It relaxes me a little. Like yesterday I was pissed at my fiance' b/c of our financial situation. I put 25 drops on each forearm and by the time I was finished rubbing it in, I had this "don't care" attitude. I'm not sure how much she liked that though b/c I pretty much ignored her the whole night and watched tv. Doesn't make me sleep any better though which is what I was mainly hoping ot get out of it
