TerryRGirl Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I suffer with this too, my doctor wont give me anything and says to take paracetamol or something stronger if it gets bad, I got mine after getting a severe headache for days on end then a 2 day nose bleed where I was kept in hospital for 3 days then got diagnosed with it. I use a variety of things Essential oils - Eucalyptus, camphor(white) both very strong and peppermint and lavender for when my head is playing up more because I find the peppermint opens your airways more and the lavender soothes your headache nicely. I use an oil burner for mine - or sometimes I use a carrier oil and add some eucalyptus into a really hot bath and that helps quite a bit. I always carry a tub of white tiger balm too, a small tub lasts quite a while. I work with essential oils so I use them more than medication as I find they have better ways of clearing your airways better than taking a tablet. I think I'm in the right job.. If I'm feeling rough I can go in and bottle up some oils and clear my head at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen it in years and can only find the weaker red stuff these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryRGirl Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I get mine from boots, its very rare they have the white one in so I have to go back and check, Ive seen it in asda though as well so maybe have a look there?? I *think* holland and barretts do it too, I know when I lived in sheffield the boots in Crystal Peaks definatetly sold it there for just under a fiver.
