Stress and anxiety are common issues that affect our daily well-being. Work pressure, family responsibilities, mental fatigue—these factors can cause nervous tension and disrupt emotional balance. Fortunately, anti-stress essential oils offer a natural alternative to soothe the mind and promote relaxation.
Why use essential oils for stress relief?
Relaxing essential oils are concentrated plant extracts with calming properties. In aromatherapy, they act on the nervous system through olfaction, helping to reduce anxiety and restore inner harmony. Some essential oils are particularly effective in lowering stress levels and improving sleep quality.
