🔬 Why These Oils Work: The Science Behind the Scent

Each oil in the HeadEase Collection was chosen for its ability to support clarity, calm, and emotional reset through the power of scent.

These essential oils work on a neurological and emotional level — interacting with the limbic system, the part of the brain responsible for emotion, memory, and instinct.

Together, they offer a practical and sensory-safe toolkit for those living with migraine, tension, sinus pressure, hormonal shifts, and the emotional heaviness that often accompanies them.

🌿 Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)

Familiar, floral, and gently sedative, lavender contains linalool and linalyl acetate—compounds known to modulate GABA activity in the brain. This calms the nervous system, reduces tension, and supports rest, making it a foundational oil for pain-linked anxiety and sensory overload.

❄️ Peppermint (Mentha piperita)

Cooling and clarifying, peppermint contains menthol, which may help relieve physical tension through local cooling and muscle relaxation. It also activates cold-sensitive receptors in the skin and sinuses, helping reduce perceived discomfort and enhance focus.

🕯️ Frankincense (Boswellia carterii)

Grounding and meditative, frankincense is rich in alpha-pinene, a constituent associated with deepened breathing and emotional regulation. Used traditionally to centre the mind and body, it helps reduce inner turbulence during migraine aura or emotional build-up.

🌬️ Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus radiata)

Fresh, clean, and breath-opening, eucalyptus contains 1,8-cineole (eucalyptol) — known for its ability to support clear airways, improve focus, and reduce sinus pressure. Often used in respiratory blends, it’s ideal for sinus headaches and stuffy pressure states.

🌿 Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis)

Sharp and herbaceous, rosemary enhances mental alertness and circulation. Its key compound, cineole, has been studied for improving memory and cognitive performance. Useful in fatigue-based headaches, hormonal fog, and post-migraine sluggishness.

🌸 Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea)

Balancing and gently euphoric, clary sage contains sclareol, a plant-derived compound that mimics oestrogen. Its harmonising effect may help ease hormonal migraines, cycle-linked tension, and emotional volatility during PMS or menopause.

🍋 Lemon (Citrus limon)

Bright and refreshing, lemon contains limonene, known for its mood-lifting, nausea-soothing, and emotionally energising properties. It brings clarity after heavy headaches and uplifts the spirit during migraine hangover or emotional fog.

🌺 Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens)

Floral and emotionally supportive, geranium offers hormonal balance and emotional resilience. Rich in citronellol and geraniol, it helps release stored tension and regulate mood, especially when stress is felt in the head, jaw, or temples.

The full HeadEase Collection includes:

The Add-On Set is designed for Comfort Collection owners.

It includes:

additional essential oils not found in Comfort

❓ Is this safe for migraine sufferers?

Yes — this collection is created with the migraine community in mind, using gentle dilutions, sensory-safe oils, and MHRA-compliant recipes.

There are no artificial fragrances, colours, or stimulants.

Each card is a suggestion, not a prescription — you can adapt it to your needs, preferences, and sensitivity.

❓ What if I already have some of these oils?

If you own the Comfort Collection, you likely already have:

Lavender, Frankincense, and Geranium.

That’s why we offer the HeadEase Add-On Kit, which only includes the five oils you don’t already own, plus the full ritual card set.

❓ Can I use these oils topically?

Yes — the included recipes give safe, topical applications with dilution guidance.

We always recommend patch testing if you’re new to an oil, and avoiding peppermint and rosemary on very young children, during pregnancy, or if epileptic.

❓ Is there a digital version of the recipe cards?

Yes! You’ll receive a downloadable PDF of the HeadEase Ritual Guide with your order — perfect for printing, journaling, or saving to your phone.

❓ Do I need the diffuser?

Not at all. It’s optional.

If you already own a ceramic or ultrasonic diffuser, the oils will work beautifully with your setup.

Some rituals can also be done with a roll-on, steam bowl, or simple oil blend — no device required.

❓ Are these oils organic?

We use therapeutic-grade, safety-certified, and batch-tested oils.

