Hi everyone,

Just wanted to put this information out here, as I haven't seen anything on the forums about essential oils. I think lavender essential oil is helping my anxiety a little bit. I recently got a diffuser for my lavender. At night (when my anxiety is especially bad), I will put it on for a couple hours, and it helps me sleep. I also put a bit on a cloth under my pillow.
I am finding I am having to take less Ativan now that I have been doing this therapy every night. I also will put the diffuser on during the day, if I am feeling especially anxious, and it helps.
I also drink lavender and chamomile tea at night, and that helps a little with anxiety.
Just make sure the lavender you buy is 100% pure, and your diffuser is a good quality one. I hope this helps someone.
