Tea therapy
Herbal teas for relaxation
Herbal teas, like chamomile, peppermint, and lavender, are also popular for their calming properties.
Drinking them regularly can reduce anxiety and improve the quality of sleep.
They are also easy to prepare, by simply steeping dried herbs in boiling water, and provide an effortless way for anyone to unwind after a hectic day.
Scented relief
Aromatherapy with essential oils
Aromatherapy is all about using essential oils derived from plants to improve physical and emotional well-being.
Oils such as lavender, eucalyptus, and lemon can be diffused in the air or applied on the skin when diluted with a carrier oil.
The therapy is said to help reduce stress, uplift mood, and even boost energy levels.
Beginners can try different scents to see what suits them best.
Culinary boost
Incorporating fresh herbs in meals
Adding fresh herbs like basil, cilantro, or mint into your meals not only makes them flavorful but is also good for you.
These herbs come packed with antioxidants that promote health and may even improve digestion when consumed daily.
Beginners can grow these herbs easily at home or buy them fresh from local markets to add into salads, soups, or smoothies.
Skin soother
Using aloe vera gel topically
Aloe vera gel is famous for its soothing properties when applied on the skin. It is commonly used to treat minor burns, cuts or skin irritations owing to its anti-inflammatory effects.
The gel can be extracted directly from aloe leaves or bought as a ready-to-use product from stores.
Applying it regularly may help maintain healthy skin by providing hydration and reducing redness.
Nature connection
Practicing mindfulness with nature walks
Nature walks help you connect with the environment and practice mindfulness (a technique where you focus on the present moment, without judgment, to achieve mental clarity).
Strolling through parks or gardens amidst greenery lowers stress levels while promoting physical activity at the only cost of time spent outdoors enjoying the natural beauty around us every day!
