Remedies for Anxiety & Stress
Stress is a natural response that protects your mind and body. But too much can be a very bad thing. These natural remedies for anxiety & stress relief are a great option to ease your mind, and help you feel calm.

I know how bad pharmaceutical drugs are on your mind and body. Because of this, I do my best to find natural alternatives when something is wrong.
Let me show you the best natural alternatives I have found for dealing with unwanted anxiety & stress.

Lavender is a staple in our home because it works so well for sleep, and relieving stress, anxiety and tension.
There are many ways to use lavender, but my favorite way is to roll it on my temples before bed or when I’m stressed.
Lavender seriously helps when I’m stressed.
Another cool thing about Lavender oil is it has been shown to help with post-partum depression in new mothers, with twice weekly aromatherapy sessions.
