Headaches, Migranes and Essential Oils
M-Grain:
Relieves pain from both headaches and severe migraine
headaches. It is Anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic.
Ingredients:
Marjoram (Origanum Majorana)
Is anti-inflammatory and is used to treat sore and aching
muscles. It relieves muscle spasms and migraine headaches
and calms the nerves.
Lavender (Lavendula Angustifolia)
Is anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic. High in aldehydes and esters,
it combats insomnia, stress, and nervous tension.
Peppermint ( Mentha Piperita)
Has powerful pain-blocking, anti-inflammatory, and anti-
spasmodic properties. A 1994 double-blind, placebo-controlled,
randomized cross-over study at the University of Kiel in Germany
found that peppermint oil had a significant analgesic effect, effectively
blocking headache pain. (Gobel etal., 1994)
Basil (Ocimum Basilicum)
Combats muscle spasms and inflammation. It is relaxing to both
striated and smooth muscles (involuntary muscles such as the
heart and digestive system.)
Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum Nobile)
Is a strong anti-inflammatory and reduces muscle spasms.
Helichrysum (Helichrysum Italicum)
Is a powerful anaesthetic and analgesic. It quenches pain and
inflammation and reduce muscle spasms.
Application:
Diffuse, directly inhale, or add 2-4 drops to bath water. Apply on
brain stem, forehead, crown, shoulders, back of neck, temples and
foot Vita Flex points. Put 4-8 drops on cotton ball and locate on vents.
For sensitivity skin dilute 1 part M-Grain to 1 part vegetable oil.
When a person has a headache here is what you can do to relieve
it.
Take one drop of peppermint in the palm of the hand and cup over
the nose inhale then take away. Almost instantly your headache
should start to lift. The second time after cupping the nose the
headache should be gone.
But if it doesn't lift then you need to know what could be the cause
of the headache. There are
so many reasons for the cause of a headache.
Stress related:
If it is caused from stress then apply Aroma Siez across the shoulders
and neck to relax the muscles, Peace & Calming behind the ears,
then one drop of peppermint in the hand and have them cup their nose.
That should lift it. If it doesn't then use M-grain in place of peppermint.
Sugar related headache:
Here you would apply Thieves over the pancreas to balance the
pancreas and Peppermint or M-grain.
Sinus related headache:
R.C. in hand and cup nose and then peppermint and cup. Can
swab the nasal passage with R.C.
As you can see from the description of the oils that are in M-grain
you can understand why it works so well. It is so great to have
these oils to help raise the bodies immune.
Below are several testimonies about people with headaches and
migraines and what work best for them.
DiAnna K.
I get severe migrains and thought to try the M-grain oil, low and behold it really works. I just rub a couple of drops on the area of my head that is aching and within minutes the pain is subsided or completely gone. I now carry the oil in my purse and whenever I feel a headache coming on, on goes the oil and usually the headache.

I asked someone at a lunch their best LIFETIME tip they swear by. They replied, go get some ESSENTIAL OIL (peppermint) and use it for stuffiness, sinus issues and HEADACHES. Well I try it for the sinus stuffiness and yes it works well. Wow is it strong!!
So then while carrying it in my pocket at work, someone gets a HEADACHE, I give them peppermint, a few drops for the temples, under the nose and the neck and chin. Gone in 10 minutes. Long story short, I kid you not, I've since given it to 10 people with headacjhes.....9 out of 10 gone within 10 minutes or LESS. I think one was gone in under 5 minutes. We actually have bets on how long before the headache is gone!! It's truly an amazing thing. I wish all the oils had this instant gratification. GREAT OIL for a conversation opener!!! Get yourself a bottle TODAY!!

I just started using essential oils, for reasons other than that they smell nice, after attending a Young Living workshop. I have had increasingly debilitating migraines for the last 10 years. I have prescription medication that makes me feel fuzzy and out of it when I take it, and it doesn't always work. I tried m-grain for my last two episodes. I was amazed! While it didn't completely take the headache away, it was minimized to such a significant degree I was able to go to work and function quite well. I am also using other oils, such as lavendar for relaxation, and harmony for meditation.
This all feels quite miraculous to me and I will continue purchasing and experimenting with other oils. I've also purchased some excellent publications that help explain the science behind all of this. I'm afraid I've become quite annoying to my friends and family as I preach to anyone who will listen about the benefits of essential oils!

My name is Tom and I live in Concord NC. A co-worker asked to use some peppermint one day because she had tried almost everything for a migrain that had lingered several days. She looked so sad. I explained breathing thru the nose after rubbing on the hands. I also had Believe with me and she wanted to try that!
Well about 30 min later she found me and related how she had breathed (for several minutes)peppermint & Believe and also applied peppermint on the forhead where it hurt the worst and within 10 minutes 90% of the pain was gone! She could not believe it! She said she was ready to go to the hospital! These are her favorite oils, sometimes they work better than other times but when she needed help the most, they relieved the pain!

