Aromatherapy and migraines
February 1st, 2011 . by Peter
A migraine attack can be quite a torture to endure. The pain can be so intense that the migraine sufferer cannot function properly. When this happens, either rest or strong pain medication is what is needed.
But for some migraine sufferers aromatherapy can alleviate the pain associated with migraines. Scents like lavender, rosemary, eucalyptus, or peppermint have been known to help alleviate the pain of a migraine and also help the sufferer to relax. Aromatherapy can actually be used as a complimentary solution to migraine medication. Just take the medication that is prescribed to you, retreat to your room, prepare some aromatherapy candles or essential oils in a diffuser, turn off the lights and relax.
