1. Headache

 

If you're suffering from a headache, allspice is a good natural remedy to try. It is an analgesic which means it is a natural pain reliever because it helps numbs the nerves. Allspice is also known to be a relaxant which can help calm your mind and body.

4. Cold

 

If you have a cold, rub a few drops of peppermint or eucalyptus oil on your chest for instant relief. Their cooling effect will help soothe colds.
