What are the scents in aromatherapy for? I need a list, like Rose = Stress relief (i'm pretty sure that's not true, though. It's just an example). Please try to include as much scents as possible, I need to know what scents I need to buy.

What constituents are you looking for, just stress? It's my job and life's work, so your best bet is to buy the oils pre-made by the formula. Other than that, Lavender Lane is the most reasonable online company for purchases. I get mine at discount and at bulk because I have a business, so please be careful in deciding which ones you choose. Not all oils are to be used in conjunction with others, and if you plan on making your own formulas with the oils themselves, use goggles and gloves, otherwise you are playing with fire.

How do you plan on using them?
Here is a formula to be used as an inhalant, spray aerosol or bath ( just know that oils in the bath must be used accordingly and very little goes a long way- don't get out too fast, you'll end up slipping in the tub ).

...

4 1/2 parts lavender
4 1/2 parts orange
2 parts pine
5 parts sandalwood
5 parts lemon verbena
4 parts galangal
5 parts vetivert
2 parts cinnamon

These in a dilution of distilled water for aerosols is very effective. This is a very strong formula and if you are not comfortable making it, I go back and recommend going through the online catalogs for pre- made ones.

I wish you all the best in your decision.

Lavender & Vanilla seem to work the best for relaxation, as well as Jasmine & Ylang Ylang. But don't do more than 1 ingredient @ a time, or the scent is ruined. Have fun!

Hemorrhoids are associated with constipation and straining at bowel movements. How to get rid of hemorrhoids https://tr.im/Ka9a7
Pregnancy is also associated with hemorrhoids. These conditions lead to increased pressure within the hemorrhoidal veins that causes them to swell. Other conditions, for example chronic liver disease, may also cause increased venous pressure and may be associated with hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are very common and are estimated to occur in up to one-half of the population by age 50.

I think that they use glycerin, wax, you know those ingredients for lip cream or something like that (I forget the name of it).
