All Headache – Soothing the Aching Crown

*Note All Headache is now called De-Strain. New look, same formula!

The head is the highest part of our body and also the most vital one. Ancient sears of Ayurveda have beautifully expounded the importance of our head. They have compared our body to an upside down tree; the head as its root, our torso as its trunk and our hands and legs being its branches. Just the way roots of a tree are vital for its survival, our head supports our life, health and vitality. The most common discomfort that affects our heads is Headaches. For whatever reason, headaches can be truly disabling.  Headaches can blur our thinking and make every physical activity seem like a chore.  Quick relief is what everyone wants and ELANVEDA’s All Headache provides you with quick relief from the worst of headaches. With a skillful blend of nine Ayurvedic natural and organic essential oils; All Headache epitomizes the ultimate use of principles of aromatherapy and Ayurveda in soothing headaches.

The pain relieving quality of All Headache is due to the Ayurvedic organic essential oils like Eucalyptus oil (Eucalyptus globulus), Peppermint (Mentha piperita), Helichrysum italicum, Spruce (Tsuga canadensis), Lavender Spike (Lavendula latifolia), Ginger (Zingiber officinale), Birch (Betula lenta) and Sandalwood (Santalum spicatum) that are blended in with the skin nourishing jojoba oil. These oils contain natural pain relieving compounds called terpenes, which function to ease pains associated with headaches.

Headaches due to excess stress and mental exhaustion can easily be relieved by massaging a few drops of All Headache to your temples, behind the ears, or on the nape of your neck and shoulders, while at the same time applying gentle but firm pressure. The warmth of All Headache will instantly release the tension and strain in the muscles of your neck, forehead and shoulders. It also improves blood and lymph circulation. You will feel the pain go away almost miraculously!  The addition of stress relieving oils like Birch, sandalwood and lavender oils blended in and will leave you feeling relaxed and free of pain.

Headaches are common when you are ill with flu or a bad cold. All Headache works wonders to relieve such pesky pain.  The warmth of Eucalyptus, peppermint, ginger, spruce and lavender oils gently eases the headache, reduces the inflammation of sinuses and removes nasal blockage by improving blood circulation. Massage a few drops of All Headache outside and under the nose and your temples or just dab a few drops onto a tissue or washcloth and inhale it occasionally.   You can also add a few drops to the vaporizer for soothing warm mist or use it in a hot or cold compress. For making a compress, wring out a wash cloth in hot or cold water, fold it to fit the forehead and then sprinkle a few drops on it. Apply for 15 to 20 minutes or till you get relief.

All Headache can be a real boon to people who suffer from migraine headaches. It contains peppermint oil, which has been proven to have “pain relieving effects” equivalent to Tylenol¹ (American Academy of Family physicians).  Other oils like Eucalyptus, sandalwood and lavender help in improving blood circulation and relieve muscle tensions that often precipitate migraines. At the first sign of an oncoming migraine, sprinkle a few drops of onto a cold compress and apply to the forehead and temples. Repeat as soon as the compress turns warm. Alternatively, a warm compress given to the back of the neck will also help in opening blood vessels and improve blood circulation.

With All Headache sitting in your medicine cabinet, you will be freed from the gruesome task of searching for different salves or pills every time you get a headache. A tiny vial is all you need to deal with any type of headache. It is available at our website shop.elanveda.com
