Well Kit, I'd say you're on the right track with the once-a-week massages and

the

lavender candles. Perhaps your friend could also try a bath oil/milk for last

thing

at night, to help her sleep. She could put three drops of ylang ylang, three

drops

of lavender and three drops of sweet orange in a tablespoon of bath milk that

has no

smell (or even full cream milk), and swish it around in a bath (not too hot).

Then

get in and relax for fifteen minutes or so ... Inhaling the steam will help as

well

as the essential oils penetrating the skin. Make sure you get a good brand of

essential oils so you know they're the real thing.

Yum.

My office mate is an extremely stressed-out lady. Between being a single

mom in the process of moving in with a really sweet man (whom she's engaged

to), and work, and assorted other things, she's so tense it is making her

ill. She's also not sleeping that well. I have told her to get her one of

those lavender candles for that. I am looking for other scents to encourage

her to relax/destress, that sort of thing. I only know lavendar. A few

different suggestions would be great, 'cause she's allergic to a great deal

of things so this is going to be an experiment. Her doctor's not been much

help with this quite honestly. We both visit a massage lady once a week who

is just wonderful, and I do notice an improvement in my office-mate after

those visits.

 

Any suggestions would be wonderful! Thank You

Kit
