STEP 8 - CLUSTER HEAD TENSION

broken image

CLUSTER head tension is often characterized by a severe burning or piercing sensation around or behind one eye, or on one side of the face. This may be accompanied by a watery eye (possibly bloodshot), or a drooping eyelid on the affected side. Nasal congestion can also occur on this side.

Cluster head tension gets its name from the fact that the attacks can occur in groups, or clusters. They can be episodic, lasting from fifteen minutes to three hours, one to three times a day. Or they can be chronic, happening daily for months at a time.

These Essential Oils can help with cluster tension:

  • Frankincense

  • Peppermint

  • Lavender

  • Rosemary

  • Basil

  • Tension Blend

Often called the “King of Oils,” FRANKINCENSE is renowned as one of the most prized and precious Essential Oils, and has extraordinary health benefits.* Its soothing and beautifying properties can support skin health and help reduce the appearance of imperfections. When inhaled or diffused, FRANKINCENSE supports feelings of peace, relaxation, satisfaction, and overall wellness.

PRACTICAL USES

• Rub Frankincense on your hands after a long day of gardening for a warming and soothing effect.

• Helps reduce the appearance of skin imperfections.

• Can be applied to the bottoms of feet to promote feelings of relaxation and to balance mood.

• Take one to two drops in a veggie capsule to support healthy cellular function.*

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

DIFFUSION: Use three to four drops in the diffuser of your choice.

INTERNAL: Dilute one drop in 4 fl. oz. of liquid.

TOPICAL: Apply one to two drops to desired area. Dilute with Fractionated Coconut Oil to minimize any skin sensitivity.

CAUTIONS

Possible skin sensitivity. Keep out of reach of children. If you are pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor’s care, consult your physician. Avoid contact with eyes, inner ears, and sensitive areas.

CLEARING THE CLUSTER RECIPE

• 1 drop FRANKINCENSE applied to the tip of the thumb.

With the underside of your thumb facing you, place one drop of FRANKINCENSE on the tip of your thumb. Insert the thumb into your mouth and place gently on your soft palate at the roof of your mouth. The soft palate can be felt if you run your thumb from the front to the back of your mouth. You will feel the soft palate behind the hard palate. (Do not press your finger too hard on the soft palate, as this can initiate the gag reflex.) This method allows the Essential Oil to access the brain quickly, and can be done three to four times, at five-minute intervals, if necessary.

TIP: Applying FRANKINCENSE across the top of the forehead and at the temples can also help to increase its effectiveness.
