A few weeks ago I was suffering from one of those head-splitting, eye-fuzzing headaches that would not go away. I had taken tylenol and a little while later ibuprofen (for those of you that know me, you know how rare it is that I even take one of these). It was bad.
When my husband got home from work, he suggested that I put some lavendar oil on a washcloth and lie down with it where I could smell it. I'm sure he was thinking that the relaxation benefit of the lavendar might help...and it did. Within thirty minutes my headache was gone. Later I was looking in my aromatherapy book and noticed that lavendar is used for pain relief as well. I'm not saying it would work on every headache but it is worth a try. I know I will sure try it first next time rather than a last resort.
