Lavender and jasmine as mood boosters

You are down in the dumps. You're not at your best. This is not your day. You've just ended your relationship with your boyfriend/girlfriend. You are in trouble with your boss or your partners. You have family issues. You feel like putting an end to everything. You feel like everything is worthless and to top it all, you feel worthless, as if nothing really mattered anymore.

People usually think that stress associated with depression is not such a big deal. It is. Fifty percent of heart diseases are often associated with the cumulative effect of stress during years.
