Home Remedy: Headache Soother Sachets
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.

You could also make a nice tea out of the lavender and cloves (throw a little peppermint in as well to really trick it out).
