Home remedy for TTH: Tension type headaches (also known as stress headaches) are the most common of headaches. Essential oils are highly effective as an adjunctive in treating tth. You also can use peppermint oil. However, successful therapy is achieved by treating the source of pain, not the site of pain. Rec.: see an orofacial pain or headache specialist for evaluation.
