Think about your headaches/Migraine attacks!. Do they make you feel depressed, anxious, or panicked!? Do you need to sleep, but have trouble!? Choose some of the oils from the chart, mix one or more with some carrier oil, and give them a try!. You can wait until you need them, and mix a small amount in the palm of your hand, or you can mix the oils ahead in a bottle!. For example, I tend to experience anxiety and panic during the headache phase of a Migraine attack!. I'm also prone to drop or spill things, so I premix oils in a small, roll-on bottle!. My Migraine and relaxation/sleep blends are:

Migraine Blend

Fill bottle approximately 2/3 with Sweet Almond Oil
6 drops Lavender Oil (headache/Migraine)
6 drops Clary Sage Oil (anxiety/panic)
6 drops Chamomile Oil (sleep)
12 drops Peppermint Oil (headache/Migraine) Peppermint is also very helpful for nausea!.
Cover top with finger and shake!. Check the fragrance of the oil!. If it is unpleasant to you, add a few drops of whichever oil you prefer to make it more pleasant!.
Fill any remaining space in bottle with Sweet Almond Oil, insert the roller ball, and cap the bottle!.
To use: Apply to temples and areas of pain!. Massage lightly!. You can also roll some onto the back of your hand


Relaxation/Sleep Blend

Fill bottle approximately 2/3 with Sweet Almond Oil (For this one, I use a small glass bottle with an orifice reducer