While not all are certified organic (due to small-batch suppliers), we prioritise sustainability, purity, and full traceability.

❓ I’m scent-sensitive. Will this be too strong?

This collection is designed for sensory support — not overload.

You can start with a drop, or blend into carrier oil before using.

All recipes are adjustable to your sensitivity.

For many migraine-prone users, these blends become a soothing part of their sensory care — not a trigger.

• Thyme

Spicy & Stimulating Oils to Avoid:

✅ Essential Oils Considered SAFER for Pregnancy (With Proper Dilution)

These oils are generally considered gentler when used correctly, but they should always be diluted and used in moderation.

Floral & Gentle Oils (Best for Relaxation & Stress Relief):

• Chamomile (Roman) – Calming and soothing.

• Neroli – Gently uplifting and balancing.

How to Use Essential Oils Safely During Pregnancy

💧 Dilution is Key – Use a maximum of 1% dilution (1 drop per 10ml carrier oil). Essential oils should never be applied undiluted to the skin.

🌿 Avoid Ingestion – Essential oils should not be taken internally during pregnancy.

🌸 Use in Moderation – Stick to occasional use, such as diffusing for 20–30 minutes at a time.

🛁 For a Relaxing Bath:

• Mix 2–3 drops of a safe essential oil with a tablespoon of carrier oil before adding to warm bathwater.
• Avoid adding oils directly to the water, as they can irritate the skin.

💆 For Massage & Skincare:

• Use a safe essential oil in a low dilution (1 drop per 10ml carrier oil) for a gentle pregnancy massage.

🏡 For Diffusing & Home Use:

• Add 3–5 drops to a diffuser to create a calming atmosphere.
• Open windows occasionally to ensure fresh air circulation.

(Always perform a patch test before using a new oil, as pregnancy can heighten skin sensitivity.)

Final Note

While some essential oils can offer wonderful comfort and relaxation during pregnancy, they should always be used cautiously, sparingly, and under expert guidance. If in doubt, consult a qualified aromatherapist or healthcare provider.

🌿 The Truth About Essential Oils: Purity, Quality & Misleading Claims

What really makes an essential oil high quality? Should you ingest them? And how do you avoid overpriced marketing gimmicks? Let’s break it down.

What Defines a High-Quality Essential Oil? 🌿

With so many brands claiming to offer the "purest" or "therapeutic-grade" essential oils, how can you tell what's truly high quality?

Here’s what actually matters:

✔ Purity is measurable – True essential oils are free from synthetic additives, fillers, or dilution. Independent testing verifies purity.
✔ Aroma reveals quality – A high-quality oil has a rich, layered scent that smells exactly like the plant it comes from—not flat, overly sharp, or artificial.
✔ Pricing should be fair – While pure essential oils aren’t cheap, extreme pricing doesn’t mean “better.” Some brands charge 3×–5× the industry standard without offering anything truly superior.

🌿 Pro Tip: When you open a bottle of essential oil, trust your senses! If it smells harsh, weak, or synthetic, it's not the real deal.

Can You Ingest Essential Oils? The Truth Behind the Claims 🚫

Some companies claim their essential oils are "so pure you can ingest them"—but is this safe?

💡 Did you know? Just one drop of peppermint oil is equivalent to drinking 28 cups of peppermint tea! That’s how powerful essential oils are.

🚫 Why Ingesting Essential Oils Can Be Risky:

•  Irritates the digestive tract – Essential oils are highly concentrated and can burn sensitive tissues.
•  Liver & kidney overload – Your body isn’t designed to process essential oils like it does whole herbs or teas.
•  Photosensitivity & toxicity risks – Citrus oils like lemon and bergamot can cause severe skin reactions when consumed in large amounts.
•  Marketing over safety – Some companies push internal use as a business model rather than based on expert recommendations.

🌿 Reality Check: Even clinical aromatherapists use essential oils internally only in extreme cases, with medical supervision, and in highly diluted doses. The safest way to use essential oils? Aromatherapy, skincare, and diffusion.
