all be used before bed.

Although a bath with any of the essences listed above
will be relaxing, baths cause core blood to rush to the
skin as the body cools itself, and this is not always
conducive to peaceful sleep.
Light massage of the abdominal region: If caused by
anxiety use lavender or neroli. If caused by indigestion
try lemon or tangerine.
Massage: Despite its reputation as an aphrodisiac, ylangylang
is ideal as it slows and regulates the heart rate.

the palpitations are caused by nervous shock. Be careful
though as some heart conditions are exacerbated by
warm or hot baths.
