Headache RelieverTM

Headache RelieverTMUnlike what others have said (yes, I read all the reviews, good and bad, so I knew what I was getting), I LIKE this product. I was looking for a headache relief product that I could use for my migraines and my sinus headaches that I could use with heat (which I believe helps them better) and that I could wear on my head that would not fall off.

This product was made for that purpose. I just turned it around so that the heating pads that you insert were in the front, no problem. And as far as the "crackling noise" complaint of one person once you tighten the wrap securely on your head, there is no crackling noise no matter how you turn your head even if you lie down with it on (because I tested it out thoroughly to make sure).

However, the pads that came with it don't seem to stay very warm when heated up in the microwave for only 20 secs at a time, so I may experiment with making small buckwheat hull pads to insert which seem to hold heat for longer period of time.

I'm still planning on keeping the wrap though because its very convenient for lying in bed when you want to lie on your side and sleep when you are not feeling well, or if you just have to do things but still have a sinus headache and have to keep going.

I have suffered from migraines for so long that I will not let them stop me from doing work I need to do, I just endure the pain. The wrap will help me endure less pain while I work when I have a migraine or sinus headache. It is a blessing.

When I read that this was invented by a NASA scientist and leading neurologist ho specializes in the treatment of severe headaches I decided to give it a try. It's a fairly simple product, I could just use my own ice packs at home, but it's convenient to have it all strapped in, and from what I understand, it's the slight pressure of having it wrapped around your head that helps get the results. And the results are there! I'm usually hesitant about taking over the counter medications for headaches, because I'd be taking them every day, but not with this, I get back from work, put it on for a bit and I'm good to go. Love it! I wish they had different colors, that's the only suggestion I have.

I have suffered from headaches my whole life. This works great and relieves my headaches, without having to take pills. I highly recommend it.

Headache RelieverIt actually works really good because I can move around and do thing without it slipping. I am really happy with it except for the fact that the cold packs only stay cold for roughly 20-30 minutes and sometimes are too cold at first because I freeze mine. I bought an extra 3 pack of inserts and I just switch them out every 30 minutes and it works out fine! Overall I would recommended it to anyone who suffers from headaches and finds that cold therapy and pressure therapy works for them. I like that I can adjust the pressure of the band too. Sometimes I like it loose but other times the constant pressure helps along with the cold. I haven't tried it with the packs hot but I'm sure it would be good that way too!

I could have invented this. Terrific for when you have a migraine or feel one coming on. I have had the occipital nerve block shots where you get shots to the back of your skull to numb the pain and this helps to create that sensation. No more wrestling with holding an icepack in place. Cons are it doesn't stay cold much longer than an hour, luckily the packs only need about 20 min. to cool down. Also, when adjusting the velcro just stick a finger in your ear if you have a serious migraine for that brief second. Ugh. For the life of me I have no idea who would want their head to be hot during a migraine attack but that is also an option, that would make my head want to explode. I don't think I could still not use medication, but I think it is a great assistance during an attack.

Betadine skin cleanser

Betadine skin cleanserFor some reason, I tend to get frequent infections on my skin. Bacteria have a field day with me. Betadine takes care of it, time after time. I haven't run into anything so far that Betadine hasn't been able to help with (including the initial stages of impetigo) or cure (including infected splinters and boils). Gentle on the skin, tough on bacteria.

For those out there that struggle with similar underarm issues especially when they exercise, you may want to try using this product to cleanse under the arms. It disinfects and kills bacteria that naturally accumulates under the arms. To most people this is simply manageable with soap and deodorant but to some it can be a challenge to control with typical methods. This product is very effective to control underarm "issues!" It is safe and with regular use there is even no need to use deodorant even when you exercise. At least this has been my experience. Deodorant can contain chemicals that are not very safe to our bodies, so using this skin cleanser is an added benefit if you worry about the use of deodorant.

I hope this helps someone out there that may be looking for an effective way to control this "issue" with their underarms. I added a link of some person that also used it with positive results.

