The fragrant scent of basil helps to revitalise a tired mind. Keep a pot of fresh basil on or near your workstation. it will make the world of difference!

I am within walking distance from nursery (well, 30 minutes walking ...) I think I will go next week and buy a pot! I have had pots of basil before but they eventually expired (maybe I was waaayyy too tired for the poor plant), but I definitely want to try again. Besides - basil smells lovely and green is (for me) very soothing!

I need a quick fix....
Maybe I can strain the Prego sauce and there's enough basil in there to get me through the night

My essential oils guide says:[*]Rosemary for Mental Acuity[*]Mix Peppermint, Eucalyptus, and Lemon for Mental Clarity/Vitality
Basil is also considered soothing when faced with nervous depression, fatigue, anxiety, or hysteria.

Lavender is supposed to be very soothing. My t and I tried it. Instead of calming me, it makes me very angry, as does the smell of cinnamon.

That is really interesting Jan! Wonder why that happens?
Thanks for the added tips WinterRose. I love Rosemary and have two huge bushes growing in my garden. Along two lavendar bushes but we don't want those near Jan now do we? mybestkids - your comment made me laugh right out loud! Thank you!
