Relaxation has numerous health benefits, most obviously helping you to cope with the stresses and strains of everyday life. Stress, in particular, can play havoc with your overall wellbeing, causing physical symptoms like headaches, disrupting your sleep, lowering cognitive function, and exacerbating mood disorders. Relaxation will help you to manage your stress levels, lowering your heart rate, relieving tension and increasing blood flow to give you more energy.

At healf, we have chosen a variety of products that can help aid with relaxation. Our selection of relaxation products includes everything from sleep aid devices to boost your mood and acupressure mats that balance your energy flow by working to apply pressure to points on your body, to therapeutic candles, yoga mats and organically-grown herbal teas to give you a sense of calm. Treat yourself to our range of relaxing products or choose one as a gift.

Many supplements are specially designed to support relaxation, promote resistance to stress and nourish your body. Look out for tried-and-tested relaxation supplements containing calming chamomile, plants like lemon balm extract, ayurvedic herbs like Ashwagandha, medicinal mushrooms like reishi and essential minerals like magnesium. You may find that liquid supplements help with relaxation more than vitamin capsules, due to being absorbed into your body more efficiently.