Long time user of betadine foaming skin cleanser. A must for anyone who doesn't want to waste money on useless skin products and anti-bacterial chemicals. Betadine works for almost 24 hours killing bacteria that causes staph and virus activity. Its what a surgeon scrubs up with before an operation! I use it on my face when in the shower and on my upper back and chest area. It leaves no smell or orange stain but leaves nice clean bacteria fighting skin without the drying affects that many skin cleansers and products do.

Don't confused Betadine SKIN CLEANSER with the Betadine used in the operating room.

Betadine Skin Cleanser, when used with a facial BuffPuff, will make blackheads disappear! How does this work? The Betadine and Puff remove the oxidized oils from the surface of the pore. Also, it kills the bacteria on the skin preventing most future skin outbreaks. The combination of puff and Batadine soap exfoliates the skin. I have been using it for over 25 years and have passed on this information to three generations in my family. However, it only makes skin beautiful is used EVERY NIGHT!

Caution: It can stain so lean way over the sink!

It is not available at all pharmacies, so go to Amazon.com for a quick purchase at a good price!

Aloe Gel Skin Repair

All Terrain Skin Relief Gel with Aloe, 2-OunceWe love this product! Well, as long as you get the right one. The pictures and descriptions for the product are all mixed up. The All TERRAIN Aloe Gel SKIN RELIEF is Paraben-Free. If you look closely at the pictures you will see the picture for it with the description of the SKIN REPAIR which is not. The picture for SKIN REPAIR is on the SKIN RELIEF product description I matched the tube pictures and received the wrong one because I didn't check the description closely enough. The SKIN REPAIR description says Paraben-Free, but the ingredients are correct and lists the parabens. They fixed it to my satisfaction when I called to return it. I just didn't want anyone else to make the same mistake. It would be hard to re-order with confidence here. The SKIN RELIEF is fabulous! We use it for tons of stuff. It's especially great on my son's eczema.

i've been having skin problems related to mold allergies since july. this wonderful product is one of many skin care treatments that i have been using.

many thanks for such a wonderful aloe gel.

This aloe has been thickened (but who knows how...) and has way too much fragrance added to it for me to recommend it highly. Too bad, I like All Terrain's herbal insect repellant, so thought I'd like this too. But it's an assault to my nose

This was recommended to me when I was in Boulder, CO years ago and I've used it ever since. It's the best way to soothe and heal sunburns quickly and it dramatically eliminates peeling.

Clear Sundry Jars, Unlabeled, set of 5 each

Clear Sundry Jars, Unlabeled, set of 5 eachI like to keep cotton balls and cotton swabs in clear jars sitting on the bathroom cabinet because they are so much handier. As the jar empties it's a good reminder to buy more, so we never run out. I needed to replace my last jar (it was glass), and found these. They are perfect! They're study plastic jars, quite simple and very useful. The price is so reasonable, too, and came in a set of five! They are the perfect size for the cotton balls and swabs, but are also great for all kinds of things. For those of you wondering about the jar's size, they are about 6 1/2 inches high and 4 inches in diameter, not counting the the lid. Not too small, but not too large...just right. I'm thinking these will make good containers for giving away homemade cookies and candies at Christmas time. So glad I found them!

These canisters are a good value compared to glass. There is less clanging and banging and they are safer. Judith Peck

My husband worked in a steel mill for many years and we had used Burn Jel in the past and I was so happy to find this location to purchase this item. We have many grandchildren and have used this jel on their burns over the years. It is a product that I keep in the first-aid kit and will not be without it again. The small packets preserve the jel until it is needed without worrying about it drying out.

Have had this jel in my medicine cabinet for several months and have used it on little burns. Today, I burned the heel of my hand taking a pan out of the oven. Oven had been set at 425 degrees... and that pan was HOT!!! Burn was about 1 1/2" long and 3/8" wide. Immediately got the Burn Jel and slathered it on my burn immediately cooled the heat and the pain. After a while, it had completely absorbed and burn was much less painful. Kept applying the jel through the afternoon and. by evening, there was no more heat and no more pain that's amazing. Have developed one small section with a blister but I'm okay with that..., seems a small thing for such a bad burn. I will always have this burn jel in my medicine cabinet!

