Ciao bella,
There are rules of the trade when using Essential Oils. They should always be diluted with a carrier oil. There are many such as sweet almond oil, grape-seed, rose hip or soybean etc. You cannot use an Essential Oil in its pure form. Mixing 3 or 4 oils together with a carrier oil can be pure heaven!
Investing in an Aromatic Book or just searching for different scents and their qualities can prove most therapeutic when put to use, quite easily!
Here are some Essential Oils and their qualities:
Lemon. Booster for immune system, refreshing, uplifting, relieves anxiety and depression
Chamomile. Calming properties soothing skin that is itchy, has eczema, soothes nerves and anxiety.
Cinnamon. Antiseptic use, relieves tension and exhaustion.
Lime. Mood elevator, energizes, refresher, also aids in fatigue
Jasmine. Relaxing, calming, rids depression
Ginger. Aids in aching muscles and joints, good for circulatory issues, nervousness, sharpens senses
Geranium. Astringent, balancing, tension and fatigue relief, antiseptic properties
Lavender. Calming, soothing, mood lifter, relaxing
Frankincense. Stabilizer, soothes and calms, developer for inner strength
Marjoram. To treat migraine, general headache, depression, stress and anxiety
Thyme. For better memory and concentration, muscle aches and pains, fatigue relief
These Essential Oils are just a few of the many that are used in bringing to you good Karma!
So take a whiff and feel it!
Buona giornata and God bless the United States of America!

Mary,
it is good to know that all those spices are in my garden and I can use them other than cooking. Of course I have lemons and keep finding new ways to use them.
