While the concept of aromatherapy has been around for about 100 years there are an increasingly large number of people who absolutely swear by essential oils. They claim that they are not only a pleasant addition to the home, but they also can improve a person’s mood and health. In particular, people seem to praise lavender essential oil. This scent has been cited as one of the best for inducing relaxation and alleviating headaches.
If you’ve tried everything else and want to try a somewhat unconventional method, consider looking into essential oils. Add a dab or two of the essential oil to a damp washcloth and apply to your forehead while lying down in the dark. The combination of low lights, soft bed, and soothing essential oils has been a successful combination for many migraine sufferers.
