P.S. Having used essential oils, herbal teas and many "naturally occuring" supplemental foods and tonics for over 30 years (personally, and with clients), and witnessing the often, profound effects of natures cure, that assist the body with detoxifying, stress and pain relief; I can say with confidence that it may be worth trying. Many of these are nervines (St. Johns Wort, Valerian esp.) which, do not pair well with anti- depressants, so be careful and always check with an M.D.. A diffuser, a cotton ball dabbed with a fav scent, either thrown in the dryer with your pillow case, or snuggled inside for deeper sleep helps. Some citrus scents are uplifting, other oils invigorating, bring clarity and diminish sensations of pain, in some people. As we know clove oil remedies a tooth ache, so as a eucalyptus steam clears the sinuses (don't open your eyes!).
