Aromatherapy and Graves’ Disease. 10 (ten) spiritually uplifting and calming scents you can use to help  Graves’ Disease:

Aromatherapy is the use of pure essential oils to enhance physical and mental well- being. Essential oils are aromatic, highly concentrated distilled essences of plants. They can sometimes be used as a natural adjunction to, or a substitute for prescription or over-the-counter drugs. For example, lavender oil has the ability to evoke and increase the release of serotonin, thus producing a calming effect on the body. This is my favorite essential oil and use it even today if I want to go to sleep quicker, or I stressed out. Using essential oil is very simple- Basically you dilute a small amount of essential oil in a base of some kind (either water or oil, termed a carrier oil, depending on the intended use) and apply or inhale it. For inhalation therapy, there are special devices available, including diffusers, simmer pots, aromatherapy lamps, and light bulb rings. When using some of these devices follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

1. Frankincense- anti-inflammatory, sedative, deepens breathing, enhances calmness
2. Geranium- antiseptic, hormone balancer, mildly sedating oil good for nervous tension
