Essential Oils for Headaches

Help for Headache Pain from Subtle Plant Energies

While people have successfully used many essential oils for headaches, lavender is, hands down, the oil of choice.

Because it's so great--and so benign that it's pretty foolproof, even for beginners--lavender essential oil is the only aromatherapy remedy for headaches that I'm going to discuss.

Lavender essential oil has traditionally been used both for headache relief and to promote relaxation. It's so easy to use-- just put some on a kleenex and sniff it from time to time.

Lavender oil is very benign for most people, so you could also mix a few drops with a carrier oil and rub it into your temples, the back of your neck, or anyplace else that is relaxing and relieving to you.

You can purchase lavender essential oil at most health food stores, or online. It's widely available.

My only word of caution would be that some migraine sufferers are very sensitive to smells. If that's you, use lavender oil cautiously in the beginning until you know its effects on you.
