Does Aromatherapy For Headaches Work?

The good news is that multiple studies have shown that some essential oils can relieve migraines and headaches effectively. In these studies, essential oils demonstrated pain-relieving effects on migraines. This is because essential oils for headaches & migraines have been shown to inhibit neurogenic inflammation and pain sensitisation – some also affecting vasomotor activity. Whilst further research is required, these findings are promising. And, because aromatherapy for headaches is a gentle and pleasant form of treatment it is something that most people can try without many if any adverse effects. We do recommend consulting with your healthcare professional if symptoms persist when trying essential oils for migraines and headaches.

Best Essential Oil For Headaches & Migraines

There are many types of single-plant essential oils (extracted from one plant) that have been shown to relieve migraine headaches – some of these include:

• Lavender oil
• Peppermint oil
• Rosemary oil
• Eucalyptus oil

Lavender oil for headaches is one of the most popular among those who use essential oils for headaches. The efficacy of lavender essential oil inhalation for the treatment of migraines has been tested in multiple studies. Findings suggest that inhaling lavender oil may be an effective and safe treatment modality for headaches & migraines.

In addition to using lavender oil for headaches, its calming and relaxing qualities make it the perfect accompaniment to your infrared sauna sessions. Many people use their saunas as part of their ‘end of day’ routine to wind down, relax and prepare for sleep (which lavender oil has also been shown to assist with). This is why we include essential oils in our range of accessories as we’re all about enhancing your sauna experience and the health & wellbeing benefits.
