Dang. I should have tested this the last time I had a tension headache which was, oddly, the last time I was at work. Hmm…

I’m going to get some of this stuff.

@Shelley, actually, I had to jump in here because YES, something topical can indeed relieve a headache by causing either superficial vasoconstriction OR vasodilation (depending).

I’d like to try that, but I doubt it would help me.

Origin’s Peace of Mind is awesome, too.

love me some peppermint. wonder if i would be able to handle the chamomile, what with my overly sensitive sniffer and all.
regardless, great review if it makes me consider looking into such a product.

@Lisa,
are you talking about tiger balm?

@Lisa, hahaha – I used something from an old Chinese man forever! Still have it, actually, but the smell is so damn intense. Works though.

@Shelley, it’s $7.50. I don’t consider that ridiculously overpriced.

And, I was very clear to say here that I’m talking about tension headaches, for me. Relieving muscle tension and stress – which causes my headaches – can definitely help “cure” a headache.

Annnnd, I also said I use ibuprofen. But this works to help me start feeling better ASAP before the meds can kick in.

@Sheila (Charm School Reject), you can get it on their web site (click the Aveda Blue Oil link in the post), or a local Aveda salon. It’s a pain in the ass to get.

ALSO – I’m not sure what this would do for a migraine.
