30 drops of peppermint oil.

 

Mix thoroughly and gently massage temples and forehead with the

mixture. Place a small amount near your nostrils and inhale this

relaxing scent. This should bring relief for most headaches. If the

pain persists; massage the back of your neck and fleshy area between

your thumb and index finger as well.
