A cold or flu can often bring on sinus headache symptoms: throbbing pain around your eyes, nose, and cheeks. Bending over or laying down make you feel as though your head will explode. This week, I have been suffering from a nasty cold including sinus pain. Remedies from the pharmacy only help so far, so I have been using my eye pillow to help relieve the pain.

My eye pillow is filled with flax seed and adds a gentle weight to the contours of my face. When laid over my aching sinuses, the pillow provides light acupressure to stimulate healing, while the herbs inside help to soothe away the pain. For quickest relief of a sinus headache, I have been cooling the eye pillow in my freezer before using.
