Having trouble with the grief one as a couple oils I'm using work energetically but the smells not that great and not sure how to cover them...specifically Angelica and Holy Basil the children salve is for a boy who has cystic fibrosis. I'm looking to just use calming things that they can work into his feet. Lavendar is obvious... Any thoughts on either of these?
