11. Ylang Ylang
Cananga odorata is potent against high blood pressure, heart palpitations, rapid heartbeat, insomnia, depression, stress, and anxiety. It can even fight fear-related impotence (24).
12. Roman Chamomile
Chamomile really is the king of calm. Hailing from northwestern Europe and Northern Ireland, chamomile works against nausea, vomiting, heartburn, anxiety, and gas. Chamomile is safe to inhale and consume as a tea, but it can have a negative effect for people who suffer from asthma and allergies as well as pregnant women (25).
13. Rose
A study published in the journal Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice examined 28 postpartum women suffering from postnatal depression or general anxiety disorder. Just 15 minutes of inhaling a 2.5 percent solution of rose/lavender oil, repeated twice a week for 4 weeks, yielded remarkably positive results. Best of all, the treatment had no adverse effects (26).
