The heat of the bulb diffuses the oil and you are surrounded by the peppermint.  Hope this helps someone out there. Linda http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/7764/12792/dealing-workplace http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/7764/12544/morning-dilemna Mon, 20 Aug 2007 22:26:00 -0400 Ethans Nanna  I have been suffering with migraines for over 34 years and lately they are getting more frequent. I wake up with a migraine almost every morning and it lasts for hours. When I get one while I am awake my meds do a good job of stopping them but when I wake with one I'm usually in bed til noon.  Is there anyone with any advice for me?  I was seeing a neurologist for a few years but he just wanted me to take more and more meds... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/7764/12544/morning-dilemna
