Potent Remedies for Tension Headaches

 

Headache Oil

 

massage oil for tension headaches

1 Tbsp vegetable oil

10 drops Lavender essential oil

5 drops Peppermint essential oil

200 IU Vitamin E (optional)

 

In an amber glass bottle, add the essential oils and vegetable oil.

Add the vitamin E. Shake well to mix completely. Label with

directions for use. To use, warm a few drops of the concentrated oil

and apply to the temples of the head and just beyond the hairline.

Typically this area is sore to the touch if the headache is severe.

Gently massage this area with a light pressure. Inhale the essences

from cupped hands following the massage. Breathe slowly and

concentrate on the breath.

 

Aromatic Footbath for Headache Relief

 

2 Tbsp Castile lotion (or other carrier)

4 drops Lavender essential oil

2 drops Peppermint essential oil

a basin or tub

cold water

a towel

 

Fill tub or basin (large enough to hold both feet comfortably) half

full with cold water. To the castile lotion soap, or other carrier

that you have chosen, add the essential oils and mix well. Add to

the water and stir with your hands. Soak both feet in the cold

aromatic water for 15 to 20 minutes. Sit comfortably while doing the

foot bath. Concentrate on breathing slowly and deeply. Relax.
