Nature has provided a healthy solution for stress and stamina.
Here are a few great sniffs:
Peppermint: Inhaling the vapor from peppermint tea or oil reduces congestion. Add a few drops to a cotton ball and put it near an air vent and it will reduce fatigue.The scent of peppermint causes your capillaries to constrict and dilate and sends a rush of blood and oxygen through the body.
Vanilla: Sniffing vanilla beans or burning a vanilla scented candle can calm you down because it increases serotonin levels in the brain. It can leave you with a delicious feeling of security. Some find it addictive.
Lavender: Widely used for soothing and relaxing as lavender contains linalool,which helps block the stress response. Lavender has also been used to treat hyperactivity and insomnia. Just light a lavender candle, sniff some in a bowl or use some lavender oil in an infusor and feel your pain diminish.
