Once my friend’s dad met with a sudden death and my friend’s mother was weak and crying a lot. We were worried for her also. when I applied a combination of cedarwood and lavender (in rose water) on her forehead in frequency of 2- 3 hrs ( only for that day). It relaxed her and she was able to handle the situation nicely and come out of it very fast. The same cedarwood has been a lot of help in cases of insomnia. It has given wonderful results helping people to relax and sleep peacefully and getting rid of sleeping pills.
