6. Use Essential Oils
You probably hear the term “essential oil” used loosely. To give you an accurate description, the term essential oil is used to describe concentrated liquids containing aromatic compounds from various plants. There are many benefits that you can get by using essential oils.
Most essential oils are used topically but there are a select few that can be ingested. Be cautious when using ingestible essential oils and be sure to read the list of side effects as well as proper dosage instructions to avoid any issues. When it comes to alleviating headaches, lavender and peppermint essential oils are gonna be your best bet.
When you apply peppermint essential oil to your temples, you’ll see an immediate reduction in the severity of your tension headache symptoms. For more severe headaches such as migraines, lavender oil has been a proven remedy. Lavender is often inhaled or applied to the upper lip as opposed to being used topically.
