Depends what are causing your headaches -- sometimes I get headaches from working with foral essential oils.

If for just normal headache, Peppermint, Spearmint, Cedarwood, Bergamot, Cejeput, Clary Sage, Marjoram, Patchouli, Lavender, Basil, marjoram, Helichrysum.

If for chronic migraines or perimenopausal hormonal issues, I take feverfew, extra riboflavin (B2) and extra magnesium.

Hope that helps -- but for sure ask your doctor if it's happening a lot.

Make sure you are not applying most of those EO's straight as they can burn you. Lavender & Tea Tree are the only ones recommended for application neat. Spearmint is also a good one for headaches.

Try this - make a body butter, add your EO's at therapeutic levels and then put into a small container to carry around and apply to your temples when you get a headache. You can also use a roll-on lip gloss containers by using a light oil light SAO or Fract. CO and add your EO's to that. Then just use it on your temples when needed.....
