My name is Peggy, and several years ago, a friend of mine asked me to take care of her son, Jonathan, who was home from school with a migraine headache. Having suffered from migraines for many years, I understood his pain, and was focused on finding a way to help him heal. Working with what was available, I fashioned a cooling device, using ice, wrapped in cloth. While this definitely helped lessen his pain, it also started to melt, and soon became a wet and dripping mess! However, seeing Jonathan feeling better became my inspiration, and soon, I had an idea.
I designed and created a headband that could be used with ice, and asked my friends to try it when their children had a headache, or fever. Not only did it work extremely well, the kids also enjoyed wearing the headband. Expanding on this, I perfected the headband, adding animal characters to make it fun, and bring a “grin” back to the children’s faces.
It has been a long road, but the idea that stemmed from helping Jonathan relieve his headache, is now the Headgrin Headband!

This sound awesome Peggy, thanks for sharing, will order one for my grandson.
Thank you for ordering a HeadGrin product. Your grandson will love wearing this product when serious pain sets in! Have a wonderful day.
Try cold therapy as an alternative approach to breaking migraines when experiencing one. Try a Headgrin headband that you wear around the head and contains an ice pack inside. Keep the ice pack in the freezer until needed. When worn, the headband easily fits around the head, sides, and back of the head. The cold therapy is known to help reduce the inflammation associated with migraines.
View a 2006 study by Dr. Serap Ucler and his colleagues, which was published in Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, that states using cold caps significantly decreased head pain associated with migraines.
