Soothing Migraine Wrap
One of the most common side effects of radiotherapy is fatigue. The fatigue is likely to get worse as your loved one progresses through their treatment. Headaches and general malaise often accompany fatigue and this therapeutic gel beads migraine wrap can help promote relaxation as well as soothing fatigue related headaches. The innovative technology allows the band to be heated in the microwave for warmth or chilled in the refrigerator for cold therapy. For added benefit, the band is fragranced with lavender, mandarin and geranium to help your loved one relax, unwind and feel the stress melt away. Size - 29cm (W) x 10cm (H). Random colour allocation.
MooGoo Skin Milk Udder Cream (120g)
Having dry skin prior to radiotherapy treatment can amplify any potential skin reaction because the skin is not able to heal as quickly. It’s therefore so important that your loved one moisturises and hydrates their skin before and during treatment. MooGoo Natural Skin Milk Udder Cream is used in oncology hospitals and clinics across Australia as a moisturising cream for dry and damaged skin following chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment. MooGoo Natural Skin Milk Udder Cream is a lightweight moisturiser that easily sinks into skin. Made with natural oils like Sweet Almond & Olive Oil, its full of natural healthy ingredients such as Aloe Vera, Natural Vitamin E and Milk Protein with no hidden nasties.
Focus Inhaler Stick
One of the most common side effects of radiotherapy treatment is fatigue and with fatigue comes the inevitable bran fog. The GO2 focus inhaler stick is designed to help increase focus and concentration levels by increasing breathing and stimulating memory function. With a 100% natural essential oil blend using rosemary, added to support memory function, peppermint to stimulate the mind and help with focus, and lime added to lift both body and mind, this pocket size inhaler stick will help your loved one with any concentration issues they may be experiencing.
Peppermint Xylitol Mints (15g)
Patients may feel nauseous during radiotherapy treatment either from the treatment itself or from the fatigue that accompanies the treatment. Mint is well known for easing nausea and we’ve specifically chosen Peppersmith Peppermint flavoured mints because they contain Xylitol. Sucking Xylitol mints can help to relieve a dry mouth that many people experience when undergoing radiotherapy treatment to the head or neck area.
Self Heating Eye Mask (single mask)
A cancer diagnosis is stressful and this self heating eye masks is a pampering treat for anyone facing the stress of a cancer diagnosis. The soothing jasmin scent, combined with the gentle heat and blackout properties can help relax tense, tired eyes.
