As you know, I’m all about healing naturally.  I came across a summit that offers natural solutions for headache relief. Erin Knight specializes in helping people heal their headaches and migraines naturally, and essential oils are a huge part of her protocols.

She’s hosting the Chronic Headache and Migraine Online Summit that you MUST sign up for. It’s free to the public, and it’s going to be great! 

But first, I want to share my three top essential oils for major headache relief.

If you’ve ever used lotions or soaps with lavender and rosemary essential oil, you’ve surely noticed how quickly these aromatic plant compounds can affect your mood and stress level.

Having been prone to headaches for as long as I can remember, I have always been eager to learn about and try different tools for relaxation, in an effort to ward off headaches.

Along with diet and sleep upgrades, one of the easiest recommendations to implement is the use of essential oils for supporting the body through different types of stress. Essential oils are becoming increasingly popular in self-care routines as people discover the many applications for health, beauty, and home. I use oils daily and could happily tell you about 30 ways someone with headaches could benefit – but I’ll get straight to my top 3 that you may not have ever tried.

My favorite oils for 3 different varieties of headaches are:

Weather headaches:

When the pressure in my head rises in sync with the intensity of the storm rolling into town, I reach for frankincense. Dabbing a bit of frankincense oil around the temples and hairline of my neck, I can feel the drainage of lymphatic fluid from my head in mere moments. If bad weather is in the forecast, I’ll even do this a couple of times a day to be proactive.

Neck and muscle tension headaches:

My go to oil for neck and muscle tension is a special blend from doTERRA called Past Tense®. This amazing minty fresh blend can melt away tension before it even turns into a headache for me and the many friends and clients who have tried mine and begged me to get them one. I keep this one at my desk, because long hours on the computer are the main reason my shoulders get tight.

Mental stress headaches:

When my mind is racing and I have too much to do, I find a blend of clove and lime right behind the ears on the vagal nerve pressure point to be instantly soothing. The combination helps your body switch from fight-or-flight mode to rest-and-digest mode.

When it comes down to it, most essential oils have calming, soothing, or restorative properties so don’t be afraid to experiment and create your own rituals. These are just a few that I’ve found to be tremendously helpful.
