How to Make Aromatherapy Oil for Headaches
You can make aromatherapy treatments for headaches to heat in a diffuser, drizzle in a bath, massage directly onto your temples or wear as a perfume.
Lavender
essential oil acts as a general headache remedy, while peppermint is best for sinus pressure headaches.
Things You'll Need:
6-oz. dark glass bottle (sterilized)
Small pot of water
30 drops of lavender essential oil
30 drops of peppermint essential oil
4 tbsp. sweet almond oil
1 tbsp. jojoba oil
1 tsp. vitamin E oil
1
Sterilize a 6-oz. dark glass bottle. Place the bottle and lid in small pot of water and heat the water to a rolling boil. After boiling for at least a minute, turn off the heat and allow the water to cool. Once at a comfortable temperature, remove the bottle and led and leave them upside down to dry.
2
Measure carefully into the bottle 30 drops of either lavender or peppermint essential oil, depending on your type of headache. On top, pour 4 tbsp. of sweet almond oil, 1 tbsp. of jojoba oil and 1 tsp. of vitamin E oil.
3
Cap the bottle and shake it gently. Use the remedy now if you like, but make sure that the oils blend properly by shaking the bottle 2 or 3 times each day for the first 3 days.
Tips & Warnings
You should store your remedy, carrier oils and essential oils in dark glass containers in a cool, dark location to preserve the beneficial properties and extend their shelf lives.
