Looking for a natural way to calm a headache and promote relaxation? Try this Roll On Headache Relief blend made with essential oils.
Essential oils are a wonderful, natural option for headaches and stress related pains. They have the ability to promote calmness, ease muscle discomforts, elevate mood, and improve overall well-being.
This essential oil blend is made in an easy to use, mess free roll on bottle. Not only are roller bottle blends easy to make, but also convenient to take on the go.
Why Use Essential Oil Roller Bottles for Headaches?
Roller bottles are a convenient way to apply essential oils to the temples and back of the neck for fast relief of headaches and tension. Easily slip in a purse, backpack, desk drawer, or even a pocket. Be sure the cap is screwed on tightly to prevent leaks.
While leaving the roll on bottle in a car may seem like a convenient place, it is a bad idea in warm or hot weather. Essential oils in a hot vehicle can overheat causing deterioration of your precious oils, making them less effective and the potential for skin irritation can increase too.
Heat can also cause the oil to leak out of bottle.
