Are you one of those who are plagued with painful headaches on a regular basis? Do you often find yourself looking for natural pain relief alternatives that can provide you relief from even the most painful headaches?
One of the best alternatives you might want to consider is essential oils. In fact, the following essential oils that I will mention later in this post will provide relief from even the most stubborn, persistent headaches. Therefore, make sure that you keep them available in your home whenever needed.
According to these studies, essential oils might improve sleep quality and relief from anxiety and depression.

These essential oils that I will use for today’s recipe are Marjoram, Ginger, and Peppermint essential oils.
Marjoram, also known as Origanum majorana, comes in oil form and is known for its natural analgesic properties. Marjoram could reduce the pain associated with a headache for many people. It is also an antispasmodic. As a result, marjoram helps relieve the tight and even sore muscles that accompany a headache, including a migraine headache.
Ginger technically classified as Zingiber officinale. Ginger helps relieve nausea that is associated with a more severe headache. Based on this juncture in time ginger has been studied rather extensively for its ability to assist with issues in the gastrointestinal tract. Ginger also appears to have pain-relieving properties as well.
Peppermint is yet an essential oil that provides relief from a headache as it helps control blood flow in the body and open up the sinuses for better oxygen flow. Peppermint is also a natural anti-inflammatory. In addition, it has been widely utilized as a digestive aid for generations.
There are many ways that you can use peppermint oil for curing headache like adding a few drops in your bath, using it in an oil diffuser or by making peppermint tea.
By using marjoram, ginger, and peppermint essential oils, you can make your own DIY simple homemade recipe to relieve a headache.
