Hi all, I suffer from frequent sever migraines and have tried every medicine in the book with no permanent results. Recently my roommate's mom told me about peppermint oil! It is a godsend!!!!! When i get the headache i just rub a few dabs peppermint oil on my forehead and my neck and within minutes it's gone! I can understand if you're skeptical about it, I was too but it's worth a shot. It can be expensive to get but try looking on this site. I got it for 10$

Hi all and welcome to the Migraines & Headaches Community.


I have never heard of this but am definitely going to try it! Thanks for the tip.

I've tried just about every medication available but to no avail, I have mega allergies and am really ticked off. the only thing that really helps me is a pethadine shot,the government pencil pushers have told my doctor that he can't prescribe them for me any more because I might become addicted to the half a dozen shots a year.I have had migraines for 53 years, surely if I was going to become addicted, it would have happened by now.I'm allergic to morphine, codeine, fentynol and many other medications, what can I do.

My husband suffers from disabling migraines (about 15/month).  Fortunately for him, Imitrex helps a lot.  But there are times when we don't have anymore imitrex and he has to resort to anything that helps - like head massages, ice packs on his neck, face, and different places on his head.

But in addition to all of this - he has a little green metal vial with a rollerball applicator (about as thick as my pinky) - it's called MY-GRASTICK.  It contains peppermint and lavender.  The vial has the following website *************
- but I simply bought it at a local health food store.

It helps with the 4-7 range headaches (scale of 1-10).  It gives him relief somewhat similar to rubbing an ice-cube along the painful parts right above his eyebrow and temples, down the cheek bone and on the neck at the base of his head.  It helps most on the eyebrow area.  It doesn't give full-time relief, but does provide temporary reduction of the pain, sometimes long enough for other remedies to kick in.

Hope this helps some of you!

I really think you should all give this a shot!! I'm not big on natural remedies and stuff like that but this really worked for me and I've had severe migraines from the age of 5 to now that I'm 21. It's worth a shot...and 10$ is alot less than you would spend on prescriptions and all that stuff.
