Depression and essential oils

"My husband is off of ALL his psyche meds by using Lavender, Calming Blend, Grounding Blend and Marjoram. He put them on his feet and back of neck. Our doctor worked with us because we told him we were going to do it anyway with or without his help.  My husband has been suicidal several times while on the meds. He came off the meds using the oils and then had a rough time so doc put him back on meds just for a short time. He immediately was suicidal again. Off the meds and just on oils for over a year and no desire for self harm."
