Headaches are defined as pain in the head and neck regions.
There are many types of headache, but most commonly they can be tension related, migrainous or cluster, and none are pleasant to experience.
Essential Oil blends can be used as one of many tools available to help with this condition, but you must always be mindful that the symptom can be caused by an underlying condition - if in doubt please consult your GP to get checked out.
Mantra Aromatherapy's Blend 18 -
(formally known as our 'Anti Headache and Migraine' body massage blend)
is a useful product to have available to use when you experience a headache, and it can be used regularly to help as a preventative measure.
Headaches can be caused by stress and tension, lack of sleep or food, dehydration or can also be triggered by certain foods and medications.
Other useful tools to help reduce the frequency of headaches are - keeping hydrated, nourishing your body correctly, exercising regularly, reducing stress where possible and resting sufficiently.
Regularly massaging or bathing in a blend like this is also useful.

How to choose the correct blend for specific massage requirements -

Mantra Aromatherapy has created several sections on our website where the headache of blending Essential Oils to the correct dilution with the appropriate massage medium has been, for your convenience, already done.
So whether you require a blend for body massage, a scalp massage blend for oiled Indian Head massage treatments or a Reflexology foot powder you can be reassured that everything is ready to go - all you do is open, pour and apply!
The products in this section are body massage blends that are specifically designed for use on the body only - this means they can be used for massage (after an initial patch test) on the limbs & torso.
The blends in this section are NOT suitable for use on the face or intimate areas of the body as the dilution of the blends are too strong and may cause irritation particularly with sensitive, allergic and delicate skin types and areas of the body with thin, fine and delicate skin.
If you require blends for facial massage, please check out the products in our Facial blends and products Section, our Absolute Blends Section and our Indian Head Massage and Lomi Lomi Massage Products Sections,
