Headaches – the constant companion of modern life, striking at the most inopportune moment: in the middle of a Zoom meeting, on a bus without air conditioning, or right before a first date. Headache pills? Sure, they work. But with them comes a whole range of possible side effects and the feeling that you've just swallowed something that's more of a science experiment than a cure.
Therefore, it is a real refreshment to come across a natural solution against headache, which does not include chemical ingredients, but works through the senses, the skin and that unexplained effect of “grandmother's wisdom”. We present to you a simple, home-made headache balm, which will transform your shadows into fragrant temples of peace – with coconut oil, mint, lavender and a drop of frankincense for that “zen effect”.
Magic in a jar: How does this homemade headache balm work?
No, it's not superstition. It's a very well-balanced combination of natural ingredients that work on both a physical and sensory level. Essential oils are not just a fragrant fashion accessory, they have proven effects on relaxing muscles, reducing tension and regulating mood. And let's face it - if it's good enough for ancient Egyptians and Tibetan monks, why not for your stressful Thursday?
Coconut oil It acts as a nourishing base that nourishes the skin and allows for the slow release of scents. Meta It is a cooling star – its effect on nerve receptors creates a feeling of relief, almost like a mini ice pack. Lavender It's a classic – it relaxes, soothes and has an anti-stress effect. Frankincense? This exotic ingredient, also known as frankincense, brings that spiritual undertone – ideal if you want your headache to go away on a more “meditative” level.
