I do! I used to take lavender oil supplements that helped take some of the edge off my anxiety. Lavender essential oils I really like not because they’re super amazing at calming me but because it helps me stay grounded to be able to smell smells that I like so having some on my body or even under my nose when I’m anxious I find to be helpful

Pro tip for cat owners (you can't use diffusers with cats, it's toxic) -- look into scented wax melts 😊 I've just discovered it recently

I’m not a fan of lavender so I use bergamot which is known to be calming as well.
