Headache Inhalant
1 d. Rose oil
1 d. Basil oil
1 d. Orange oil
1 d. Rosemary oil
Mix together in palm of hand. Rub hands together briskly and cup over nose and mouth. Inhale deeply through nose 3 times. Wipe off excess oils on a tissue or cotton pad and place in baggie for use throughout the day.
Do NOT get into eyes. If you get Essential Oils into eyes, flush with a vegetable oil, NOT with water!
Bath for Headache Relief
3 drops Chamomile
3 drops Lavender
2 drops Marjoram
1 drop Thyme
1 drop Peppermint
Fill bath tub with very warm water (NOT HOT). Add Essential Oils after the tub is full. Disperse oils through the water immediately before getting in. (Doing so prevents the oils from puddling into 1 area.) Soak, inhale deeple and relax for 20-30 minutes.
Headache Salts
3/4 C Epsom Salts
1/2 C Baking Soda
1/4 C Fine Sea Salt Crystals
1/8 C Corn Starch
5 Drops each Peppermint, Lavender, Eucalyptus, Rosemary Essential Oils
1 Drop Blue Food Coloring
Blend salts, soda and corn starch by hand in a large bowl. Add Oils one drop at a time until strong fragrance is achieved. Blend 2 drops drop Blue colorant until color is mixed throughout salts.
Headache Tea
Pour 2 cups boiling water over 3 tablespoons dried primrose flowers and leaves. Let stand, covered, about 15 minutes. Strain and sweeten.
Drink warm or hot. Use 1 heaping Tsp of dried Chamomile flowers for each cup of boiling water. Steep 10 minutes. Strain and sweeten with honey.
Naturally Dull a Tension Headache
Dull a Tension headache by massaging a few drops of Peppermint Essential Oil (Mentha piperita) into your temples. Peppermint works as well as 1,000 mg of acetaminophen, the main ingredient in aspirin, according to one German study.
Herb experts don't know exactly how it works, but the Peppermint appears to prevent your body from sending pain signals to your central nervous system.
Migraine Tea
1 2/3 oz. St. Johns Wort
1 oz Valerian
1 oz. Linden Flowers
1/4 oz. Juniper Berries
Use 1 tsp. of the mixture per cup of boiling water. Steep for 10 min, strain and sweeten. This tea helps dilate blood vessels and improve Circulation. If your Headaches are triggered by weather, drink the tea as the weather is changing
Headache Cures
excerpt from Travelers Joy p. 102-103 by Juliette de Bairacli Levy
For a headache, make a strong brew of wild or garden Mint (not Peppermint). Take strong drinks of this frequently. Apply the Mint cold on cotton cloths to the entire forehead, and bandage lightly in place. Or pound up a handful of Lavender sprigs, wild or garden, and infuse them into vinegar for several hours.
Then apply this Lavender vinegar to the forehead, using cotton cloths in the same way as the Mint brew. Apply also to the wrists and to the nose. A few drops can be taken internally on a lump of sugar, three times daily. Mint vinegar can be made if Lavender is not available.
Treat very severe Headaches as an illness, and rest in a darkened room and follow a diet of fresh fruits only until the headache is cured. To induce sleep, make a strong tea of wild poppy flowers or heads, and take with honey. Or a tea of Lime blossoms or Hops or cowslips (can be used alone or mixed) all sweetened with honey.
Help can be had by use of the 'cool' things such as slices of Lemon, raw potato or cucumber, rubbed and patted onto the temples and across the back of the neck. Direct exposure of the head to hot sunlight is a common cause of headache often severe. The wise nomad people always protect their heads from sunlight, wearing cotton scarves, or turbans, or hats of straw. (Nylon and other plastics are useless.)
For extra protection, keep the headwear sprinkled with cold water. Keep renewing the water if needed. My choice is a wide cotton scarf, and I dampen it well before putting it onto my head.
