Re: [Everything doTERRA] Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

This would overwhelm me personally if I were just starting. Could you just offer him Balance to begin with?

I have a friend with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. He is on medications to stop him from having dreams because if he doesn't take the meds he has nightmares that are so awful he can't sleep at night.  Day to day, he is a pretty healthy, functional, active person, but I know that he struggles with depression and other  symptoms of PTSD. I wanted to recommend some oils for him, and had some ideas for it. At the same time, I don't want to overwhelm him by offering him a super pricy option or overloading him with too much info. Natural medicine and essential oils are not something he knows much about. I know he's open to new info, but when I offer specifics about nutrition, holistic medicine, etc, I think he tunes out a bit because it's not connected to anything he is familiar with. 

So, here is what I was thinking as far as something to offer my friend:

LLV Vitamins

Vetiver oil

Frankincense

Geranium 

Lavender  

What do you feel about these suggestions? Maybe just one of these to start with would be best, and then gradually  introduce more oils? I was going to offer him a sample of LLV vitamins to try for a week or two to see if he likes them before buying (he's on a veteran's budget, which isn't a whole lot, so I wanted to give him the option of trying something before making an investment).
