Headaches, part One

You'll find that headaches will come up frequently.

Since I was 12, I have battled migraines and frequent headaches. Plus if any medication or prescriptions cautions that "it may cause headaches," I am all but guaranteed to get one.

Needless to say, I am not a fan of all this.

Headaches started the foray into EOs. Here's the first homemade blend I made:

I referenced the site Aromaweb has on headaches.

In a 5ml roller bottle:

  • 4 drops of Peppermint
  • 4 drops of Eucalyptus
  • Filled the rest with fractionated coconut oil
Guess what - it works. And no medications needed, no rebound headaches from medication, no upset stomach from medications.

I haven't had a migraine (thank goodness), but we'll see when that time comes whether I am brave enough to forego the prescription for a bit to give the EOs a try.
