DEW
a vaporizer designed to provide a non-drug alternative to treating migraines
DEW is a vaporizer designed to provide a non-drug alternative to treating migraines. Migraine is an extraordinarily prevalent neurological disease, affecting one billion men, women and children worldwide. The market for migraine treatment is currently dominated by painkillers that provide relief for only 50 percent of patients, often with significant side effects. DEW offers an drug-free alternative. Developed in collaboration with the medical device company BrainCool AB, DEW applies BrainCool’s patented cooling technology in the form of a vaporized spray that the user breathes in. Ingested through the nasal cavity, this cooling mist provides pain relief in a form that is holistic, aesthetically pleasant and non-addictive.
