Instant calm in a bottle:
Author:Stephanie SaltzmanUpdated:May 24, 2017Original:May 23, 2017Look, there's a lot going on in the world right now. Even if everything in your personal and work life is humming along perfectly , there's still plenty to be stressed about. In fact, even before the current political hellscape took hold, millennials had been dubbed the "most anxious generation." Cheery!
In addition to finding a good therapist and maybe leaning into meditation, embracing different forms of self care when possible can go a long way. Perhaps you already have a routine that involves cocooning yourself in your comfiest athleisure, lighting up a blessedly inexpensive candle and pulling up your Headspace app — but might we suggest also trying a calming room or linen spray?
There's science behind aromatherapy as a means of mood alteration. According to research from the University of Maryland Medical Center, lavender "may slow the activity of the nervous system, improve sleep quality, [create a] more stable mood, [promote] better concentration and reduce anxiety." The American College of Healthcare Sciences reports that bergamot can be a powerful mood-booster, while clary sage can promote a sense of clarity and contentedness.
