Has anyone here ever had any success using aromatherapy for anxiety a/o depression a/o weight loss? I'm very interested in alternative and naturopathic therapies.

I'm not totally sure about aromatherapy, but for me I like the smell of lavender when I'm trying to sleep. The lavender smell calms me down. I had this spray I would spray on my pillows and bedsheets before I went to bed and I believe it helped me.

Aromatherapy works great for my anxiety and depression most of the time. I love ylang ylang and chamomile the best.

For anxiety I have a sage and lavender spray that I love. For weight loss you could try grapefruit or citrus scents. I diffuse grapefruit oil in my office since I tend to want to snack a lot while I’m at work. It does seem to decrease cravings.
