A headache relief roller is filled with a recipe of essential oils. Many people swear by the use of oils and feel that they assist with many headaches and much more.

The essential oils found in a headache relief roller are typically lavender, peppermint, eucalyptus and rosemary.

Headaches usually have a trigger of some kind that kicks the headache off in your body. It may be stress, hormones, allergies, physical exertion, foods, sinus pressure or even sensory stimuli. I think we can agree there are many types of headaches!

Lavender and rosemary are known to assist with pain and also help ease tension. These are also commonly used to treat PMS and hormonal imbalances.

Peppermint has a cooling effect and when applied to the forehead it can help increase blood flow to that area.

Eucalyptus oils are known to be an expectorant and definitely helps if the headache is due to sinuses or allergies.

HOW DO I APPLY THE HEADACHE RELIEF ROLLER?

Using a headache relief roller is so easy.

All you have to do is remove the lid and roll the roller portion on the temples, back of neck and shoulders. These are the areas that seem to really help when you have headaches and migraines.

It is time to add the mixture to the roller container.

Take a dropper and use it to transfer the essential oil mixture from the bowl to the roller container.

1 thought on “Essential Oil Headache Relief Roller”

  1. Would this be okay for my 12 year old and 15 year olds to use? I keep a roller in my purse that isn’t specifically for headaches but it has lavender in it and I find that it works to keep me calmer in various situations (like crazy traffic). I purchased it through a demonstration and don’t have the recipe so I don’t know the exact amounts of each oil – only the ones that were used.
    Also, it has worked when my daughter has an itchy mosquito bite!
