Does anyone use aromatherapy as an alternative? Either as a complimentary therapy or just as a general mood enhancer? Any recommendations for oils to use at home?

I've heard lavender to help aid sleep...

I'm going to try a mix of lavender, chamomile and majoram to help me sleep. I'll let you know if it helps.

Ive googled Nd this seems a comprehensive list. BUT I'm not a qualified aromatherapist so cannot confirm whether these are correct. Personally I would suggest seeing if a local, independent, aromatherapist (if you could find one) to mix you up a bespoke product. Also, please bear in mind that some essential oils cannot be used for certain people, and may be contraindicated with any health conditions or medication you're taking.

I use aroma therapy as part of my mind exercises. I use different smells to help me drift off to sleep.

Seems interesting, never really thought of myself as an aromatherapy type though.
