Answer: If you want to use aromatherapy, try relaxing smells, lavender (of coarse) but you can also try spruce, sandalwood, angelica, myrrh, frankincense, or juniper. There are lots of other kind too that might help. Go smell them, if it's soothing and you like it grant it a try! Citrus and minty smells, are energizing so try to stay away from those. Make sure you buy the purest you can find. I use a brand called garden essence. If they are pure you can put a drop in your mouth, rub it on your skin (if it burns use a haulier oil like olive grease one part essential to ten drops carrier) you can put some in s pray bottle near water, or you could diffuse it. I hope that helps and angelic luck!.
Aromatherapy is not scientifically proven to remedy any medical ailment. However, science also states that the sense of smell is the sense most intimately connected with your emotional memory. What this scheme is that you can surround yourself with scents that bring hindmost pleasant memories.
If you are having trouble sleeping, think pay for to a time when you felt most carefree. Then surmise of the scents you associate with that memory. Did you used to cook gingerbread cookies with your grandmother at Christmass? In that case, ginger would be an excellent scent to help out you relax. You know yourself the best..
Aromatherapy works, but you have to know your own body. Lavender is a good generic sleep aid. You can catch products like candles, soaps, lotion, bed linen spray surrounded by about any Wal-mart store. Chamomile is good too. They even enjoy lavender for babies now. I use the bath dry-clean and oil for my daughter.
