Essential oils

Does anyone use them? If so, what are you favorite ones and uses for them?

FI got me a package of a ton of different essential oils for Christmas, so I'm trying to figure out what to do with them all. My current favorite is lavender- a few drops of that on my pillow and I'm out like a light

Bath salts.

You just get epsom salts, put a scoop or a few in a bag, add your oils, and mix.  You can add food coloring to get a pretty color as well.

Wow those all sound amazing. I'm jealous!

In college I had a slight bout of insomnia for a while, so I would spray my pillow with a lavender linen spray. Worked like a charm!

Get an essential oil burner, they use a tea light to heat them and the whole room (or multiple rooms) smells wonderful!  Also as PPer said adding to epson salt for aromatherapy bath salts, or even just adding them to bath water makes it smell nice.
