Title: Peppermint

They're back! After a longer than usual break. A great relief to me was the nearly scalding hot water on the wrists, which takes the blood supply away from the head. This was suggested by someone a long time ago and I found it good symptomatic relief if the headache is not totally berserk.

Recently discovered that very strong aromatic peppermints are a help in opening up the sinuses. Also helpful if the headache is not at full blast.

Good luck to all my fellow clusterers ;)

Odd, peppermint acts as a trigger for me at times. I stay away from the shit.

with warm regards,

Dude, I am so sorry to hear this.  Does this mean you are unable to eat mint-chocolate chip ice-cream?

Ugh, my heart goes out to you.

I have been using a Tension Relief Balm that has peppermint in it, and it has been helping me. Find it really helps for the back of the neck pain.
