Migrastil Migraine Stick with Magnesium

This isn’t going to get rid of your migraine but it does offer more relief than any other over the counter solution has given me. I started getting migraines again recently after not having them for 10 years. I didn’t realize exactly what was happening and tried all the otc pain pills but nothing helped even a little. I didn’t have any medication as I haven’t had a migraine in such a long time and the soonest I could book a neurologist appointment was three months away. I found this and decided to try it. I bought both versions, the original and the one with magnesium. I prefer the one with magnesium as the “icy” effect isn’t as strong but it’s still very effective. It basically creates a tingly, cooling feeling where you apply it that works well to distract from the pain of a migraine. The smell is pleasant, like essential oils. I reapplied a couple times a day.

Amazing

I've been a migraine sufferer for decades. Thankfully, I only get them once in a while (usually allergy/dust/mold related). But, other than medications that knock me out, nothing really works as promised. I bought this product at the end of last year when I had an HSA balance to spend before I lost it. I got it, put it up, then couldn't find it when I was getting a migraine a few times. When I finally did find it in the back of the medicine cabinet, I put it out in the open for next time. That next time was last week. My migraines usually go like - I get the visual disturbance (shimmering line across one side of vision) that starts small, grows then disappears. A few minutes later, I'll have other weird feelings, then just don't feel right for about 30 minutes. Then, the headache part . . . it can begin just after the "weird feelings" start, or it can begin an hour later. That's what kind of sucks because I can think I got out of it without a bad headache, feel fine. Then, shoot . . here it comes. I've usually already taken OTC pain meds to get a jump on it. Most times, this does help in pain reduction, but takes the headache down to about level 5 instead of a full on headache. This last time - as soon as the pain started creeping in around the base of my skull and my temples, I applied the Migrastil in those spots. Within a few minutes, I could feel the cool/warmth sensation of the mint/eucalyptus oils. VERY helpful! I also held the Migrastil stick under my nose to breathe in the menthol scents. Also was extremely helpful. After about 30-45 minutes of just relaxing with the help of Migrastil, I wasn't feeling enough pain to keep me down. So, all in all, I think this product was very helpful. My headache level never got more than about level 3. I certainly hope I don't have to use it again anytime soon, but I'll probably have another migraine by the end of July and my Migrastil stick is right out in the open for quick access. While I don't look forward to needing to use it, I do look forward to seeing if it helps just as well.

Bought after my regular product’s price shot up. I’m now glad it did, or I’d never have tried this. It’s great! Don’t hesitate, give it a go. I’m going to buy one for my daughter too 👍🏼

Purchased this migraine stick in a moment of desperation because 1) I had a migraine that would not let up, even with prescription meds, and 2) The item is HSA-eligible. I typically use a peppermint roll-on, and wasn't sure the addition of eucalyptus would help (magnesium, on the other hand, has proven effective for other ailments in my experience) - but I'm glad I gave it a shot. *Make sure you shake it before rolling it on* I did not read the label before rolling some on, and afterwards noticed the directions on the label and followed - I believe it did make a difference, in this case. The oil feels cool on, and the effect lasts longer than expected (when compared to similar headache relief roll-ons), used alongside an OTC pain reliever and an acupressure pillow, it helped substantially. I could see this being useful when at work, given that you're not working around people who are sensitive to the scent (because you WILL smell like peppermint/eucalyptus). If you do not want to smell like peppermint, I suggest getting a chocolate scented roll-on that's available on this site and then you'll smell like a peppermint mocha instead. 5/5 stars because it does the most you can reasonably expect it to do and does it well.
