You can make aromatherapy treatments for headaches to heat in a diffuser, drizzle in a bath, massage directly onto your temples or wear as a perfume. Lavender essential oil acts as a general headache remedy, while peppermint is best for sinus pressure headaches.
Instructions
1. Sterilize a 6-oz. dark glass bottle. Place the bottle and lid in small pot of water and heat the water to a rolling boil. After boiling for at least a minute, turn off the heat and allow the water to cool. Once at a comfortable temperature, remove the bottle and led and leave them upside down to dry.
2. Measure carefully into the bottle 30 drops of either lavender or peppermint essential oil, depending on your type of headache. On top, pour 4 tbsp. of sweet almond oil, 1 tbsp. of jojoba oil and 1 tsp. of vitamin E oil.
3. Cap the bottle and shake it gently. Use the remedy now if you like, but make sure that the oils blend properly by shaking the bottle 2 or 3 times each day for the first 3 days.
