Some specific essential oils for headache relief are discussed below, and I’ve got some easy headache-relief recipes that utilize essential oils to share. But first, let’s look at why we seem to be susceptible to headaches and how essential oils can help.

Headaches are one of the more common effects of believing in stressful thoughts. Stress causes tension and stagnation in the mind which in turn projects symptoms onto the body. As such, headaches can be taken as a symbol that our beliefs and thinking habits are hurting our minds.

Essential oils carry a high energetic frequency that supports a healthy relationship with our thinking. Essential oils remind us through their vibrational frequency that lower vibrational thoughts are not worthy of our affection.

All of the thoughts that cause stress, such as worry, fear, and sadness melt away when they are seen in love. Essential oils maintain a vibration that resonates with our wisdom and our ability to see through everything that seems to deny love.

There is no cause for pain when everything is seen in love, and essential oils help clear up painful perceptions. 

Essential oils have been well researched, studied, and experienced for their beneficial effects, and they have proven to be a boon to conventional medicine since they seem to work for so many people.

The varieties of essential oils that seem to be most effective for headache relief are comprised of aromatic chemicals that are recognized for their anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. 

Here’s some information about specific essential oils that may be used to guide you to a particular plant ally on your healing adventure:

Top 5 Recommended Essential Oils for Headache Relief:

Here are 5 of my favorite essential oils for headache relief.
 
Any of the following oils can be dabbed on the temples (see the precaution on peppermint), back of the neck, behind the ears, or wrists.
 
If any of the aromas are too strong for the individual or if they are being administered to a child, they can be diluted in carrier oil.
 
They can also be inhaled directly from the bottle, added to a cloth, and placed under a pillowcase, or added to your favorite essential oil diffuser. (I recommend these waterless diffusers.)
