Depressive episodes

Over the past two months I have experimented with several therapeutic grade, organic, essentail oils to help mitigate the emotional aspects of my bipolar illness. I instinctively loved Helychrysum from my first whiff. I have tried both Frankinsence (which I find very overpowering -but I like it - for a migraine sufferer) and Sandalwood. I have had no depressive episodes or anxiety attacks to date. I have added these oils to the daily journals I keep of my moods and the drugs I take and expect it may take many months to determine their role and usefulness in maintaining my wellness.

Having said that I am a Horticulturist and know that plant oils are very powerful. I just don't, to date, have any meaningful data that would qualify me to give advice. I'll check back in with you in 3 months.
