Headaches - Peppermint Essential Oil

I had a headache and decided to see if peppermint oil would help alleviate it. I applied a drop of peppermint oil to my temples and the back of my neck. A short time later, my headache was gone.

Update:  I have used peppermint essential oil numerous times for headaches especially if the headaches are caused by tension.  I rub peppermint all over the back of my neck, my forehead, my temples, anywhere that hurts.  I just keep it away from my eyes.  If I go overboard, the smell of peppermint will irritate my eyes.  When that happens, I just close them for a little bit.  Don't go overboard with the peppermint though.  I love the smell of it too.
