Ingredients:

1/4 cup dried lavender
1/4 cup cloves

Sachet: Made from fabric such as muslin, cotton

Directions:

• Mix the lavender and cloves together then fill a fabric sachet or small drawstring pouch.
• When you feel a headache coming on, open the sachet and breathe in the fragrance to help soothe away your headache (breathe in around 5 or 6 times). Press the sachet to your forehead and temples. Repeat 30 minutes later if headache hasn’t disappeared.
• Keep the sachet sealed in a ziploc bag or airtight container and away from heat or light to preserve aroma strength and freshness.

Tip: You could also choose to skip the sachet and store the lavender and cloves in a small jar with a tight seal. Shake the jar then open it and sniff deeply a few times.

Treating headaches with lavender: You could also try a lavender and cloves herbal steam, massage your temples during the steaming or if possible, take a nap with a lavender and cloves sleep pouch in a darkened room.

Always choose organically grown lavender (chemical free) when using as a health aide, you should have no problem find this in a bulk health food store.
