Headaches are commonly caused by stress or muscular problems such as trigger points or knots in the neck and jaw muscles. Stress can also cause muscular tension in the upper body. Gentle stretching and laying down can help ease tension in the neck and shoulder muscles and help reduce stress levels. Essential oils that calm and help release muscle tension are useful for treating headaches.
