All of the essential oils in this blend are excellent for headaches of all kinds. The scent alone is calming, uplifting, and immediately starts to reduce pain. Peppermint is a mild analgesic (meaning it relieves pain). It’s cooling, helps with stress and focus, and has even been shown to help with migraines. Eucalyptus helps focus, has a fresh and cool feeling, and is anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic. Lavender helps with stress, is also an analgesic, and is especially good for tension headaches. Rosemary is stimulating, helps concentration and fatigue, and is another analgesic. Frankincense and vetiver help with stress and focus.
**Please note that it is important to avoid concentrated essential oils if you are pregnant or epileptic.
