Headaches can be a real day stopper and have the unpleasant gift of showing up at the most inconvenient times!  I don’t like over the counter medicine and love to find alternatives.  So, when a headache shows up during my busy day of work, the house and kids, I need some ways to cure the pain at home with quick and natural remedies.  

I gathered up my tried and true and am happy to share with you my favorite ways to cure a headache at home: 

Eucalyptus Oil: 

Applying eucalyptus oil to your forehead can be incredibly soothing for stress headaches in the same manner as peppermint oil. (see below) Like peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil can soothe, relax muscles and clear nasal passages.  It’s great to inhale as well, because it has anti microbial properties that can help attack germs and viruses that may be causing the headache. Either put a few drops of eucalyptus oil into a bowl of steaming water and inhale deeply or take advantage of our Eucalyptus Oil Shower Spray, while enjoy a nice shower or bath!

Peppermint Oil: 


This is a good one to keep in the car!  Store a little bottle of peppermint oil in your glove box for those headaches on the go. Rubbing even a few drops on your temples has proven to relieve the pain of tension headaches. Peppermint oil creates a relaxing cooling sensation once in contact with the skin and helps ease the tension in your head and neck muscles. The scent also has the power to calm your nerves and clear your sinus passages, which can help greatly if your headache is caused by stress or sinus pressure.

Lavender Oil: 

Lavender’s scent has an incredibly strong effect on the nervous system, including relieving problems such as sleep issues, anxiety and stress, which can all contribute to headaches. Some evidence suggests that lavender can even help relieve the pain of even the migraines! Simply place a few drops of lavender essential oil on your pillow, create a spray by diluting the oil in water and spray into the room around you, create a lavender sachet or brew a cup of lavender tea to take full advantage of this natural headache reliever.




Of course there are some other common home remedies that should not be forgotten.  

• Hydrate!  Try to drink 2-3 liters per day.
• Sleep!  Get 7-9 hours each night. 
• Massage!  Gently massage your middle and index finger at your temples.
• Relax! We over schedule ourselves too often.  Stop.  Pause.  Breathe deeply.
