I made an oil blend in a carrier oil specifically designed for a theraputic purpose. I plan on buying little roll-on containers I can start putting them in. For now It's just in a regular 1/2 ounce amber glass container with a lid and i just pour some on my fingers to rub on my temples..anyway...
I would just like ya'lls opinion on something..
I recently conjured up a lavender and peppermint essential oil blend(carried in grapeseed oil) that I was using to help with a migraine I was having. I have it in a tiny half-ounce glass container. It helped quite a bit to calm me down and make me concentrate less on my migraine, so I am happy with it..I plan on adding more oils for a calming/headache blend once I get some more (my oils are very limited, i have about 5) ..but anyway I was wondering..
Since it is the summer, what is your opinion on carrying the oil in maybe witchhazel or aloe vera? I don't want to use too much peppermint essential oil, since I know it can cause pretty bad skin irritation but it helps with the cooling effect. Or what about half grapeseed oil and half aloe or witchhazel? or half aloe and witchhazel, or would you not recommend putting essential oil in those liquids? I am kind of a novice.
I am proud of myself though because I had to go pick up more lavender oil and the guy who showed me where it was recommended a migraine balm they sold, and guess what it was made of? Lavender and peppermint oil. I was proud of myself that I was able to conjure up a remedy on the fly while i was struggling with a migraine and anxiety about having to go to work anyway even though the aura pretty much blinded me. I have been studying aromatherapy and herbal remedies quite a bit but hadn't actually done much with it...it was nice that the knowledge gained was rewarded..
anyway excited to hear your response, and any other tips from you other herbalists/aromatherapists out there would be appreciated ..possibly if any of you have made a migraine oil or balm for yourselves, share the blends
(fyi i dont sell this stuff, i dont think one can sell something like this..)
