Flaxi Hot/Cold Headache Compress assists with pain relief by applying a hot or cold compress to the temples or headache area. The temperature of the compress varies based on the type of headache: migraines often react better to a cold compress, while tension headaches tend to respond better to a warm compress.
Flaxi Headache Compress provides threefold relief by utilizing temperature, gently applying pressure through the weight of the flaxseed filling and by inhaling the natural pain-reducing aromatherapeutic oil blend.
HOW IT WORKS
A hot compress increases blood flow which expedites healing, and helps to alleviate muscle tension in the face, neck, and jaw.
Cold compress slows blood flow, decreases inflammation, and slows nerve conduction, all of which helps to reduce headache pain.
Inhaling aromatherapeutic oils triggers positive healing responses to the brain.
Flaxi Headache Compress is filled with flaxseed infused with a powerful essential oil blend formulated to aid in natural headache relief. By way of inhaling, the blend can provide pain reduction, anti-inflammatory, and sedative results.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE Hot Compress - Heat in microwave in 30 second increments until your headache compress feels warm. Apply it to the back of the neck or forehead to relax the affected muscles and relieve the headache.
Cold Compress - Place the compress in the freezer inside a sealed bag until cold. Apply to the forehead, touching the temples or the other affected area.
CARE
Over time, the fragrance of your Flaxi Headache Compress will diminish. To renew its therapeutic fragrance, spritz with FLAXI HEADACHE MIST, or add 2-3 drops of Peppermint pure essential oil onto the fabric which will be absorbed by the flaxseed.
Do not wash or immerse in water, instead use a damp sponge to lightly cleanse the outside.
Your Flaxi Headache Compress will last for several years, however we recommend replacing it annually.
Do not wash or immerse in water. Use a damp sponge to lightly cleanse the outside of the bag.

WARNING:
Avoid use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Do not overheat the compress inside the microwave as it will scorch when heated for too long. When you notice a burning smell, it has overheated. Let it cool and dispose of it. If you have a serious medical condition and are unsure about the use of essential oil therapy, please discuss it with your doctor prior to use.
