What other people think
'On an emotional plane, we find once again that the actions of this oil parallel its physical effects, for it is relaxing and emotionally 'warming'. It is a powerful antidepressant of a stimulating nature, which makes it one of the best oils to help where depression has given rise to a certain lethargy.' - an excerpt taken from Aromatherapy an A - Z by Patricia Davis.
