Stress is a normal part of life, but when it becomes too much, it can affect our physical and emotional well being. Natural wellness products can help relieve stress by reducing anxiety and promoting relaxation.
Meditation.
Meditation is a practice where one focuses on breathing and relaxing while trying to clear his/her mind. This allows the individual to gain clarity and peace of mind. Meditation helps us focus on the present moment and reduces stress. It also improves concentration and memory.
Yoga.
There are many different forms of yoga, each with its own benefits. One form of yoga that has been proven to relieve stress is Hatha yoga. Hatha yoga is an exercise system based on poses (asanas) that focus on stretching and strengthening muscles.
Acupressure.
Acupressure is a type of alternative medicine that uses pressure points along the body to treat various ailments. It's also known as "acupuncture without needles."
Essential Oils, Diffuser Blends.
A great way to help relieve and ease symptoms of stress is through diffusing calming, relaxing and peaceful scents like lavender, chamomile, rosemary, eucalyptus, peppermint, clary sage, and ylang ylang.
Alternatively, you can blend Vika Organic's natural diffuser blends. These blends have been carefully blended to support your body and mind in receiving these scents as tranquil, balancing, uplifting and most importantly, stress relieving. Start with 4-8 drops added to your diffuser for a soothing sensory experience.
Our favorite diffuser blends to help you stress less:
Utopia: No matter what time of day or task this masterful blend will help you find balance of emotions (strength & softness).
Sanctuary: All bases are covered with the crisp signature scent that offers a mild blissful effect to bring out your inner zen.
The above blends also come in roll-on blends, which are portable, easy to use. Designed to be applied to areas of the body where one might experience symptoms of stress i.e. forehead, temples, along the jawline, over the throat and chest, wrists and in the elbow creases when stress strikes.
And remember to breathe deeply each time you apply; essential oils work in two main ways, by being applied to our skin topically and permeating through to our bloodstream and by being inhaled into our olfactory system.
