Hi David,
      You had mentioned not to use pine in you home. does that mean pine sol
when I mop floors. I don't use air fresheners If that is what you are
talking about.  About your sandalwood, I have tremors I do mediation to help
I don't use aroma therapy for I have asmth and smells bother me. You said it
stooped you tremors  could it be that when you use it you become relaxed
which in turn stops the tremors. I know that if I become stressed I get
tremors and If I take time to do some deep breathing and tell myself to calm
down and relax, my tremors also stop. If they are PD because of not enough
meds this does not work. Janice