Burn Free Emergency Burn Kit

Burn Free Emergency Burn KitI bought this kit via a live purchase, not online, but after recently having had to use it in a real burn semi-emergency, I simply must review it. At the time I was appalled at the price of a relatively small box with just these items in it. Now I think it was cheap at 10X the price! I've also purchased a bunch more of the small packs for my various other emergency kits at work, in the car and in my back pack.

The gel works by simply removing heat and halting the process of the burning. And it does it fast and very completely. It then also removes the pain and keeps the tissue supple so you don't rip off the damaged skin. That certainly lowers the risk of infection.

So how do I know?

I recently reached out and grabbed a bowl that had been in the oven. Both hands, full contact and then I couldn't just drop it because of the boiling liquid contents. Therefore I had to lower the bowl, albeit quickly, before I could remove my hands. All of my fingers had immediate burns and raised flesh, meaning blisters. And they were in serious pain.

I used my thumbs to open the box right in the emergency drawer next to the stove. I had to tear open the packet, and that was painful, but then blessed relief came as the gel came in contact with the skin. It was instantaneous. Within a minute or two the gel had already soaked in, indicating a significant burn and the pain started coming back so I finally got the bottle open and applied liberally. Again, relief. I reapplied several times over the next couple of hours but was amazed at how well this worked. Most of the blisters never really filled and some of the fingertips were just raw rather than blistered.

Yes, I did get some nasty blisters the shape of the rim of the bowl, but overall, it was far less than I would have expected. And, to top it off, the blisters went away really fast and seemed not as full. I can't recommend this product highly enough. It should be in every kitchen, handy and ready.

We buy these condoms as they don't leave my wife hurting when done. Where as other condoms do.

When me and my husband do use condoms, which is rare now that I'm on a magnificent birth control, we used these or "Skyn." For a condom, it feels pretty decent. Not as great as going without one, but sometimes the occasion calls for one. However, if you're well endowed or if you're a girl and your husband/boyfriend is well-endowed, be careful with going too hard with these! One night the condom shredded. Completely broke from the tip to the base because he packs some heat! We didn't even notice until we were done because these condoms are so thin. So if you don't have a great birth control in tandem with these condoms, I'd get a thicker condom so accidents don't occur. Overall, it's one of the best condoms a couple can use that's "close" to the real thing, so if you're a regular condom user, it's a good brand to try.

Initially I was concerned about using "Thin" condoms but they are as reliable as the regular magnum condoms. I like these condoms because they have additional room at the base making for a more comfortable experience.

H2Ocean Ultimate Tattoo Care Kit, 6.2 Ounce

H2Ocean Ultimate Tattoo Care Kit, 6.2 OunceFirst things first, the photo that you see above is wrong. The kit comes with three different items, a cleaning foam, a moisturizing cream and another foam that you put on after the second day.

Most tattoo shops recommend A&D Ointment, which I used on my first tattoo. A while ago, I got a scrape (not on my tattoo) and I figured that I would use some A&D on it since it supposedly helped to heal my tattoo. After a few days, nothing really seemed to change, I used some Bacitracin and it healed in a day. (I am not saying that you should use Bacitracin on your tattoo!) Considering that A&D didn't really help me heal very much, I went looking for other products and found this...

The first day you get your tattoo you are supposed to use the foam and the cream. The instructions don't make the most sense to me, but I'm guessing the foam is to clean it and the cream moisturizes. Again, it doesn't really say that the cream also helps heal your tattoo, but after using it I think it does it (and does it well).

I'm only two days into using the kit, but it seems to be working. The pain has gone down a ton (I had a 1/2 sleeve outlined with some of the background shaded) and I am not seeing any flaking of the ink at all. By the second day, the tattoo stopped 'leaking' ink. Everything seems to be scabbing up nicely.

It would appear that this kit really is helping things along. I will add more down the line, but I am very pleased with the kit.

Had my tattoo done six days ago and am using this kit since day one. So far the tattoo is healing very well and looks better than the other ones when healing. The biggest negative is the price... but if you spend $200 or more for a tattoo, what's another $30?

