The Best Roll-Ons for Headaches

We all know the feeling of an oncoming headache. It comes on slow like a slumbering bear emerging from its den. Unlike a bear, headaches aren’t at all cute and furry. Quite the opposite, really. While what triggers a headache can be different for everyone, the effects of one are nothing short of annoying, frustrating and, most of all, painful.

So, what’s the remedy for a splitting headache? Everyone’s got their own cure. Maybe you reach for a tall glass of lukewarm water, or perhaps you sink into a cozy couch with the lights off. However you self-medicate to banish the throb in your brain, essential oils can lend a helping hand. Better yet, our roll-ons are ready to use and take the guesswork out of dilution. These roll-on blends are specially formulated using 100% pure essential oils and aim to soothe the symptoms of headaches. We take you through a few of the go-to roll-ons that we reach for when that bear of a headache begins to lumber.
