ReLeafpack Cold Therapy for Migraines:
Your Favorite Ice Pack for Headache Pain
Because We've Been There, Too...
ReLeafpack was made by women with migraine, occipital neuralgia, and chronic pain. We’ve tried everything. From tension headaches to the stabbing shocks of Occipital Neuralgia, we were desperate for real relief. Then we found cold therapy.
It didn’t just help—it saved us.
Sleepless nights? Eased. Endless tears? Fewer. That life-changing relief inspired us to create ReLeafpack—soft, flexible, eco-friendly ice packs designed to bring gentle, effective comfort to those who need it most.
If you know the debilitating pain of a migraine, we made these for you.
💡 Always check with your doctor before trying new treatments. But for us—and thousands of others—cold therapy has been a true lifeline.
Why Cold Therapy Works for Migraines
Cold therapy is uniquely helpful.
“Cold can constrict blood vessels and help reduce the neurotransmission of pain to the brain. Instead of registering pain, it registers ‘oh, that’s cold.’”

- Healthline
Applying cold therapy at the onset of a migraine can significantly reduce pain. It’s not just a soothing sensation—it’s science.
​
Especially effective for migraines.
Research shows that cold packs placed on the neck may help cool the blood flowing to the carotid artery. This, in turn, may reduce inflammation in the brain—often a key contributor to migraine pain.
“This helped to reduce the inflammation in the brain, which helped improve the pain felt by migraine.”
— Dr. Tania Elliott, Chief Medical Officer at EHE
A migraine remedy with a history.
Using cold to treat headaches isn’t new. In fact, cold therapy for head pain goes back over 150 years. It’s stood the test of time for one simple reason: it works.
“Ice is often the go-to to treat pain and inflammation, so it makes logical sense to apply it when your head hurts.”
​
​
On top of restricting the neurotransmission of pain to the brain, anti-inflammatory benefits, and long history of cold therapy for migraines, ice packs can also help with nausea, a feeling too many of us are familiar with when it comes to migraine. An increased body temperature may be the cause of nausea in some cases. Whether this is due to medication, heat in tolerance, or other nervous system factors, placing an icepack on the back of your neck for several minutes can be soothing and helps decrease your core temperature.
