You can read a useful introduction to which aromatherapy oil to use for stress and how to use it on http://stressfish.com/aromatherapy_stress.htm What is particularly useful about this article is that it distinguishes between different states of stress which need different kinds of aromatherapy essential oils.

Clary Sage
For example, there’s the kind of essential oil that has the “slap around the head, wake up!” effect to snap a person out of stress. Which is very useful – but people who are already worn down by stress don’t need any more beatings, and they will do much better with something strong, and supportive, so they can recover from the ravages of stress. There is also spiritual and emotional stress which has their own essential oils.
If you haven’t tried aromatherapy essential oils for or rather, against stress before, do give it a go. It’s amazing what they can do.
