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.
