Herbal and naturopathic approaches can be effective for managing stress and promoting relaxation. Here are some tips that utilize these methods:

✨️Herbal Remedies

Chamomile: Known for its calming properties, chamomile tea can help reduce anxiety and promote sleep. Drink a cup before bedtime.

Lavender: Lavender essential oil can be used in aromatherapy to reduce stress and improve sleep quality. Try using a few drops in a diffuser or adding it to a bath.

Valerian Root: Often used to treat insomnia and anxiety, valerian root can be taken as a supplement or tea. It promotes relaxation and improves sleep.

Ashwagandha: An adaptogen that helps the body manage stress. Available in capsule, powder, or tincture form, it can improve resilience to stress and support overall well-being.

Lemon Balm: This herb has calming effects and can help reduce anxiety and stress. It can be consumed as tea or taken in capsule form.

Aromatherapy: Use essential oils such as bergamot, sandalwood, and ylang-ylang to reduce stress and anxiety. Diffuse these oils in your home or apply them to pulse points after diluting with a carrier oil.

Hydrotherapy: Use water to promote relaxation. A warm bath with Epsom salts and essential oils can soothe muscles and calm the mind. Contrast showers (alternating between hot and cold water) can also invigorate and reduce stress.

Your body—its organ systems and cells have biological rhythms. God designed it this way. It’s a marvelous design. Make sure your lifestyle choices aren’t interfering with this rhythm.

Some of the more common offenders:

* Poor diet choices: highly processed foods, excessive sugar, seed oils, colas, “junk”…you get the picture
* Eating too close to bed time
* Shift work. Been there, done that. Won’t do it again.
* Excessive screen time
* Too little time outside/too little sun exposure
* Blue light exposure after sunset
* Inadequate “down time”
* Not moving your body and/or over-exercising, exercising too late in the day
* Pharmaceuticals and toxin exposures—too many to list
* Dehydration
