I just got a diffuser / a basic set of oils and would like to learn a few recipes to use for both depression and anxiety. If you have any recipes that have worked for you, I would appreciate them. Thank you.
I use lavender all the time to keep depression and anxiety away.
For depression: any citrus, geranium, juniper
For anxiety: ylang-ylang, lavender, chamomile, bergamot
I like a blend of that is orange, lemon rose geranium and cedar…
Or some lemon, juniper and pine…
Here are a bunch of recipes for aromatherapy and the traits they will typically bring out in people – http://www.aromatherapy-blends.net/aromatherapy-recipes.htm
