Essential Oil Recipe for Quick Migraine Headache Relief

Migraine headaches are incredibly debilitating. It is estimated that millions of man-hours are

lost every year by workers suffering from migraine headaches. In the USA alone, 37 million people suffer from migraine headaches. More women than men are afflicted with migraines, and they are generally aged between 35-55. Migraines can and do appear in much younger people, some in their teens. Research shows that 91% of migraine sufferers have to miss work and are unable to function normally during an attack. That’s a lot of suffering!

Migraine Headache Symptoms

For some people, preceding the intense pain of a migraine, visual disturbances can be experienced. One might notice the appearance of an aura or little cross-hatches or jagged lines in the visual field which alert that a migraine is on the way. Once the migraine takes hold, in addition to the pain there might be acute sensitivity to bright lights or loud sounds. There may also be throbbing pain in the head, nausea and vomiting, blurred vision, and a whole host of other unpleasant symptoms.

Most would do almost anything to avert or stop a migraine in its tracks, if only they knew what to do! Essential oils can offer surprisingly quick relief to the migraine sufferer. Here is the recipe…

Recipe for Essential Oil Migraine Headache Relief

• 1 medium sized bowl partly filled with cold (i.e. refrigerated) water
• 2 cups ice cubes
• 2 drops marjoram essential oil
• 2 drops ginger essential oil
• 1 drop peppermint essential oil
• 1 small washcloth

Put the ice cubes and the drops of each oil into the bowl of refrigerated water. Stir briefly to mix. The oils will float on top of the water, but that’s okay. Place the washcloth into the oily, icy mixture then place the cloth on the patient’s forehead, being careful to avoid the eyes (always keep essential oils away from eyes).

The cloth can also be applied to the sides of the neck where the carotid arteries lie. When the cloth warms up, dip it into the icy, oily mixture again and keep reapplying until the headache abates. It’s actually quite stunning how quickly it works − usually inside of 10 minutes!
