Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.
Peppermint oil has been our first remedy to try for severe sinus headaches in our family. We rub a little on the areas of the head that seem to throb (temples, forehead, cheekbones). Within minutes our pain is eased, or at least bearable, and there is a feeling of warmth to the area. For children, if eye watering after application is a problem, apply V-6 or a vegetable oil over the oil to dilute.
