1 Tbsp vegetable oil
10 drops Lavender essential oil
5 drops Peppermint essential oil
200 IU Vitamin E (optional)
In an amber glass bottle, add the essential oils and vegetable oil. Add the vitamin E. Shake well to mix completely. Label with directions for use. To use, warm a few drops of the concentrated oil and apply to the temples of the head and just beyond the hairline. Typically this area is sore to the touch if the headache is severe. Gently massage this area with a light pressure. Inhale the essences from cupped hands following the massage. Breathe slowly and concentrate on the breath.
Headache Oil
(massage oil for tension headaches)
I don't care how poor a man is; if he has family, he's rich.
~M*A*S*H, Colonel Potter
Oil extracts are made from fresh herbs that contain volatile oils used for healing. Fresh herbs are necessary for the extraction of the oils. The fresh herbs are crushed with a mortar and pestle. Olive or sesame oil is then added, at the ratio of one pint of oil for every two ounces of herbs. The mixture is allowed to stand in a warm place, out of direct light, for three days. The oils are stored in dark, glass containers. After the three days, add one capsule of Vitamin E to each bottle for preserving the extracted oils. This is a process that is best done on the new moon.
