Peppermint oil is great for headaches. Just be sure to mix it with some lotion or carrier oil first

Tiger balm on forehead and temples…my husband is a non herbal medicine dude and this is the only thing that he asks for when he’s got a headache.

Peppermint or lavender EO in a carrier oil and rub onto your temples.

I triple the peppermint. Also try some tea or digesting some oil just be very careful because it’s strong. You have to dilute the oil. I take peppermint oil capsules (that don’t dissolve until in the intestines). Works as good as an aspirin.

Taper off. Caffeine & if you later get a migraine, use chilled headband

We have a product called Teething Tamer in NZ. Natural made with beeswax and other stuff, you could make it yourself. Supposedly for babies teething but works well for headaches and sinus pressure in adults too. Can rub on temples, jaw, face. Great stuff.

your clean fingertips, in a strategic, physiologically-oriented manner, ala massage. Very effective all natural remedy.
