- Hey everyone, I'm Andrea,
founder of Aromahead Institute
and in this video, I want to show you
my favorite, absolute
favorite oil for headaches.
You use this oil just
on the back of your neck
if you feel a headache coming on,
or even if you're in the
middle of a headache.
You just rub it on the back of your neck
and the top of your shoulders.
It's a classic.
It has my three most
treasured headache oils in it.
So it has Frankincense.
Now, Frankincense has always been
my go-to oil for headaches.
It's not as well known for
headaches, but it really helps.
And then Peppermint, of course,
which is so well-known for headaches.
And then we're gonna add in Black Spruce.
And it's gonna, the Black Spruce
really opens up your sinuses,
helps you breathe better,
so if the headache is
related to congestion
or sinus pressure or a
cold or flu, allergies,
this is gonna be great.
All right so, I'm making it
in a one ounce blue glass,
cobalt blue glass bottle,
and I'm gonna put an
ounce of Jojoba in here,
so I'm just gonna press down
on this beautiful little calibrated pump,
and I get one ounce of
Jojoba right into the bottle.
That's nice.
And then I'm going to
put in the Frankincense.
Mmmm, that is so beautiful, that's great.
So I am going to use eight
drops of Frankincense.
And we'll just slowly moderate this.
One, two, three, four, five
six, seven, eight, okay, great.
It always comes out so fast.
Mmmmm, that alone is so beautiful.
And what the Frankincense is really doing
is it's reducing the pain, for sure,
it's helping you breathe more deeply,
it's opening up, opening up
your breath, your sinuses,
it's going to allow the headache
to just really calm down
and to help you feel more centered.
And then the Peppermint.
I'm going to put four
drops of Peppermint in.
And that is just such a good oil for pain,
especially for the head, you
know it has that Menthol in it,
so ti's gonna really open everything up.
So we'll put four drops in of Peppermint,
and it's also very cooling.
Here it comes, oh it's
comin' out a little bit slow.
There's one drop.
I think there's a little
air bubble in there,
let me just tap the top,
that's a good little trick,
and then it should come
out right after that.
There we go, two, three, four, okay good.
And then I'm gonna use, excuse me,
six drops of Black Spruce.
And that is going to
really balance the aroma,
and it's just gonna bring
this feeling of being outside
in a pine forest, right
into this little bottle.
So six drops of the Black Spruce.
There we go, three, four,
five, six, okay, perfect.
And then I'm just gonna cover this,
and give it a little gentle shake,
And then like I said,
you can just apply it
to the back of your
neck and your shoulders,
even if you're feeling
a headache coming on,
or you're just feeling stressed,
like a headache might come on,
this is great for preventing.
And if you already have a headache,
I think you'll notice a big
difference when you put it on.
Now this recipe is from a free webinar
that I just want to
quickly tell you about,
because if you're brand
new to essential oils,
you will really enjoy this webinar.
It's one that is about
using essential oils
in your everyday life.
And so I talk about six
different essential oils.
The three I just put in this bottle,
and this recipe's one of them,
and then I also talk about Lavender
and about Cedar Wood, and
one of my favorite oils,
Neroli Petitgrain Codistil.
So if you're interested
in checking it out,
you'll learn a couple of new
recipes and a bunch of oils,
then the link to it is in the
description below the video.
Okay, all right.
Well, I hope you never have
to use this headache oil
but if you do, I'm sure it will help.
All right, bye for now.
