....something for menopausal ladies like the cat-calming pheromonal plug-in room diffuser, "Feliway"?   It could be lavender-oil-based (which, I think I read somewhere here, has eostrogenic properties  ) and would be just the thing to deal with meno anxiety.   I'd certainly use one!   Probably have one in every room - and in the car, too

Good idea.

A duvet that senses you are getting hot lifts up and hovers until you cool down ( don't think OH would be keen)  Flutterbyx

......  good thread!  Anti-anxiety med which isn't addictive

I have some lavender kitchen cleaner 

(I do like a mix of lavender and chamomile for a soothing bath.  Chamomile is very expensive and smells funny, but I have grown to love it  )

I keep meaning to buy one of these diffusers, as I love lavender - and lemongrass ... will see if it is reviewed on Amazon:

It can be used with your favourite essential oil.

Here's another - this company sells the oils too:

the wicks have to be changed every so often.

I grew a camomile lawn years ago, one of my more expensive ideas  .  The cats hated the smell so when I wanted to escape from them I would sit in the middle  . I didn't like the smell either

Oh good!  Thanks Night_Owl!  I'm going to get one....or two....or....

......and in the meantime, I'll totally rely on my pack of little lavender bags.  I've got one beside my bed, one in my bag, one in the lounge, one in the car..........I swear they've made a difference to my anxiety over the past couple of days.   

[CLKD]

Do you grow, pick and make the lavender bags yourself?

[dulciana]

I'm afraid not, CLKD.  Got them in a pack of 12, from Amazon.

[CLKD]

I grow lavender ........

[dulciana]

I would if I could but we're in a flat....!

[CLKD]

It will grow in pots .......... doesn't need much watering, in sandy soil lavenders will do OK indoors.  Watering every couple of weeks stood in the bath/shower and given a Very Good Soak, drain then stand pot in a saucer.  The plants may not last as long as those grown outside but I have been successful with that as well as rosemary.

There's a thought...............
