Aroma therapy hurts.

I ordered some lavender and peppermint oil because I read that it relieves headache pain. It came in yesterday. It's in a nice little tube with a roll-on applicator. The directions on the bottle say rub the oil on your temples, forehead, and neck. What the bottle doesn't say: Peppermint oil burns.

So I don't know if the smell of the oil actually helped my headache pain because the oil made new pain. Next time maybe I'll just smell it and not actually put it on my face.

So in case you have some inkling any time soon to put peppermint oil on your face, don't do it. It hurts.

I never knew a smell could be so painful.
