Benefits of Aromatherapy to Fight Stress

Stress and its effects

 Stress is a common condition resulting from physical and mental extortion; it’s a body’s natural response to challenging and overwhelming situations, followed by feelings of anger, frustration, or nervousness. Chronic stress wears off your body, weakening your immune system, causing aches and pains, leading to exhaustion and sleeping problems. It can also result in fatigue and exhaustion.

How to reduce the level of stress?

Of course, the most valuable advice is to find what causes it and try to eliminate this reason. Yet it’s very difficult to do because in most cases it requires changing one’s lifestyle completely. However, Aromatherapy is a very efficient way to fight stress.

Aromatherapy and stress

Since stress is triggered by feelings of frustration and overwhelmingness, you need to subdue these feelings. There’s no better way to do so than with Aromatherapy – a method of treatment based on natural plant extracts that promote health and well-being.

Aromatherapy has such well-known benefits as anxiety and depression relief, bringing peace of mind, reducing headaches and overall body fatigue.

What should you use?

There are two main ways to apply aromatherapy, smell and skin absorption.

Smell absorption products:

• Scented candles – they’re not only beneficial for your health but also serve as alternative light sources, which then benefit the environment.  So as not to inhale chemicals and not to harm nature, always use plant-based candles, which you can find here.
• Humidifier – using a humidifier is a great way to improve the air so that it won’t dry skin and cause headaches. And, of course, it also reduces stress. This diffuser is made of eco-friendly material, it works with USB and has a big tank capacity.
• Oil diffuser – the most efficient way to distribute fragrance through the air, which relieves stress and solves problems with sleeping. You can also buy a diffuser with humidification properties to freshen the air besides other functions.

Skin absorption

• Essential oils – they should be combined with body massage for better effect; this way, both your body and mind will relax. We recommend buying oils in sets of different scents (from 6 to 14 pieced) since they’re responsible for different effects – from headache relief to mood improvement.
• Bathing products – it’s important to choose your bathing products not only according to their washing properties but also to their scents. For example, such shower filters possess aromatherapeutic properties, which add to stress relief, as well as moisturize skin with natural oils. `
