Headache Home Remedy: Lavender Oil. Not only does lavender smell great â itâs also a useful home remedy for headaches and migraine pain. Lavender oil can be either inhaled or applied topically. Two to four drops for every two to three cups of boiling water are recommended when inhaling lavender-oil vapors as a headache treatment. Unlike many medicinal oils, this home remedy can also be safely applied externally without the need to dilute it.
Lavender and rosemary oils, for instance, are soothing oils that relieve pain and ease tension. Both oils are used to treat PMS symptoms and hormonal imbalances, including headaches and migraine attacks. Another major headache trigger is stress, which can be reduced by using lavender and peppermint oil aromatically. Changes in sleeping patterns can also lead to a headache â luckily, lavender works as a mild sedative that helps people suffering from insomnia or a lack of sleep. Headaches may also be the result of intense physical exertion, allergies, sinus pressure, certain foods and sensory stimuli.
