Seems like everyone has something to say about the HeadOn advertising campaign-- and none of it is good. Whenever the conversation comes up, the one thing I never hear asked is this-- does it work?
HeadOn is a homeopathic headache cure, which claims to be able to cure your headache safely and naturally. Unlike the thousands of others who are talking about it, I'd never seen the obnoxious commercial for it until just now.
I did, however, buy a tube a while back. So, did it work for me? Well, yeah, sort of. Here's the gist: you put this waxy stuff on your forehead, and at first, you don't really feel anything at all. Shortly, however, the waxy stuff starts to make your forehead, very, very cold. Some people, like the migraine sufferer from this article, have said that this tingly cold feeling was pleasant. I was not one of those people. However, I did notice that, while my head was freezing cold, it was no longer in pain.
Did the much acclaimed homeopathy really work for me? Or is it just a commercial version of how your cousin Ronny would claim to make it so the knee you scraped didn't hurt any more, then do so by creating a distracting discomfort, as by punching you in the arm? Well, you got me. But it did earn a three out of five star rating epinions.com, with over half the users giving it four or five stars.
So, should you buy it? Once again, it's a situation where it works for a small majority of those who use it. If you're actively looking for a solution to migraine or headache pain and tend to distrust drugs and pain relievers, or just want to start putting fewer of these things in your body, then yeah, go out and get yourself some. If you're happy with your Tylenol, then you really don't have a reason to risk being one of the people it doesn't work for.
