My Top 5 Essential Oils Against Headaches

Its been years since I have used painkillers (knocking on wood…); I have decided to switch to a more natural alternative method to fight occasional headaches: my own blend of essential oils against headaches. There are many essentials oils that can be used to relieve headaches way more safely than painkillers;  If  doubtful, I suggest you try this essential oil blend recipe and make up your mind after that!

Commercial pain killers can have undesirable seconds effects; they can also can become addicting. did you know that many of the painkilling drugs have a slightly sedative and sometime even a depressing effect?

In this blend I use peppermint essential oil which will provide a cooling effect; Peppermint, eucalyptus, cajeput, lavender, vetiver and rosemary essential oils are all analgesic, meaning they are natural painkillers! Vetiver oil is rubefacient and Marjoram (meaning it’s warming and increases blood flow) so this will give a warming effect on the skin. Basically once applied on skin, it will feel hot and then cold, hot and cold, hot and cold!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • You can use this blend of essential oils for headaches by rubbing on your temples, forehead and back of neck. You can also add a few drops of the essential oils blend on a old compress and and back of your neck. It also help to breath and inhale deeply the blend for a few minutes.
  • While I will share my essential oil recipe blend for headache relief, I think it is essential to find the root of the problem; whether it is hormonal, stress related or because of your diet, please consult your naturopath or MD if you have recurring headaches or migraines.
  • If you are making this blend of essential oils against headaches, please let me know how you liked it on Facebook; Twitter or Google Plus

  • I would love to make this, but I find I don't react well to Lavender essential oil. I haven't found ANY headache roller recipes without Lavender....do you think it would work if I just omit Lavender from the recipe?

    • yes, peppermint and cajeput will work their magic, you can remove lavender if you don't like it!
