I don't care if someone doesn't want to try them, but they are no less real than the plastic stuff put out by the chemists. I have used them to quite good effect - not for depression but for physical things like infection (raw honey) and so forth as well as a specific ptsd situation (sacral cranial energy work). And I swear by acupuncture.

I agree with this. And I'm a chemist who makes plastic stuff for the drug overlord companies  (hey, plastic is awesome too!!! )
The natural remedies actually work better for some people. And the pretty smell is more than just pretty - it stimulates the secretion of feel-good hormones and neurotransmitters like seratonin. Stuff that smells good makes you feel good. You don't need science to know that.
