Re: [Everything doTERRA] Re: migraines???

I have to start on them early, and even then it doesn't always take it entirely away. I use Frankincense on the roof of my mouth, Past Tense on my neck and base of my skull, and Deep Blue on my temples and across my forehead. If I can get someone to apply the Deep Blue to my neck and shoulders, that helps, too. I usually apply DigestZen to my stomach. I've tried taking Ginger for the nausea, but it doesn't always help. I keep reapplying for as long as the headache lasts. Most of the time, I do not have to go to bed, although it slows me down and I do try to rest. If I can catch it early, and have a nap, that also helps, although one of the aspects of my migraines is that I can't sleep until it is pretty much over. I often use Lavender at that point, because I use it every night before bed and my body recognises that as time to sleep! I also have several chronic medical conditions, so I'm not "just" having a migraine; there are various triggers and even the cleansing effects of oils from time to time have affected me. There are some oils I've not tried, but so far I am happy with this combination, and I don't have migraines as often as I used to.

Oils don't "cause" a migraine, but just as foods or stress can trigger a migraine, oils can cause cleansing that will trigger. People with migraines often have to experiment to discover what combination of oils works for them; peppermint, lavender and frankincense do not work at all for me; I had to discover what would! I know others who have developed their own personal combinations, as well. We have to remember that oils work with our personal chemistry; while they have specific attributes, not all work the same on everyone. I always recommend several options when asked "which oil should I use?".

Hi Kathy,
I highly doubt that your friend's headache was cause from the oils.
In
fact, one of the remedies for a migraine includes peppermint in it!
I's peppermint,
lavender and frankincense.  I know for a fact that this remedy works
really well.
And using a few drops of oils a day is not extreme in any way.
Sincerely,
Lori
