Hey there!

So I’ve had a migraine that has been going for a couple days now. Nothing entirely new, but it’s frustrating. Dark room, low noise, tried sleeping it off, taken multiple medications for it including my Ubrelvy which normally knocks it. It took the edge off, but now I’m going on day 3 with the migraine with no perceivable end in sight.

Anyone got any tips that normally helps them to knock their migraine that’s worth considering? Normally I don’t care too much as I’ve put up with them for years, but this one has me all nauseous which makes it that much more miserable.

Thanks in advance!

    I make them myself! I buy the best peppermint essential oil I can find and I have some aromatherapy rollers on Amazon.

    Then I add 5 to 10 drops of the oil to the bottle, top it off with almond oil or something like that and then put on the roller top. Put on the lid, and shake it and then remove the top. Roll it on your hand and check the scent, opening it up if the roller needs more and then I roll it on my forehead and temples when needed.

    And I might have migraines then because I can’t stand light when the headaches strike.

      Huh, interesting. Not sure why I never thought to try making my own. I might look into that. Appreciate it!

        Most welcome! If you need any help, just ask. I make my own rollers a lot so I can help with any question.
