Essential Oils
Essential oils can be tricky. Not all of them are made the same. Essential oils can relieve stress, pain, and even boost your immunity. They smell amazing. You can put them in your diffuser in your room, use them in jewelry, or mix with a carrier oil and use them directly on your skin. Massages can be a game-changer. The thing is that you have to research if you are going to go through an online company. Make sure you are getting the best price. Also, you want 100% pure oils.

Neck Pillows
If you travel a lot then you know that a neck pillow is a game-changer. It helps to relieve the pressure that is caused by not being able to sleep right.

You can add options like vibration, massage, or heat/cold therapy. That is the best part. You can get it as personalized as you need so that you get the most from your pillow.
Warming/Cooling Neck Rings
What’s better than hot/cold therapy for migraines? The ability to mold the therapy to where you need it. Most neck rings can be fitted to the neck. They can also be molded to your head or any other pressure point that you think would bring you the most relief. You can get reusable ones that you can simply put in the freezer or microwave. You always have the option to get the disposable ones that you simply open and stick to where you want them. The disposable ones are awesome for work or when you are out on the go.

Vibrating Wand
You have the ability to choose the size and shape that you want. From a tiny wand that is the size of your finger to the bigger ones that fit in your hand, you have the ability to get the relief from where you are. Even the strength of the vibration is adjustable on most models. This is one of the favorites among migraine warriors because it is a quick and medication-free way to relax your nerves and stop the migraine before it sets in all the way.
Hot Tea Samplers
Migraines are often brought on by stress. One of the best ways to relieve stress is to take five minutes and regroup. Drinking hot tea itself isn’t going to automatically relieve stress. However, just take the time to slow down. Smell the aromas. Enjoy the warmth of the steam. Take the time to let all five of your senses be absorbed into the cup of tea. You will feel like a new person. A hot tea sampler will help you to find that one flavor of the day to erase the world – even if it is just for five minutes at a time.
There is one thing in common with every item on this list. Each one is personal. It is unique. They all encourage you to slow down and enjoy the good things in life. Take some time to yourself. Even if that is just the five minutes you are enjoying a cup of tea. Perhaps one of the best products you should look at isn’t even a product. You could give someone a break. Offer to do something for them so they can take the time to themselves. After all, one thing most migraine warriors have in common is that they have more time for everyone else and not enough time for themselves.
