Peppermint, eucalyptus, rosemary and sandalwood are oils recommended to best fight a headache. Chamomile is known for its pain relieving and muscle relaxing properties. Lavender is also a mighty pain reliever and anti-inflammatory. As each plant has a different effect on the body, if one plant type does not work to get rid of your headache, use a different one or a blend of two to find the most effective remedy for you. Aromatherapy goes far deeper into the healing qualities of plants than just their scent. As the oils soak into the skin, they begin to heal in many ways, both physically and psychologically. When using essential oils on your skin, always mix it with a carrier oil. Essential oils, on their own, can burn the skin. Almond oil, avocado, coconut, apricot kernel, and sesame oils are commonly used carrier oils.  Mix a small amount for immediate use. You can place a few drops of carrier oil with a drop of essential oil in the palm of your hand, mix the 2 with your fingertip or rub your hands together and apply the mix to the affected part of the body.    {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/c\/c5\/Use-Aromatherapy-for-Headaches-Step-2Bullet1.jpg\/v4-460px-Use-Aromatherapy-for-Headaches-Step-2Bullet1.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/c\/c5\/Use-Aromatherapy-for-Headaches-Step-2Bullet1.jpg\/aid1228455-v4-728px-Use-Aromatherapy-for-Headaches-Step-2Bullet1.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"546","licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}  Combine the oils ahead of time.
