Detox Your Medicine Cabinet

One of the most common complaints of overworking are headaches.

Although we can tend to throw all headaches into the same category and reach for the

pain killers to try and alleviate them, there are more natural cures available. However

in order for the more natural remedies to work, it helps to identify the type of headache

we are dealing with:

Migrane Headache A severe and painful type of headache associated with throbbing

pain, nausea and heightened sensitivity to light. Migraines can be triggered by stress,

anxiety, sleep deprivation and hormonal changes. Massage lavender or peppermint

oil into the temples and back of neck to relieve migraine headaches and ease feelings

of nausea and anxiety.

Tension or Stress Headache Characterized as dull, constant pressure or pain. Tension

headaches are typically brought on by feelings of pressure. Use eucalyptus or

peppermint oil topically on the temples, forehead and wrists to alleviate stress and

reduce tension. To ease the mind, add 5–10 drops of lavender oil to a warm-water

bath.

Headaches / Insomnia Due To Mental Agitation Or Overwork As above. See also clary

sage, marjoram, ylang- ylang, and neroli.

Sinus Headache Eucalyptus oil topically on the chest, top of nose and temples to open

up the nasal passages and relieve sinus tension.

Sugar Headache Combine equal parts lavender, rosemary and coconut oil, and apply

topically to the back of neck, temples and forehead. Or take 1 drop of rosemary

internally - it is important that only the best quality essential oils suitable for digestion

are used when taking internally.

Dehydration Headache Probably the most common of work headaches - a

combination of air conditioning, large consumption of tea / coffee and remaining for

7

long periods at the desk without taking any / enough water. Solution? Throw away the

plastic cups and small plastic water bottles and invest in one large 1 - 1.5 litre bottle.

Have the full bottle on your desk at the beginning of your work day and try and ensure

that you have emptied it twice by the end of your working day.
