'Sweet relief': This heated eye massager is over 60% off — down to $59
There's nothing quite like a warm compress, a sweet temple massage and some chill tunes to set us right when we're stressed. Why not treat yourself to a gadget that does all three? Reviewers say the ultra-relaxing, futuristic-looking Renpho Eye Massager even nips migraines in the bud. Fantastic! The fan favorite is currently over 60% off at Amazon, so it's a great time to gift one to yourself (or someone special in your life).
The Renpho Eye Massager uses both heat and massage to enhance relaxation and to help ease migraine pain.
There are a few possible ways these elements can help with migraines, Medhat Mikhael, M.D., pain management specialist and medical director at the Spine Health Center at MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, Calif., tells Yahoo Life. "A lot of people feel that some of the main triggers of migraine are stress and lack of sleep," he says. "Massage can be a preventive measure. If you get a massage regularly, your stress may be relieved, you may sleep better and your triggers of migraine don't happen."
When you're actually in the throes of a migraine episode, massaging the top of the back of your neck may help ease the pain, Mikhael says. However, some people may get relief from massage around the eyes during a migraine, while others may find it's too much.
As for heat, Mikhael says that it can help relax muscles that can feed into migraine pain. And, like massage, it may be helpful to apply it to the top of the back of your neck during a migraine episode. Otherwise, applying heat around your eyes may be helpful for allowing you to relax, he says.
But back to this particular mask. It's essentially like a personal masseuse tending to your temples as you recline and listen to soothing sounds. That's right: it can even play music through a Bluetooth connection while it works its magic.
The headband is adjustable to help get that just-right fit, and it folds up compactly for easy portability.
A whopping 13,000-plus fans have given this massager a perfect review, sharing that it's helped with everything from relaxing before bed to soothing tired eyes to offering relief when bad headaches strike.
"Sweet relief!," raved a shopper. "I received this product on a day when I was having a massive migraine. Not only did it provide relief, but it relaxed me to the point I could fall asleep. If I’d complain about anything, it would be a lack of control on the pressure intensity. In spite of that, still a five-star product."
Speaking of which: One five-star reviewer said that "it helps me sleep. I put it on before I attempt to sleep, and it relaxes my eyes, which helps tremendously. My eye muscles have been so stressed they make sleeping difficult. This machine has helped me so much. ... I'm grateful to have it. When I wake up in the middle of the night, and can't get my eyes to relax, I use this for 15 minutes and go back to sleep. It's a literal lifesaver."
"Can't live without it," wrote another verified buyer. "This eye massager cured my insomnia as well as my vestibular migraines. It takes my migraine away at the start. I love the heating and vibration on my eyes."
"You guys, I never take the time to make reviews, but this thing: It is next-level," said another satisfied reviewer. "My headache is gone. Not only does it give you gentle heat and eye rubs, it also massages your temples, which is a total soft spot for me. I’m in awe. I feel so relaxed. The pressure is so perfect. How they made this thing feel like hands rubbing my head is just such a mystery. I’m so excited I found this. Absolutely get it if you have eye pain and strain, and for headache, anxiety relief."
Again, this mask is 61% off right now, but this deal won't last. Snatch up your own personal eye massager at a hefty discount while you still can.
