5 ESSENTIAL OILS FOR NATURAL RELIEF FROM HEADACHES

-

 




If you’re one that suffers from some form of headache, you know how draining they can sometimes be.

You can lie down for a while and hope it passes, or drink lots of water (maybe you’re dehydrated?). However, most of us just pop a pill and hope the pain will go away – and fast.

But what if you could get rid of a headache naturally – without taking any medication?

It turns out you can. Essential oils are great natural home remedies that have been shown to be highly effective in relieving headaches. 

Among other benefits, these little miracle workers are renowned for reducing stress - one of the main causes of headaches and migraines, helping to decongest blocked sinuses, improving blood flow and reducing inflammation.

Peppermint, Lavender, Eucalyptus, Rosemary and Chamomile are 5 of the best essential oils to help get rid of your pain fast and effectively.

1. Peppermint essential oil is one of the most popular essential oils to treat tension headaches. Peppermint contains menthol which help the muscles relax and ease pain. It also lessens the intensity of acute migraines by stimulating blood flow and eliminating inflammation. As menthol is a stimulant, peppermint oil should not be used before bedtime.

2. Lavender essential oil is a natural anti-inflammatory and analgesic, and most well-known for its sedative and calming properties. So if your headaches are caused by stress, this may be your answer for some quick relief, especially before you go to sleep.

3.  Eucalyptus essential oil can become your new best friend. This oil will quickly open up the nasal passages, clear the sinuses and help relieve the sinus tension that often causes the headaches. The anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral and antimicrobial properties of eucalyptus oil help to ease sinus pressure and improve respiratory conditions that lead to headache pain and tension.

4. Rosemary essential oil has stimulating properties, and has been used in folk medicine for hundreds of years to boost circulation and improve alertness. However, it’s powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties can also reduce stress, provide relief for pain, and improve circulation, all of which can help headaches. 

5. Chamomile essential oil is a sedative that relaxes the body and soothes muscles, so is perfect for headaches. Chamomile can also help calm your body and your mind.

Note: If you’re experiencing headaches that are frequent or severe, you should get them checked out by a doctor before exploring alternative remedies.

There's a difference between an essential oil or simply an oil, which is basically a perfume. If a label does not clearly state that it is an 'essential oil,' then it is not a pure oil and should not be used as suggested. I use and trust Young Living Essential Oils because their are pure oils and of great quality.


With Love 💚

 The New Moon invites us to look inside ourselves, a moment of retreating in reflection and getting in touch with our shadows and our profound emotions. It's a time of recognition of things we carry and don't want anymore, sometimes forgiving someone or yourself is a way to recognize the weight we carry and want to leave behind. Write a letter to yourself, describing situations you would like to transform, habits you want to leave or forgive and release the hurt and resentments, describe what it takes, this letter is confidential. After writing the letter, read it again. And then burn it in the fire, let the fire element transform that energy, and leave the past behind.

CARRIER OILS + ESSENTIAL OILS

  You can use essential oils in several ways, but one of the most important ways is to use them topically with a Carrier Oil. What is a carrier oil? Carrier oils are essentially the base oils that you dilute essential oils in before applying them on your skin. Essential oils are too potent to be applied to the skin directly. The other benefit of diluting essential oils with carrier oils is that carrier oils do not evaporate from the skin surface quickly and remain fixed on the skin. Probably the reason why they are also known as carrier oils. 😄 Carrier oils are also called vegetable oils, though they are also extracted from seeds, kernels, or nuts of different plants.  How to use carrier oils? To use essential oils, you must dilute them in a carrier oil according to the dilution ratio suggested. According to experts, you must use the following dilution ratio  recommended for adults: 3% dilution – 20 drops of essential oil for one ounce of carrier oil. Types of carrier oi...
