The goal of this pilot study is to learn if aromatherapy helps to reduce stress and improve relaxation and wellbeing in gynaecological cancer patients after they have finished their treatment for cancer. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Is there a benefit in using an aromatherapy product for relaxation and wellbeing after completion of cancer treatment. Researchers will compare a commercially available aromatherapy test oil blend to a control oil (an oil at high dilution with a faint aroma) to see if the oil blend helps to reduce stress and increase wellbeing and relaxation. Participants will: Use a commercially available aromatherapy product or a control every evening for 4 weeks and complete a questionnaire at the start, after 2 weeks and at the end of the 4 week period. During the four weeks of the study, the participants may wish to record their experience with the test oil and assess its impact on relaxation and wellbeing in a personal diary.
