Take an Essential Bath
There's nothing like a hot bath to help you unwind after a difficult day, and adding bath salts and essential oils can intensify those calming effects. The National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy also suggests these essential oils for relaxation: ylang-ylang, geranium, peppermint, lavender, lemon, sage, chamomile, and rosemary.
Try Meditation
Clearing your mind through meditation is an ancient spiritual tradition, but it is also used to treat anxiety, depression, and stress-related and other health problems. There are no rules: You can meditate alone or with a group, using a CD or silence, you can even meditate while walking. Meditation reduces stress by slowing your heart rate, balancing your blood pressure, and increasing deep breathing.
