How often have you felt you can’t go on because of a throbbing headache or migraine? An open study shows that two months of treatment with an innovative roll-on treatment called MIGRASTICK® can reduce headache and migraine intensity in just 15 minutes and reduce the number of migraines by almost 50%.

No bigger than half a tube of lipstick and made up of 100% pure and natural essential oils, this handy headache helper is showing sufferers, and other interested bystanders, the power of mobile, natural relief. The study, completed by Dr Marc Schwob, President of the Migraine Association of France, was carried out on 21 subjects averaging 39 years of age who had been suffering from migraines for over a year. The two-month trial confirmed the ‘effectiveness and very good tolerance’ of MIGRANEL (MIGRASTICK®) in the treatment of migraines. It also showed that the increase in the number of migraine-free days was particularly clear-cut during the second half of the study between day 30 and day 60. Subjects in the study voted the stick ‘90% effective’ in relieving headaches and migraines. Did you know that six million migraine attacks occur in South Africa every year? (2) Migraine, often called an ‘invisible disorder’, is a chronic illness that affects 5 – 10% of the world population. If we include headaches, nearly 50% of us are affected, two-thirds being women. Fifty percent of migraine sufferers do not seek help, but of those who do, 80% experience a significant reduction or a complete turnaround in symptoms over time. Abuse of painkillers may be at the centre of ongoing, recurring migraines, suggests Dr Schwob. Addiction to prescribed medication is also on the increase, prompting companies such as Arkopharma, producers of MIGRASTICK®, to offer the public this powerful and well-researched natural treatment option.
