Scents of calm

Lara Tabac

Lavender, camomile, rosemary, geranium, sage, sandalwood, sweet marjoram, juniper berry, cinnamon, clove, eucalyptus and peppermint are some of the many essences that relieve stress and anxiety.

You can benefit from aromatherapy at home or at work. Try potpourri, incense, candles, room spritzers, oil-diffusing sticks and aromatic bathing products. Keep a bowl of potpourri on your desk, shower with lavender and peppermint-infused products, sprinkle some cinnamon on your (decaf) coffee or sip a mug of camomile tea.

Burn a stress-relieving, rosemary-scented candle before bed to bring aromatherapy into your daily routine.

Clean your bedding with a lavender-infused linen wash to sweeten your dreams or have an aromatherapy massage. A trained professional can create an aromatic blend of oils to treat your specific type of stress.
