Headache Relief Pots
2 oz (55g) Beeswax
3 oz (85g)Shea Butter
4 oz (115g)Olive Oil
10-15 drops of lavender essential oil
Lip Balm containers or small jars
These Pots are great for traveling or keeping in your purse for those sudden headaches.
If you can not get hold of Shea butter, then substitute the 3 oz of Shea butter with 1 extra oz of
beeswax and 2 oz of either a massage oil base like Apricot oil, or use Olive Oil.
Start by melting the beeswax and Shea Butter down in a double boiler method.
Once the bees wax is melted add all the oil's together including the lavender oil.
Now add the mixture to small lip balm pots or miniature jam jars.
This recipe makes 9 0z (250g) of solid Headache relief balm.
How to use: Apply to your temples and take deep breaths.

this looks awesome can't wait to try!!!!!!!
omg! i always have headaches haven't tried this but it looks awesome!
Hey everyone. I have some info on the pots... I bought some in Boes. They were kindof expensive ($12) but they came in a pack of 6. I have yet to try out this umm... Recipe? But I am sure t will be great!
The best place to put this on are your pressure points:) (medically speaking)lavender is a relaxing herb, especially to lower high blood pressure
Zoey, I have found tiny plastic pots with lids in craft shops and cheap shops for about $2 a packet
my mother in law uses the very small rubber maid containters. those work great!
You can buy containers as well as all the supplies that you may need on www.glorybee.com they are great they are local to me and i just bought everything that i needed from them
Wouldn't you be able to do this in a chapstick tube or lipstick tube?'Cause you can do that with most homemade lipgloss.
Cool idea, but where do u get the beeswax and shea butter from?
(In Australia)
I have headaches on the journeys & while watching movies. &now this is the solution. It is REALLY VERY USEFUL..... :-)
to Zoey:
You might be able to find those pots in a crafts store, like Michael's, or you could just go to a drug store, and buy a lip balm or body lotion in a tin can. If you use it up and wash it after it's empty, you could use that.
Great idea! And very very useful!! I will try it!
wow, i really needed this stuff
These aromatherapy items work very well. You can locate any and all kinds of containers from suppliers of candle making and body and bath vendors.

i just love it. i already tried thyem out. oh yes
Apply directly to the forehead!
;)
this is really intresting! i think i'll try it some day!
Can i just ask, does anyone know where you can buy lip balm pots and for how much? I want to try lots of projects like these, but have no-where to store them. Please help. xx Zoe (age 11) Thanks guys! :-)
Just massage your temples, you don't need to make this balm! The rubbing takes away the headache because it relaxes the tight muscles and gives you something else to think about!
I had a roll on oil before that I liked, but I think I would like this more!
PeterPam, it's like solid perfume, and certain scents heal certain things, like Lavender & Peppermint scents can help with headaches and healing. Eucalyptus is good too!! =3
Great recipe. I like to use eucalyptus. This is good if you don't like the scent of lavender. You can also rub this on the back of your neck too along with on your temples.
YOU RUBB IT ON YOUR HEAD!duhhhh!
I love the Idea.. I should actually make one for all my teachers and my mom
Fantastic.. it really works.
shea butter is available in Uk no problems ( can even buy in the Body shops)
