Just because we've been known to scoff at the touchy-feely language of many aromatherapy products -- with their promises of serenity and peace and energy boosts -- doesn't mean we don't desperately crave a little de-stressing or re-energizing.
So we can get fully behind Aromatherapy Interventions' Therapy Solutions, a cheeky line of candles that cuts through the new-agey promises and goes straight to what you're after.
Panic Attack has frankincense, good for assuaging "general fears of job loss, computer viruses, blind dates, and WMDs." Birthday Acceptance packs patchouli and sandalwood, good for promoting optimism, while Co-Dependent has ylang-ylang for anger and citrus to "counteract passivity and self-blame" (and two wicks).
And if you light Placebo, it creates "exactly the effect you're expecting." We can feel the tension draining away already.
