I bought little tins to put them in and made a label from my Brother P-Touch Label Maker. You could put it a little jar or whatever you have at home. Store it at room temperature.
You may be tempted to put it in the fridge. I tried that and it was too hard to use. Room temperature is best so it’s soft and easy to apply.
Headaches suck and I’m always looking for easy ways to take the pain down a notch or two.
