Peppermint Halo roll-on is licensed for use to relieve headaches in Canada, as is our brand-new Peppermint Halo diffuser blend. Both products use a combination of six plant-derived essential oils, with a small difference in formulation between products, to help ease and relieve headaches and headache symptoms when used according to the usage guidelines.

Peppermint Halo roll-on was designed to be applied along the hairline, over the temples and along the back of the neck, over the trapezius muscles and across the shoulders.Our roll-ons are most typically used when applied directly. We have a dropper end on our bottles (at the bottom), and we provide dilution instructions, in the case that you would prefer to further dilute the product (for sensitive skin,preference to a lower concentration,etc).

Yes, peppermint oil has been studied as effective for relieving headaches, especially those linked to tension, stress, stiffness or the experience of fatigue, rather than to a chronic illness or condition. Peppermint oil contains a high percentage of menthol, which provides the cooling effect when applied topically to the skin. The cooling feeling stimulates receptors on the skin that can help reduce the perception of pain, particularly around the temples, forehead, neck, and shoulders, which are common areas that tension headaches form.

While peppermint is the most commonly associated essential oil for relief from headaches, all of the other ingredients within our formula, like lavender, eucalyptus, rosemary and bay laurel are also recommended. Lavender, for example, is excellent at encouraging a sense of ease and relaxation in the body, if headaches are caused by stress. Eucalyptus can encourage full, deep breathing which often gets shallow when someone is having the experience of pain. Rosemary is often linked stimulation, which can help you to feel restored and clarified if a headache causes feelings of fogginess, while bay laurel is steadying and supportive, rather than sharp and intense, to help ease tension, naturally.

You can choose your preferred Peppermint Halo format according to your needs. For a localized experience of relief that is applied topically to the skin, we recommend the Peppermint Halo roll-on. For an aromatic experience that can be used through diffusion and does not need to be applied to the body, we recommend the Peppermint Halo diffuser blend. We recommend the Peppermint Halo refill for those who already have a roll-on and do not need an entirely new vessel, but rather, to top up the one they already have.
