Just about everyone is familiar with some sort of headache pain, yet most are not aware of the many natural alternatives to conventional pain killers for headache relief. Headaches being far more common than even the common cold, it is not surprising that about 85 percent of over-the-counter analgesics are bought for headache treatment.
Also what don’t few know is that long-term use of these painkillers may in itself cause headaches. I am an advocate for phytotherapy & Aromatherapy healiing. As a Massage Therapist, Aromatherapy Practioner and through all my studies and research, I have found that essential oils and herbs combined with massage ( Aromatherapy Massage) offer a much better and safer, alternative.
Not just for headaches, but for any ailment or concern one may have.

In our norm of society, now a days many headaches are related to stress. Their cause can sometimes be vast and can be connected to imbalance in the body, such as liver disorder (as is often the case with migraines), sluggish digestion, not sleeping enough, colds, upper respiratory infections, countless allergies, caffeine withdrawal, menstruation, plus many others. When using aromatherapy for your healing of headaches, it is best to consult an aromatherapy practioner, for the most effective headache blend and treatment, since determining where the headache originated ( meaning from what part of the cranial) will narrow down which essential oil blend is recommended to work according to different mechanisms.
Following are a couple headache remedies, that combine several oils together, and hence work through the synergistic combinations of the plants, herbs, flowers.
Peppermint oil is a traditional aromatherapy remedy and works fairly quick too. Try this for a headache:
Apply it as a compress ( put a couple drops onto a damp wash cloth or gauze) or straight, one or two drops to the back of the neck, by the occipital bone. Peppermint's known for being analgesic, uplifting and mentally clearing. You can also mix with Rosemary essential oil, which works with Peppermint.
