Challenge Entry
I was hoping my Tamed Wild box would come in time for this challenge as this month’s box has an amazing glass pen and ink as well as parchment paper for word witchcraft. But alas, it still hasn’t shipped.
Instead, I am posting a headache roller recipe from "The Green Witch’s Guide to Self-Care: Natural Spells, Rituals, and Remedies for Your Mind, Body, and Spirit" (available on Kindle Unlimited!). As a migraine sufferer, I work to prevent any kind of headache as they often lead to a migraine. As I continue on my green witchcraft path, I am moving towards natural remedies over OTC/ Rx meds where possible. I use @Mistress_Of_Herbs’s migraine tea and it is amazing. I also love using EOs. This EO blend has worked wonders since I found it. I have two bottle, one at home and another that I keep in my purse (it’s only a 5 mL roller).
Ingredients:
- 10-mL brown rollerball bottle
- 2 drops peppermint EO
- 2 drops rosemary EO
- 2 drops eucalyptus EO
- 2 drops lavender EO
- 1 or 2 amethyst chips (need to fit inside the bottle)
- Carrier oil (I use sweet almond but grapeseed or fractionated coconut are also great choices)
Directions:
- Cleanse the rollerball bottle with your preferred method (I use incense smoke).
- In the bottle, place a small amount of your carrier oil. Add the EOs and amethyst chips. Fill the remainder of the bottle with carrier oil.
- Gently roll the bottle between the palms of your hands while saying:
May the scent of herbs relieve my tension.
May the touch of amethyst draw out my pain.
Combined, leave your healing energy behind.
As I will, so it is.
- Gently apply the oil to your temples, visualizing the pain being pulled away from you.
Store at room temperature for up to 6 months. Dispose if you notice any growth within the oil.
If you don’t have access to EOs, you can create a tea blend using 1 teaspoon dried peppermint and lavender, 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, and 2 teaspoons black tea. Brew in boiling water for 5 minutes. Sweeten if desired - I prefer to use local honey.
