aromatherapy–too many essential oil drops coming out?

I have a problem with the dropper aspect of the essential oil bottles. Too many drops come out waaaay too quickly. For example, a "recipe" calls for 3 drops of lavender, but my bottle drops out alot more than that as soon as I tip it over. What can I do to remedy this?

any suggestions?

Lavender for cooking?

I live in Asia where lavender is not a commonly found plant, even dried lavender. I’ve seen some packets of dried flower for aromatherapy and potpourri mix, but they are obviously not safe for consumption.

However, I have seen lavender tea. I’d like to know if lavender tea is the equivalent to the type of cooking lavender recipes use for making lavender sugar, cookies, cupcakes & icing?

I am not sure if lavender for tea is further treated/cured, thus making it less potent than normal cooking lavender, or if it is the same. Would appreciate anybody’s advice on the matter, thanks. :O)

Can you help me with my aromatherapy question?

I’m doing an experiment with oils. I’m looking at oils that might help one to relax in stressful situations.

So I’m asking for your help.
1. Mention an oil that is relaxing BESIDES LAVENDER, I’ve done research on it and people already know it’s relaxing. Also, don’t mention ROSEMARY or LEMON. Research has shown that those scents are alerting.
2. The source telling us that suggests it may be relaxing
3. A product that projects the smell.
