My sister recently underwent serious back surgery with a significant amount of discomfort afterwards. We put lavender on a wet washcloth when she was feeling nauseous, then peppermint when her head was aching, then Peace and Calming when waiting for meds was making her anxious. The combination of the damp, cool washcloth on her neck or forehead and the scent of the oils calmed her down and relieved her discomfort. It had the added benefit of making the room smell wonderful...everyone who walked in commented on how nice her room smelled.
