She said: "I've got a hack for healing kid's boo-boos, and all it takes is that pack of marshmallows that you've got somewhere in the back of your pantry.

"Grab yourself some mini marshmallows and a zip lock baggy and away you go. You're just going to pour those right into a small zip-lock bag, lay it out flat, get all the air out and then its ready for the freezer.

"Once it's been in there for three hours then it's ready to go.

"The good thing about this hack is that marshmallows get really cold in the freezer but they still stay soft so you can form around where the owie is."

One user commented: "I love this idea, thank you," while another said: "I am totally trying this for my next migraine!!"

A third said: "Oh my, I have young adults and a teen and never saw or heard of this. AMAZING."
