it does help a lot.
I started using it because my teeth and especially my upper gums were sometimes the most painful area during an attack.
I also rub it on my temple, just inside my ear and along what I believe are the trigeminal nerve paths. The local numbing does not reach the inner source of pain but even this much relief is welcome during a really bad attack.
I use the Ora-jel, but I also continue blowing hot air on my head, and breathing steam from a mug of coffee.
You can imagine I do not want anyone to witness this little ritual.
