Do you need a little Stress Relief?

iStock_000002334807XSmallEvery day of our lives we are faced with at least a little bit of stress or worrying and most of the time a deep breath will make it manageable or go away.

Unfortunately stress has a way of starting with your emotions and then starts to move down your body to your muscles, affecting your breathing, causing headaches, insomnia and loss of appetite.

Here are 2 ways to help you release that emotion;

  1. Massage – is the best way of releasing the tension that has built up in your body.  It helps to improve circulation and relax your muscles.  All you need to do is add a few drops of essential oil to your massage oil (do not apply directly to the skin) and combined they will help you to achieve an emotional and physical balance again.

Here are a few suggestions of essential oils; lavender, geranium, juniper, ylang ylangrosemary, chamomile, cedarwood, lemon, mandarin, petitgrain, orange, bergamot, and clary sage.

 2.    Bathing – soaking in a bath tub is such a simple thing that can also help relieve stress mentally and physically.  All you need to do is add a few drops of essential oils directly to your bath or dilute it with a carrier oil and soak away! 

Here are a few suggestions of essential oils; geranium, chamomile, thyme, lavender, orange, ylang ylang, marjoram, lemonclary sage, petitgrain, and mandarin.
