Hi Jeanine

Vetiver is known as the oil of tranquility in aromatherapy and I've

found it really useful for people who can't switch off on the couch

(my massage couch, I mean). For your son, it's a good masculine aroma

too - try blending with Sandalwood and if it's too heavy maybe

sweeten it with a little mandarin or orange. The strongest sedative,

however, is probably Valerian. I don't know if it's appropriate in

this case though as it's more of a one-off thing rather than a

regular thing - like a sleeping drug almost. I think of it as the

equivalent of a sledge-hammer to the back of the head - not always

ideal!

Also, an Australian Bushflower Remedy called Black Eye Susan is for

those of us (myself included) who can't stop working in our heads.

It's about finding some internal peace. I've used with some success.

Hope it helps.

Jane
