Frequently Asked Questions

Headache ReLeaf Roll-On is a fast-acting, natural headache treatment and migraine remedy. It comes in a 3-inch pocket-size bottle with a rollerball applicator. It’s the perfect way to relieve any throbbing headache without drugs. Perfect for sinus headaches. Stress and tension headaches. Fever, cold, and flu headaches. Hormone headaches (linked to PMS, a woman’s monthly period, or menopause). Hangover headache. Migraine. Allergy headaches caused by pets, dust, or environmental contaminants. Even soothes overexertion headaches.

First, Headache ReLeaf contains imported menthol, one of the world’s fastest-acting natural pain relievers. Second, based on the science of aromatherapy, it includes pure essential oils that have been used for centuries to relieve headache & migraine pain.

Menthol takes advantage of important brain chemistry: the human brain can process only one new sensory message at a time. By replacing throbbing headache signals with equally intense alternatives (initially a rejuvenating cool sensation followed by a deep, soothing warmth), menthol interrupts the brain’s perception of pain. Muscles relax. Inflammation subsides. The headache is relieved.

Using pure essential oils, aromatherapy aims to maintain (or correct) the balance of our human body, mind, and emotions. Headaches and migraines occur when that balance is disrupted by poor habits or illness. When the proper oils (combined in proper proportion) are applied to the skin, they get absorbed through your pores and pass quickly into your blood stream. They travel first to superficial muscle tissue and joints, then down into deeper tissue. It’s there that they treat the root cause of your headache pain.

■ Lavender for natural migraine relief and for headaches caused by stress or nervous tension, a woman’s monthly period, menopause, sunstroke, or cold wind. 

■ Peppermint to stop headaches associated with fever, colds and flu, sinus congestion, allergies, lack of sleep, and mental exhaustion.  

■ Rose for hangover and headaches brought on by too much exercise or physical exertion, emotional stress, crying, or grief.

Used occasionally, over-the-counter products are fairly harmless. But the fact is, more than 16,500 Americans die every year from overuse of these "non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs" (which include aspirin, ibuprofen, and indomethacin). Another 103,000 are hospitalized annually for complications from products they probably bought at the grocery store. Research proves that these common pain relievers increase your risk of high blood pressure, stomach and intestinal bleeding, ulcers, and liver problems.
