My grandmother has chronic headaches that have gotten really bad in the last year. She has had her doctor run scans to try and diagnose, but they have no idea what is causing it. The headaches are so severe that she is unable to speak during them. Her doctor has given her a strong pain killer she is only allowed to take once a day, which only gives her small relief. So I decided to make her an essential oil headache balm, after having good personal experience with peppermint essential oils for my headaches. Today she called me to say she didn’t need take her pain killer yesterday because the balm was doing the trick!
In a small container mix:
5 tbls coconut oil (might want to work in some bee wax to help keep it solid)
4 drops lavender essential oils
4 drops rosemary essential oils
8 drops peppermint essential oils
4 drops lavender essential oils
4 drops rosemary essential oils
8 drops peppermint essential oils
Use: inhale for aromatherapy, or rub on forehead, temples, and/or back of the neck.
