My mum went to a natural healthshop when I was pregnant and asked which essential oil/s they recommended. They ended up giving her a small bottle of Petitgrain. the leaflet says that is is sometimes known as the poor mans neroli. It is uplifting,soothing and clarifying. it's hlepful in times of convalescence, relieves restlesness, mild anxiety, tension and stress.

It may irritate sensitive skin though and also says to avoid u.v rays from the sun for at least 4 hours after treatment!

I can't say how well it works though. We had initially been told that we could have an oil burner in the room, then upon arrival we were told that we were not allowed to burn any oils/candles.
