Guest guest Posted June 9, 2005 Report Posted June 9, 2005 Hi I am looking for some thoughts and ideas on how to use peppermint oil for alleviating the effects of headaches or even the headache itself. I want to add to my post at http://www.blogestates.com/blog/omegafisher/2005/06 Quote
Guest guest Posted June 9, 2005 Report Posted June 9, 2005 Craig, I made a headache oil blend using peppermint oil . . . I have searched for the actual formula but seem to have it stuck somewhere other than where it is supposed to be. It contained peppermint and I believe rosemary or eucalyptus oil in jojoba. If I can locate it, I will post it to the list. Anyway, I have family members that get migraines. They use it and swear it helps if applied as soon as the headache begins and lie down for 1/2 an hour. This didn't help much, did it!! I got the formula from reading a label in a health store. Might go there and see if you can find one to mimic. -Helen Quote
Guest guest Posted June 9, 2005 Report Posted June 9, 2005 I also dilute my peppermint half and half with lavender. Then I dot it along my hairline in about 7 places. Mary in Michigan Quote
Guest guest Posted June 10, 2005 Report Posted June 10, 2005 I've been doing this one 5% Peppermint, 5% Bulgarian Lavender in Isopropyl Myristate. I fill a roller bottle and dab at pulse points, temples and just under my nose--it's kept me out of the hospital ER a LOT.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2005 Report Posted June 10, 2005 Serra, Would cyclomethicone work instead of IPM?

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2005 Report Posted June 11, 2005 It may not absorb as fast but it'd work--if you don't want to use IPM try some Jojoba instead.
