Using pure essential oils, aromatherapy aims to maintain (or correct) the balance of our human body, mind, and emotions. Headaches and migraines occur when that balance is disrupted by poor habits or illness. When the proper oils (combined in proper proportion) are applied to the skin, they get absorbed through your pores and pass quickly into your blood stream. They travel first to superficial muscle tissue and joints, then down into deeper tissue. It’s there that they treat the root cause of your headache pain.
