How I Controlled My Migraine by APIYOL




Migraines are debilitating for many, including my friend SandyKay of APIYOL.  Today, she's graciously agreed to share her secret to crushing a migraine and the nausea that accompanies it.  

Take it away SK...



First off, let me say that there are many different types of headaches but, a migraine is a BEAST all of it's own.  However, I have used this protocol for the different types of headaches and it's worked great.  My particular migraines gang up a light - sound - motion sensitive headache with unmistakable nausea.  Someday, I'm going to remember that my migraines come with early detection "tell tell" symptoms that I should clue into.

The day before the last episode I had unexplained nausea come on all of the sudden while driving.  I usually never get motion sickness when I'm the driver but, put me in the back seat and it's going to be a given!  

On this particular Saturday, I was driving through a canyon and my stomach started to roll (clue no.1).  Thankfully, I had my "Motion Potion" Blend from The Gray Area on hand so I applied it to my wrists and kept driving.  The blend worked great and I didn't think about it again until....the next morning...
  

Motion Potion
{good one for EO journal}

15 drops Peppermint
15 drops Ginger

Combine EOs in a 1/3 oz roller bottle top off with FCO.

...when I woke up and my head was asking to be taken off and put on a shelf and my stomach was rolling, again.  I propped myself up and found my Relief Headache Blend nearby, applied it to the base of brain stem, forehead and temples THEN, grabbed the Motion Potion blend to inhale it straight from the bottle!




In the past, whenever these beasts of a headache come on, I've been down for days...no lie!  This time however, I had a very rough morning but by early afternoon I was coming out of it and by that evening I was headache and nausea FREE.  I'm here to tell you that RELIEF was aptly named.  I've used it for sore muscles, general aches and pains as well as headaches, of all types and it's always been just the ticket!  

I'm grateful every single day for pure essential oils and the significant difference they make in our lives.  On this particular mighty migraine day, EOs helped me API {my} OL.

Awesome! I, too sometimes miss the triggers and clues. Thank you, Sandy Kay and Rebecca! And, I need to get a bottle of Relief to keep on hand! Been dealing with the migraine issues of late. I'm finding myself very sensitive to smells as one is coming on. Anybody else?

yes, the senses are the first thing that you will see change. Any noise is horrible, no matter how small. Smelling is intensified and any lights are horrible. I had one this morning..what an awful feeling
