Author: Lavender essential oil is said to have calming and relaxing properties. Putting some on the wrist or adding a few drops to the bath is supposed to be very calming. But I don't really like Lavender. I think it's stinky and it gives me a headache. Anything I don't like the scent of gives me a headache.
What is another essential oil that I could try that has the same calming and relaxing properties of Lavender?
Hello? Anyone?
Thanks!! Rose sounds nice. So does Sandalwood. I didn't know these came as essential oils.
Does anyone know about chamomile for relaxing and if it comes in an essential oil?
Scents are very subjective. There's a lot more play than aromatherapist would tell you.
So while lavender is generally a relaxing scent it's not for everyone. There are lots of other scents to choose from. Try smelling sandalwood or patchouli or rose. Then pause after each and note who they make you feel. If it's a relaxed pleasant feeling buy it. Orange and peppermint are generally stimulating but other than that the field is wide open.
