I'm fairly new to the forum and was curious if anyone used essential oils to treat/reduce their anxiety? If so what do you use? I've heard that lavender was a good one to use for relaxation and stress relief but other than that I'm kinda clueless.
Just a little background on me, I'm currently not on medication but was about 7 years ago. I've started up therapy again because the anxiety is getting worse and I'm starting to have panic attacks again. I'm trying to figure out if there are ways to treat/reduce my anxiety without a prescription.

There's an amazing thread on here called guided mediation. I've just started trying mediation and I must say it is really strange the first few times but its definitely helping me relax, especially night time.

Also valerian root is helping me I've started taking that and I've hardly touched my beta blockers since starting them.
