Using essential oils as part of our Mental Health

Hi all,

I am starting this thread as I could not find one like it.

Does anyone use Essential Oils as part of their mental health?

How do you use them?

I have started looking into Essential Oils. I know there are lots of brands around but I have been using doTerra oils. You can difuse them, injest them or rub them on different parts of your body.

My first aim is to use them to help me sleep without the need to use as many sleeping tablets as I do. I know the meds are not good for long term use so looking at different ways to help. I am also looking at using them to lower my anxiety and increase my energy/motivational levels during the day. These are my main goals for the moment.

So to start of with this is what I am trying:

At night, diffuse Franincense and Lavender in a diffuser in my room.

Use Balance and Lavender used on the bottom of my souls and on my face before I go to sleep.

In the morning, 2 drops of Frankincense under my tongue and twice a day 2 drops of Lemon in my water.

I am interested to see if anyone else has tried Essential Oils, use them or would like to give them a go. In no way am I an expert, however, I don't like relying on meds for sleep, anxiety and depression.
