    Mmm...Rosemary, you have me relaxed by just describing it! I like essential oils too, but can't use any in the chiro setting because one of the docs is too sensitive to many aromas & sneezes...can't have that! I stick with just a felt pad tucked into the face cradle with a couple drops of something appropriate & benign, like peppermint or eucalyptus if there are sinus issues; the favorite all-around seems to be "Joy" from Young Living. Blending your own ~ how cool!

    Does anyone else have suggestions for soothing the angry or negative attitude of a client?
