I do not like the scent of lavendar much but have found that pink grapefruit is very relaxing to me so I use it in an essential oil diffuser, my body wash that I use before bed, my hand soap every time I go to the bathroom and so basically I surround myself with the smell and it helps a lot. I keep forgetting to put it on a rag so I can use it (when it dries) to scent my laundry as well, kind of like a dryer sheet. I'm waiting for someone to ask why I smell like a piece of fruit (which I can't even eat because it is contraindicated with a med), but I don't care, it calms me down.
