My wife has menstrual headache when she start to bleed each month. The intense headache does not go away for a couple of day. It also keep her from sleeping.When I feel her head it is warm to my touch, so one day I decided to use rubbing alcohol 70 % isopropyl to soke her head with it. The theory goes that evaporation of the alcohol will cool her head out. As the alcohol evaporates, it cools her head down. She tells me effect brings relieve to her headache. She tells me that the headache goes away very quickly. You can count down from 20 and the pain just go away. This alows her to sleep better at night time. Before she has tried all sort of pain medication over the counter such as motrim and tylenol, but nothing works for her. This alcohol treatment is what we use now. The only thing is that alcohol will make her hair dry.
