Hi,
I just wanted to tell you that, whilst I take meds (mood stabiliser, antidepressant and antipsychotic), I have found that aromatherapy can take the edge off my anxiety, if I use a few drops of oils in the bath or on an oil burner before it has progressed too far. I have found that by using aromatherapy I can just about get by without benzodiazepines (which I am afraid to take because I have a history of addiction).
I don't think that it's been any sort of miracle cure for me, and I don't consider it a substitute for medical help, but I expected it to have no discernable effect and was pleasantly surprised at the fact that it does make a small difference. Every little helps!
Take care, everyone,
Shelly xx