I went to my doctor last week and had some testing done...I had been REALLY sick! I could barley hold my head up, high fever, I mean really sick! I was 'diagnosed' with West Nile Virus.
I came home and felt overwhelmingly prompted to drink some BYJ...so I took a big swig right out of the bottle...and went to bed. I only got up to go to the bathroom and to the fridge...for more BYJ...and water. And by day's end I had consumed the WHOLE LITER of Berry Young Juice!
One more day in and out of bed...and by the end of the day on Tuesday I was feeling a bit better...but still felt like my head and muscles had been replaced with molten steel! Wednesday morning, I opened the last liter of BYJ in the house...and by day's end had consumed a SECOND LITER of BYJ! MAN, was I feeling decadent, but I was feeling OVERWHELMINGLY prompted to drink it, almost like I could not control myself!
So...long story short...by the time I woke up Thursday morning, I was BETTER, and I don't mean FEELING better...I mean ALL BETTER!!! No aches, no headache, no fever...no MUSCLE PAIN! I KNOW that it was the BYJ! I took NO other oils or supplements other
than 2000 mg of Vitamin c each day! I was just too tired and weak! You just DON'T beat WNV in three days of treatment! (Unless you have BYJ!) What a supportive product!!!

I've a long history of sinus infections related to allergies, leading into bronchitis and vertigo. Since I've routinely used oils in the following manner, I've not had to take an antibiotic for any flare-up and the flare-ups are much less frequent. (I did also start allergy shots, so that seems to be helping.)
At the first sign of sinus blockage, swollen glands, sinus headache, I mix a few drops of mixing oil, a couple of drops of Thieves oil blend, and a couple of drops of Frankincense. I put in on my finger and coat the inside of each nostril. After the first breath in, I may sneeze, so I don't put it all in at first! I also coat my glands if swollen. If really stuffed and staying home or going to bed, I coat the outside of my cheeks and nose. I've also coated my chest. I get some immediate relief and in a matter of hours have a significant decline in all symptoms. May need to continue and do frequently until symptoms are gone. Has been my life saver!

In the last several years I've had many health problems and amongst them are migranes caused by tension and allergies. My husband was looking into essential oils for ideas on ways of helping me and convinced me to give them a try. I was using the lavender for insomnia only at first. One evening, just before bed, I put some lavender on my temples as usual so as to help me relax. I especially needed the relaxation since I had a migraine. About 5 minutes later I realized that my migraine was completely gone! Since that wonderful discovery I've learned to put lavender on the area on head pain immediately and the headache is always gone in 5 to 10 minutes. It's been a godsend!!

Migraines are hereditary in my family and my daughter who is herself a parent has suffered with migraines since age 6. She gets the 'need to go into a total darkness and no sounds' place which is accompanied by sporadic vomiting. Even though I have suggested the oils to her in the past, she is always very reluctant to try anything 'new'. Much to my surprise, after she saw good oil results with her own son and nephew, she did try some oils.
We spoke one evening and she mentioned that she had a weird sort of headache starting and some nausea so she put a couple of drops of Eucalyptus Globulus, Peppermint and Lemon oil in her A/C filter. Within a few minutes she was completely relaxed and fell sound asleep. It had been years since she slept so soundly and it surprised her in the morning when she awoke with no headache and feeling refreshed.
Re-applying the oils every few days onto the filter has kept her sleeping well and neither she nor her son have allergy problems in the house anymore.

I used Roman Chamomile to relieve the intense, throbbing pressure of an approaching migrain. The headache never came. I applied it to each of the points on my face and neck that I felt sinus pressure, and usually develop the knife-stabbling migrain pain. The pain and pressure were gone almost instantly. I have tried

I had a fever for 8 days, high enough to hallucinate for 3 of them. Living alone I couldn't get to a doctor and by the time I could drive, they thought it was the flu but a nurse told me later it sounded more like menengitis. My thinking process felt damaged and for a week afterwards it was difficult to think too much. Even after the fever went, a terrific headache surrounded my head, probably swelling from the infection. I didn't know what to do. I instinctively took the bottle of Valor and tried soaking the back part of my head to see if it would work. If it did I would then do my whole head. It did. The next day there was no pain on that part of the head. I did the rest of my head and that eliminated the rest of the pain. Recuperation was slow but without the headache. I understand some people suffer with a headache from this type of experience for months.

I use peppermint oil everyday for digestion, because it makes my tummy feel so good. It also works for nausea, headache associated with stomach distress, indigestion, heartburn & sour stomach. As a great side effect, Peppermint also clears the sinuses and head. This is very powerful stuff so start with one drop internally and see how you tolerate it. Young Living is one of the few essential oil producers that produce therapeutic grade oils that you can take internally.

About a month ago, I came down with a sinus infection. As a result of the fever, I also suffered from mouth sores. I couldn't even chew food without my head and face throbbing! Young Living products were a Godsend.
Morning and evening, I drank half a cup of Ninxgia Red Juice with 1 drop of clove oil mixed in.
Before bed, I drank a lukewarm mug of water with 2 drops of peppermint oil in it. I would inhale the peppermint while drinking it. I also rubbed my face with more peppermint water, soothed my sinus headache.
I rubbed my mouth sores with clove oil 2-3 times a day. Brushed with Young Living toothpaste and used the Young Living Mouthwash.
When I ran a fever, I rubbed my face with lukewarm water and 2 drops of peppermint oil. Within 15 minutes, I was sweating and the fever was going away!
I recovered in about 4 days with no over-the-counter meds or doctor's visit. A couple days later, I started to get a headache and inhaled peppermint oil
