gw225 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I have a friend into essential oils. Wants me to supplement my meds with topical application of oils, like Lavender, Bergamot or Vetiver. Anyone try this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrenn84 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I use a lot of essential oils I made all my own skin care (face wash toner face serum eye serum body wash body lotion) It has certainly helped my skin immensely. I do find the scents mood uplifting -!: soothing. I use a night time body lotion with lavender and sprinkle lavender on my bed linen before sleep. In the morning I use a grapefruit and lemon essential oil in body lotion that is energizing. I don't think as a replacement or single cure of depression though. I had a person I knew from work who tried to sell me the very expensive youngs living essential oils but I just purchased some online from a bulk supplier way cheaper and good quality. I also find by making my own skin care products I save a lot of money in comparison to buying department store brands plus honestly my skin looks the best it ever has in my life. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictorianGoth Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Lavender oil has been helping me so much lately. I pour a few drops in my hands and inhale it. Instant calm from anxiety. I also sprinkle it on my pillows. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

long journey Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Yes, soothing, so anxiety reducing. Any self care probably helps us a little bit, but generally, I have found all natural remedies to be fairly ineffective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animalier Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I certainly like the way they smell, and some relax me. I am sure our senses and the atmosphere really helps with reducing stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhyl Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I used to use lavender and vanilla to help me sleep. Loved it. Sprayed it on my pillow. Now, I used orange and lemongrass and mood elevators and for anxiety. I find they help temporarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguins Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Bath and body works sells a nighttime spray that you put on you're pillow to help you sleep. I've never tried it but it's something to consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
