1. Sip a chamomile infusion. Chamomile is an essential part of your home remedy toolkit! I suggest buying loose chamomile and making your own infusion. This basically means, put 2 Tablespoons of dried, loose chamomile flowers in a teapot (or French press), fill with boiling water, steep for 5 minutes, then strain and drink. You might also add some honey. Chamomile is a super safe and versatile herb – it has been used for centuries for reducing stress, relaxation and soothing upset tummies.

4. Take an aromatherapy bath. Baths are relaxing enough, but for some extra stress-relief, I like to add a handful of Epsom salts and 10 drops of essential oil to the running bath. You can use the lavender/clary sage mix as above, but I also like adding some Rose essential oil or Ylang Ylang essential oil. Just keep it to 10 drops total.

6. body oil. I know it’s not exciting, but when you’re feeling stressed make sure you’re hydrating yourself throughout the day. Having enough water helps your body function at its peak, and also helps to flush out any toxins. Drinking enough water also helps stabilize your mood and prevents the energy slump that comes from dehydration.
   
   
7. Eat some green, leafy veg. Greens are the most nutrient dense food, and we often don’t eat enough of them. In times of stress, making sure you boost your intake of green leafy vegetables like broccoli, spinach and (my favorite) kale will ensure you body gets the nutrients it needs to handle the stress!
