Headache Balm...
I know I already touched on the headache issue, but I just love the use of natural remedies and essential oils. I truly believe in the power of natural remedies and wholeheartedly stand behind their use.
If your headache is so intense that you feel as though your head is about to explode, this balm comes to the rescue to help soothe the pain. This balm is recommended for: throbbing, pounding, or nervous tension headaches.
-3 tbsp shea butter, refined
-1 tbsp jojoba base oil
-15 drops each of the following essential oils: peppermint; rosemary; Roman chamomile
-10 drops lavender essential oil
-5 drops sweet marjoran essential oil
In a saucepan over low heat or in a double boiler, warm the shea butter and the base oil until the shea butter is just melted.
Remove from heat and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes, stirring a few times.
Add the essential oils and stir again.
Store in a glass or plastic container and cap.
Place in the refrigerator to harden overnight.
The finished product will have a pastelike, buttery consistency.
Note:
Once melted, shea butter can remain liquid for many hours, even for days. The shea butter doesn't
thicken into a solid balm if left at a warm room temperature overnight, so best to refrigerate it.
By morning the texture is pleasantly firm. You can then remove the jar from the refrigerator and allow it to warm to room temperature to get the perfect buttery texture.
No refrigeration is required, but for maximum freshness and potency, please use within 1 year.
Application:
Massage a small amount of balm wherever your head hurts or you feel painful, muscle tension, temples, forehead, back of neck, or shoulders. Use not more than 3 times a day.
