent fixture in my migraine toolkit. It is great to keep in my work bag to use the second I suspect a migraine might be coming on and can't take rescue meds. The scent is pretty strong but dissipates fairly quickly and the cooling sensation works wonders. You do have to use it before the pain kicks in though because it doesn't do much during an attack. Personally, I don't find that it burns but my skin is not very sensitive.

This does help on basic migraines but not so on the major barometric triggered ones, but meds barely touch those either. It doesn’t have a super strong smell unless a friend is a super snifter so most do not know when I am using it. Goes on smoothly, not sticky or slimy. I will purchase again because it is portable and can be used when I’m out and about. It does work quicker than back up meds.

This product is awesome. I was skeptical at first, however after 3 days of aspirin trying to get rid of a headache my daughter gave me this. It worked within minutes and lasted for hours. All I had to do is reapply when the headache started coming back. Highly recommend and purchased 2 more.

This product has become a mandatory staple in my toolkit against migraines. I’ve suffered with migraines for over 25 years. A friend recommended this to me and I will never again go without it. This really does help to relieve the pain and it lessens severity - especially when taken right away when you know one’s coming. I have used this early on multiple occasion's and was able to calm the migraine before it got really bad. I keep multiple jars of this on hand and take one wherever I go. I also use it for regular headaches with success. I only wish I had known about Stop Pain years ago! Amazing product.

I was given a sample of this gel by a doctor and it was in grey packaging, said "Maximum strength" on it and worked like a miracle. This variety in light blue packaging is somewhat effective in improving my symptoms and making me more functional, but no complete relief. I still recommend it for those who suffers occasional headaches, but not a real clinically diagnosed migraine. I carry it with me and it helps to brighten my day from office/computer fatigue.

I love this stuff. The roll on is great for keeping my hands clean. The gel is just as good, but I recommend washing your hands so you don't touch something sensitive, like your eyes or nose.
