Peppermint Oil for Migraines?


Question:
So I thought I'd try the peppermint oil for migraines, but how do you use it? Do you smell it or rub it on your head or what?

Answers:
I have never tried peppermint oil for migraines but I will next time I get one. I would bet you would rub it on but smelling it would be great also. It beats the bullet and hammer method that I consider each and every time I get one.

Sandy :O) LOL
Massage the oil into your temples.
You can massage it into your temples... however I have one of thoes oil burners... you place a tea light under it and put a few drops of the peppermint in it and let it heat up and fill the room. I find it works better that way.
Try rubbing it on your temples and the back of your neck where your head meets your spine. That seemed to help when I tried it.
There's a new development in migraine therapy:

There is no medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation;
Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.
Acupuncture is the best treatment. I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.
Avoid late sleeping if possible;spicy, sour, stale bakery foods and alcohole.
Sweet foods, sweet fruits, milk, rice and good sleep will help you.
But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it isvery strong.
If it is acute pl search a painful point 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.
