I use aromatherapy all the time! I grow my own herbs and use lavendar a lot! I am also a candle freak. Not only the fragrance - but the soft light.

I agree. The scent of lavender really calms me. I have some lavender essence spray that I spray on my pillow before I go to bed.

Lavender is one my my all time faves...especially when I can find time for a long bath.
I haven't found any quality scented lavender lately...any suggestions?

Hi DS friends...not sure if this is ok or not...but I entered one of my guinea pigs in a photo contest...and we need your votes. For the month of April - I'm asking all my pals to vote at least once a day (it says only one vote per computer) so that we can at least get in the running.
I know this has nothing to do with depression - but my animals (as you have heard me go on and on about) are my shining lights in my life.
I am very grateful for anyone that will participate daily. Here is the link - SHE'S PHOTO #7 - Candi - the white fluffy guinea pig sitting by the Christmas Sleigh.

Aromatherapy is the best. I am really into it actually. I am smelling lemon basil as we speak. It is has the effect of keeping me alert and it helps me concentrate.

I must say it is pretty cool that there is a essential oil called Melissa (that is my name) and its main feature is to help with depression. cool huh?
