4head - Sponsor of the 4head Garden



What is 4head?
4head is a natural medicine which has begun to revolutionise the way we treat headache. Its active ingredient, levomenthol, is extracted from Mentha piperita, one of the many species of medicinal plants whose heritage 4head is proud to celebrate and promote in its sponsorship of The 4head Garden.

How does it work?
As its name implies, 4head is quite simply applied directly to the forehead, using a convenient, wind-up, pocket pack. The action of levomenthol is believed to exert both central and peripheral effects, which reduce sensitivity to pain signals. Levomenthol is also thought to work by relaxing the muscles involved in tension headaches. When applied, an initial sensation of tingling and coldness is followed by an analgesic effect.

Natural pain relief - without pills
Some people are uneasy about taking pills - perhaps because they find them inconvenient or hard to swallow, or perhaps because of worries about possible side effects. 4head helps avoid the prospect of side effects that can be associated with painkillers taken orally, such as the possibility of stomach irritation with aspirin.

People like 4head
A survey of more than 100 frequent headache sufferers who used 4head found that 55% achieved noticeable relief from their headaches within 15 minutes of 4head application.

4head is widely available from pharmacies and supermarkets, priced at £5.95 (RSP). Each pack provides well over 100 applications. 4head contains levomenthol. Always read the label.
