Hi. I suffer from cluster headaches. I use essential oils for treating my headaches. I have to say they are very helpful. You have chamomile, lavender and peppermint oils for headache treatment. I like lavender oil. My doctor told me to combine the essential oil with carrier oil and to gently massage around the temples, neck and shoulders. Don`t use massage if you suffer from migraine headaches. Inhale a few drops of essential oil (through handkerchief. Add a few drops to your bath. I was also told I should try massage or acupuncture. Massage sounds good, but I think acupuncture is more effective.
