Headache
Peppermint Temple
A strong mint cup, and a warm cloth if you want one.
Peppermint tea for a tight head is a kitchen habit: drink a cup, and if you like, wring a cloth in the leftover pot and lay it on the forehead. Cool aroma, simple method.

- The steam is useful on its own
- Ready in six minutes
Go gently
- Mint can worsen reflux.
- Do not put peppermint essential oil on the forehead instead — that is a different, harsher product.
- Not a treatment for sudden, severe, or unusual headache — seek care.
