Headaches are the worst.
Head Soothing Essential Oil Blend for Headaches
I’m prone to seasonal headaches and even went through a period of time fighting headaches brought on by a concussion. My mom, who rarely gets off her feet, is taken down by migraines.
Headaches, whatever the cause or however severe, make your day a lot more difficult. Thankfully, we can use essential oils to help soothe headaches. We’ll talk about the best essential oils for headaches and how to use them!
Best Essential Oils for Headaches
Made up of Ho Wood, Frankincense, and Lavender Essential Oils, this blend is formulated to ease tension and stress-related headaches. It has a relaxing and calming aroma that you will love.
Ho Wood Essential Oil
Since the aroma of Ho Wood Essential Oil is calming, has a cooling effect on the skin, and has soothing benefits, this oil can be used to ease tension headaches.
Frankincense Essential Oil
Frankincense Essential Oil may have anti-inflammatory properties that are especially good for reducing swelling and inflammation, as per this study.
Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender Essential Oil is a famous oil for calming stress making it a great soother. Lavender Essential Oil may soothe pain and inflammation, as shown in this study2. That’s why we’ve included it not only in our Head Soothing blend but also in our Ladies Choice and Relief Essential Oil Blends.
Head Soothing Blend Uses & Recipes
Aromatic Bath
A bath is a great way to release tension and stress that are often the underlying cause of headaches.
Aromatherapy Inhaler
An aromatic inhaler is a method to inhale essential oils for their aromatic benefits. For stress or anxiety-related headaches, this method creates a fast-acting calm.
Diffusion
Create a relaxing environment by diffusing oils to help ease headache symptoms.
Massage Blend
Sometimes a massage is the best way to relax. Massage your neck to help you relax while Head Soothing Essential Oil Blend works to take care of pain and relax you.