Give it a try... and follow the directions...

I Got a full sleeve(in color) done and i usually use TattooGoo but i wanted to try something different, saw the great reviews and gave it a shot. So far my tattoo is healing fine, but the foam soap doesn't last long (and not just because i have a sleeve) so this would be ideal for smaller pieces, the Lotion is THICK! Whoa, it has the consistency of toothpaste so the first day it was painful since my arm was sore and parts were swollen,so when using the lotion it will take longer than you would expect... trust me. Now the blue foam is OK, nothing special about it. Honestly if your tat is small go for it, but for larger pieces ill stick with the tattoogoo kit... Hope this helps

There really is nothing much to say about this product. It basically speaks for itself and it is very effective. I used it on my first tattoo and I am impressed on how it sped up my healing and kept my new tat moisturized. The instructions that came with the kit are easy to follow and the use of the product is easy and not messy. I will definitely buy another set when I get a new tat and would recommend it to anybody looking for a great aftercare kit for their fresh ink.

Want H2Ocean Ultimate Tattoo Care Kit, 6.2 Ounce Discount?

The pictures of my tattoo are on the product page. I did a TON of research on aftercare and it seems that there's just as much contradiction between the professionals as there is with the amateurs. I had a special a&d ointment applied and saran wrapped for 3 hours until I got home. I immediately used the foam soap to wash off the ointment and then dried it by dabbing a soft towel on it to soak up the water AND MOISTURE which avoids the scabbing. Then I used the Salve "instructions are in the box and are very easy to follow" for the first 2 days and then started the ocean foam. I stopped oozing after a day and a half. I've heard tons of stories about how other peoples tattoos healed and I believe this product accelerated the time and took GREAT care of my tattoo. I know it's 30 dollars but the freaking tattoo lasts the rest of your life so don't be a cheap ass and screw up your tattoo so it ends up looking cheap and crappy. *** I used this product for the initial healing phase of my tattoo. Such as the first week. After that, save money and use alcohol and fragrance free soap and hand lotion. I use that in conjunction with the tattoo aftercare kit and I still have some left over to begin finishing my half sleeve with. I ordered a second kit because I believe I'll run out in the healing process of getting my second outline filled in.

Large Display Digital Thermometer Lumiscope

Large Display Digital Thermometer LumiscopeI have thyroid problems and learned from my studying the subject to take my temperature 3 times per day orally to find out what my metabolic rate was. Then I divide by 3, get the average temp for the day and put it on a chart. This is an amazing way to find out how you are doing with little cost. The key is, the thermometer will beep after a short time. Ignoring that beep, I take the temp for 5-7 minutes for a more accurate number. I learned this from reading the book "Stop the Thyroid Madness" found on Amazon.

This is the best thermometer I have found and it certainly has helped me get an assessment of where I am in my metabolic health. Highly recommend this product.

I bought this thermometer after it was recommended by Dr. Rind (the holistic physician) for taking basal body temperature for thyroid issues. It's never given me any problems. Already changed the battery too, which wasn't too bad...since it was the first time it was kind of hard to get apart.

Overall, good thermometer!

Homeocare Labs Arnica Relief Tablets, 100 Count

Homeocare Labs Arnica Relief Tablets, 100 CountFirstly, be warned that this product tastes like chalk. I'm not crazy about having to take it three times a day. I did try it for a week, but the taste was so unappealing to me, that eventually I gave up. You're supposed to gently bite it, then let it absorb under your tongue.

To be honest, I really did not notice a difference in my bruises. I may not have taken it long enough in all fairness. I found the creme to be quite effective, just not these homeopathic tablets.

Very good for those after rhinoplasty

It did make a big difference in my recovery time I do highly recommend this before your surgery

The pads are treated so they will not stick to your wound and re-injure it again while removing the bandage.

We keep these in the house and also in a quick emergency kit. They come in handy at the park as someone is always getting scraped up.

Good quality, sterile and they stay in place! This is a good product to have on hand for those little accidents! I posted a photo of the box for your information.
