There are many ways to relieve stress naturally. Take a deep breath and go for a walk in the great outdoors, try a calming yoga pose, write in a journal, listen to relaxing music, meditate, laugh with friends or family, treat yourself to a warm bath, light some aromatherapy candles and try herbal supplements specifically designed to help with anxiety.

Some supplements may help to reduce symptoms of stress and anxiety, especially if taken alongside making wider lifestyle changes, as they contain ingredients that are commonly known to support relaxation. Nutrients like ashwagandha and valerian root have been used for centuries due to the calming effect they have, vitamins play a role in mood stability and magnesium suppresses the release of the stress hormones.

Aside from supplements, other products like acupressure mats also have stress relief benefits, particularly in terms of reducing the physical symptoms of stress. Designed to apply pressure to specific points on the body, acupressure mats help with stress and anxiety by targeting specific points on the body to release endorphins, stimulate blood flow and improve circulation.
