Aromatherapy help please?

[Yimei]

So I know rose scented stuff can help with your memory, but what do the other scents do? Like citrus, lavender and all that. Can someone put up a glossary for me?
(ex.) Rose: helps memory
Wood: blah blah blah
Lemons: blah blah blah

Oh and it would be helpful if someone knew of one that calms people.
Thank you!

I buy my oils from here www.oils4life.co.uk, some are expensive so have a browse around different shops and sites.

If you're using the oils on your skin you will need a carrier oil and you add usually around 5 drops per Essencial oils per 10ml of carrier oil.

Hope this helps.
