We all suffer from a headache from time to time, but according to the World Health Organization, more than a third of men and more than half of women suffer from chronic headache in developed countries.
There are different types of headache. The two main ones are tension-type headache and migraine. Headaches that are caused by tension are the most common and can occur occasionally or very frequently. In this case we are talking about a chronic headache.
Tension headache or migraine
In both tension headaches and migraines, the pain It can be installed suddenly or progressively, expand throughout the head or remain localized in one area and be more or less intense.
The main causes of headache They are stress, lack of sleep, tiredness, alcohol, the menstrual cycle, high blood pressure, eye fatigue, poor posture and contractures in the neck or jaw. The discomfort can last only a few hours or last a week.
The migraine it is often perceived as a throbbing pain on one side of the head. Sometimes other symptoms may appear such as nausea, vomiting, visual disturbances, sensitivity to light, noise and odors. These discomforts, which improve with rest, can last between a few hours and three days.
The exact causes of migraine are unknown. There is a hereditary predisposition and it is known that the neurotransmitter histamine wave intracranial pressure variation caused by a sudden change in blood flow are determining factors in its appearance.
One in seven people suffers from migraine, and it is more frequent in women than in men, probably due to hormonal factors.
headache trigger foods
In one in ten people with a headache, it can be caused by foods rich in tyramine, a substance that dilates blood vessels. It is abundant in some foods of animal origin such as cured cheese, sardines or herring, but it is also found in nuts or chocolate.
Another possible cause is the deficient activity of the enzyme diamine oxidase (DAO), It metabolizes histamine produced by the body itself or ingested with food. It is more common in women because female hormones interfere with their activity.
They contain histamine or stimulate their production, among others, dairy products and fermented vegetables, cured meats, alcoholic beverages, canned fish, tomatoes, eggplants, spinach, pineapples, bananas, strawberries and citrus fruits.
How to treat headache and migraine with essential oils
Conventional allopathic treatment consists of administering acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), ibuprofen, or paracetamol. But they can present negative side effects. Aromatherapy is interesting as a natural alternative or as a complement.
The two essential oils (EOs) most reputed to relieve headaches are peppermint (Mentha x piperita) and the lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), perfectly effective, moreover, in tension headaches. Combining them in a vegetable base for topical use, they will act through both skin and olfactory routes.
Studies on the efficacy of aromatherapy
The effectiveness of peppermint oil in relieving tension headaches has been proven by several scientific studies. A test carried out at the neurological clinic of Kiel, in Germany, confirms that a preparation based on essential oil of peppermint (10% solution in ethanol), applied to the forehead and temples, produces a rapid analgesic effect and comparable to aspirin or paracetamol. The authors consider it the treatment of choice after six years of age.
Lavender oil relieves migraine pain, according to a study conducted at Mashhad University in Iran. Another investigation from the Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, also in Iran, found the efficacy of essential oils of rose and feverfew on the intensity of migraines.
