Scented Essential

Essential oils may cause skin irritation in some people. If you’re concerned about your sensitivity to the oil, test a little bit of diluted chamomile oil on the inside of your elbow before using it on other parts of your skin.

You can also apply oils down your spine or on the bottoms of your feet before bed.

Essential oils have also been shown to improve learning, memory and ability to focus. Both stimulating and sedative oils can be useful, as oils like eucalyptus can improve sustained attention over a longer period of time, while oils like bergamot can be useful for people going through tough exercises or situations.
