Manage Stress and Anxiety Naturally | Maryline Hourlier
Stress has become one of the most widespread ailments of our time. Fortunately, nature abounds in effective solutions to regain calm and serenity in daily life.
Anti-stress essential oils
- True lavender: a few drops on your pillow or diffused for an immediate soothing effect
- Roman chamomile: ideal for massage on the solar plexus, diluted in sweet almond oil
- Ylang-ylang: releases emotional tension and promotes a sense of well-being
- Bergamot: balancing and invigorating, it chases away anxiety while boosting morale
Adaptogenic plants
Rhodiola, ashwagandha, and ginseng help the body better resist chronic stress. Taken for 3 weeks, they strengthen resistance to stress and improve energy.
Heart coherence
5 minutes, 3 times a day: inhale for 5 seconds, exhale for 5 seconds. This simple technique significantly lowers cortisol levels.
Anti-stress diet
Magnesium is the anti-stress mineral par excellence: almonds, dark chocolate, green vegetables, pumpkin seeds. A deficiency significantly amplifies anxiety symptoms.
