Kobayashi Healthcare Kool 'n' Soothe

I have bought these on a few occasions - generally when reduced or on offer as I think they are quite pricey at around £3 for a box of four strips that are single use. I prefer not to use medication unless absolutely necessary, I prefer to use natural remedies and just ride it out. I also prefer not to give medication to either of my children unless I have to.

My son has Aspergers Syndrome and takes everthing literally, so, on knowing that "drugs are bad" and "don't ever take drugs", this was translated literally and he won't even ever take a paracetamol for a headache because paracetomol is a drug! Yes, this is great, and hopefully means that he will never take any kind of illegal drug, but it poses a problem when he has a headache!
