Stress and anxiety are among the most common issues in our daily lives. Whether it’s work pressure, family responsibilities, or personal challenges, these conditions can negatively impact our mental and physical well-being. Fortunately, essential oils offer a natural and effective solution to promote relaxation and reduce stress.
Why use essential oils to relieve stress?
Essential oils are concentrated plant extracts with recognized therapeutic properties. Through aromatherapy, they act directly on the nervous system by influencing the brain via olfaction. Some essential oils have calming properties, helping to reduce anxiety and restore emotional balance.
The best essential oils for stress and anxiety

2. Ravintsara essential oil: For mental calmness
Highly valued for its benefits on immunity, Ravintsara essential oil is also an excellent ally against stress. With its balancing and soothing properties, it helps calm mental agitation and promotes restorative sleep.
