There isn’t much that is more miserable than sinus pain. Everything hurts: your eyes, teeth, and your face. It’s almost impossible to get comfortable enough to rest. Allergies can bring on sinus pressure, but a simple head cold can also trigger the issue. Some of the over-the-counter medications you can take may help, but there could also be side effects like drowsiness, a foggy head, and upset stomach. At times, the side effects may not be worth it.
Here is an essential oil rollerball recipe that may help.
Ingredients:
- 10 drops Peppermint essential oil – Cooling, decongestant, and opens up breathing passages.
- 8 drops Eucalyptus Radiata essential oil – Clears nasal congestion and supports respiratory relief.
- 6 drops Rosemary essential oil – Stimulates circulation, reduces inflammation, and aids sinus drainage.
- 4 drops Lavender essential oil – Calms tension and soothes headache-like pressure.
- Carrier oil – Fill the rest of the 10 ml rollerball bottle with a carrier like fractionated coconut oil or jojoba oil (about 9 ml).
- Instructions
- Add the essential oil drops to a 10 ml glass rollerball bottle.
- Top off with your chosen carrier oil, leaving a small space at the top.
- Secure the rollerball top and cap, then shake gently to mix thoroughly.
