 In an ideal world, stress is something that we could either get away from or change. However, we do not live in an ideal world. In actuality, there are two types of stress – good stress, otherwise known as Eustress, and bad stress, or what we know as Distress. Although oftentimes used interchangeably, it really is the latter that requires more attention.

Stress is makes itself evident via changes in body function and health (backache, fatigue, frequent urination, breathing problems), changes in emotions and feelings (irritable, sad, worried, tense), changes in behaviour (always asleep or rarely goes to sleep, eats more than usual, eats less than usual, drinks alcohol, uses drugs), and changes in thought (feelings of hopelessness and helplessness, difficulty remembering things, difficulty concentrating).

One way of managing stress is through the use of aromatic candles. However, you cannot just get up and buy any kind of aromatic candle. You have to know which ones would be able to give you maximum help.   If you would like to alleviate stress resulting from anger or anxiety, you could try candles with scents of frankincense, Jasmine, Juniper, Lavender, Neroli, Sandalwood, or Ylang-Ylang. Jasmine and Lavender can also be used to ease depression. Ylang-Ylang, Frankincense and jasmine can also help take away nervous exhaustion.

You have to keep in mind however, that stress should not be taken for granted. The best way to deal with it is to look at the real reason behind your stress. Aromatherapy only serves as a ‘first aid’.

The Real Deal on Stress Management

Experience True Relaxation

Stress is an integral part of one’s life. It is one of the forces that move us around. Stress is usually classified into two – Eustress and Distress. Eustress (true stress) allows us to perform better while Distress (bad stress) weakens us which could eventually lead to various health-related conditions.
 
Stress affects four areas of our lives – physical, mental, emotional, and behavioral areas. When you are stressed, you would notice that you have palpitations, you become irritable and restless, you have dyspepsia.  
 
So how do we deal with this? Here are some stress management steps to keep fatigue at bay:
 
1. Be aware of the early signs and symptoms of stress. Are you becoming irritable? Do you suffer from diarrhea? Are you experiencing feelings of guilt, anger, anxiety or depression? Are you becoming hyperacidic? Alone, these symptoms could be indicative of other medical conditions. Together, however, they could be indicative of stress. 2. Stay away from stressors. Avoid over committing and learn the art of delegation. Keep in mind that you can only do so much. Let other people handle things that are beyond your skills. Learn to say “no”. Oftentimes, we are ashamed to say “no” that we often find ourselves overworked.

3. Time Management. Learn to balance your time among family, work, leisure and friends.

4. Learn to relax your mind and body. Set aside some time for yourself. Sleep at least 7 to 8 hours a day. Try aromatherapy to soothe your mind.

5. Exercise regularly and eat nutritious food.

6. Allow yourself to have some fun. Oftentimes, we are too caught up with our work that we forget to have time for some fun. Laugh more to release stress.

7. Find someone who can give you support and then share your feelings with him or her. This creates a catharsis for all your pent-up emotions.

One way to relieve stress is aromatherapy. Aromatherapy spa products relieve stress by using relaxation agents in their oils, candles and ever body candles. These relaxation products can be just want you need to for your body to relax and refresh.
