Use These Essential Oils For Headaches
Essential oil therapy may sound like pseudo-science, but some studies back its ability to relieve headaches. During a 2013 study, participants who smelled lavender oil felt better after 15 minutes. In The Clinical Journal of Pain, another study saw positive results when scientists mixed peppermint oil with a massage gel.
Why do some essential oils work? According to Phytomedicine, they can relax muscles in your head. For some headaches, smelling or massaging essential oils could relieve some pain. If you apply them topically, dilute the oils in a carrier oil or lotion first.
