For tired legs and swollen feet:

A foot bath of warm water and three drops of diluted tangerine or geranium oil may be just the thing to give a boost to aching legs.

For stress and tension:

Add five drops of diluted rose oil to a warm bath. The stream's delicate aroma will relax your senses and your skin will smell great for hours.

For better sleep:

A warm bath with five drops of diluted lavender oil before bedtime to help lull you to sleep.

For back pain:

A warm bath with five drops of diluted sandalwood oil may relieve back discomfort.

For morning sickness:

Place a cotton ball in a clean perfume vial that's small enough to carry around. You could also use a clean, film container. After mixing lavender with a carrier oil, apply 1-2 drops to the cotton ball. Sniff whenever you need quick relief!
