Now, what about the remedies?

1) A bath: Use essential oils in the bath by adding three to eight drops to the tub, depending on the oil. Add it just before you get in and soak for at least 10 minutes.
2) Candles: Candles can be a great to enhance the romance in your life. In the evenings, take about five or so candles and place them in safe places around your bedroom. Turn off the lights and add some soft and light sounds of music. Try mixings scents like vanilla and rose. You may try the same thing in your restroom for a nice, sensual and romantic bath with your loved one.
3) Inhalants:
a) Diffuse: Use either an electric or a tea light simmering pot to diffuse the essential oil into the air.
b) To treat congestion (try eucalyptus) or stress (try peppermint or sandalwood). Put four drops in a bowl of hot, almost boiling water. Drape a towel over your head to make a tent and breathe in the steam for a few minutes.
4) Feet soak: You may either use your tub or an electric foot soaker found in any store. You need only add five to seven drops of oil per each quart of warm water used; soak for about 10 minutes. You might try scents such a mint and lemon or tea tree.
5) Put a drop of oil on a hot light bulb. Do not use oil drops on halogen light bulbs.
6) Meditate: You may use Scented Incense, which are made from the above oils, find a quiet corner, put on some light music and just mediate 5 to 10 minutes out of your day
