Sinol Headache Relief

Hi, I'm new here... been lurking for a while but never posted. I was wondering if anyone has ever tried Sinol and what their experiences were? Amazon seems to have good reviews but I know that people often get paid to write good reviews so I wanted some input from people who are unbiased before I buy it!

  1. I have not used that particular product, but I do use one that is similar only on occasion for cluster headache attacks, not migraine. Please note that the active ingredient is Caspsacin (i.e. red pepper). It is a nasal spray, so you would be spraying red pepper up your nose. Like I said, I do get good results from it for cluster headaches. For migraine, it only irritates my nose and worsens the pain. I've talked to a lot of people who do not have good response. Only a few people get benefit from it. Like you said, buyer beware.

    1. Thanks for the feedback! I knew about the pepper spray, but thought a few minutes of jalapeno up my nose would be worth it if the headache went away. This is the 7th day in a row I've had a migraine - just about anything sounds good!

      1. If you decide to try it, let me know how it goes. Based on the feedback I've gotten from friends, you've got a 50/50 chance of either improvement or worsening. Nobody has ever told me it did nothing.

        1. Made mine way worse!!! Buyer beware!
