Easy Ways to Relieve Stress

Prolonged stress causes our adrenal glands to produce excess cortisol. Research shows that cortisol negatively impacts not only our immune system, making us more prone to colds and infection, but also influences insomnia, fatigue, depression, muscle pain and even cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Consider these therapeutic rituals to bring your body back into balance.

Ease back against the porcelain embrace of the tub and let the steaming water restore your body. Our energizing Sweet Birch Magnesium Bath Flakes offer 50% more Magnesium than Epsom Salts and help to ease symptoms of muscle pain and fatigue. Fill tub with hot water (100–110°) and add 1 oz. of bath flakes. Soak for 5–10 minutes, towel dry and let the body rest to obtain the benefits of hydrotherapy.

Peppermint is prized by herbalists for its restorative ability to energize the senses, ease nervous tension and relax sore muscles. Apply a dime size amount of Mighty Mint Rescue Cream to temples to soothe tension headaches or massage into lower leg and feet to stimulate circulation and relax the whole body.
