So I thought I'd try the peppermint oil for migraines, but how do you use it? Do you smell it or rub it on your head or what?

I have never tried peppermint oil for migraines but I will next time I get one. I would bet you would rub it on but smelling it would be great also. It beats the bullet and hammer method that I consider each and every time I get one.

There is no medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation;
Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.
Acupuncture is the best treatment. I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.
Avoid late sleeping if possible;spicy, sour, stale bakery foods and alcohole.
Sweet foods, sweet fruits, milk, rice and good sleep will help you.
But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it isvery strong.
If it is acute pl search a painful point 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.

You can massage it into your temples... however I have one of thoes oil burners... you place a tea light under it and put a few drops of the peppermint in it and let it heat up and fill the room. I find it works better that way.

It works wonderfully! All you do is rub it onto your temples with you middle fingers. You'll feel much better

Try rubbing it on your temples and the back of your neck where your head meets your spine. That seemed to help when I tried it.
