on 9/24/2009 I suffer from chronic headaches (including migraines) and I thought this was a GREAT idea, especially for on-the-go when you probably don't have a heat-pack with you. I like how you mentioned relaxing, bc that is also important in helping a headache go away. Finally, I really appreciate how you specified that it might not help for migraines, but it's worth a shot. I hate seeing articles that say you can get rid of a migraine easily w/o meds (you know what I mean if you've had them, but you were specific. I tried it and this DID help me! Thanks!!
