Diffuse is the most widely known and commonly used method. The combination of aromatherapy essential oils can be changed according to the different needs of the body and emotions in the morning and night. Use rattan branches, cotton swabs, etc. to absorb essential oils and distribute them. It is a fire-free aromatherapy. It is very safe and environmentally friendly to use, but the distribution range is relatively small, suitable for small spaces. The vine branches can be recycled and put in other storage spaces to drive away odors.

 

2. Aromatherapy spray machine:

There are not many USB aromatherapy sprayers on the market, which are safe and fire-free. Some aromatherapy machines even include a humidification function, which can help moisturize the skin no matter whether the air conditioner is turned on in summer or the dry environment is dry in winter. The aroma diffuser adopts the principle of atomization, so that the aroma can be diffused farther, and it is suitable for larger spaces than the diffuser bottle.
Just add 5-7 drops of compound essential oils and appropriate amount of water (depending on the model specification) to the aromatherapy sprayer each time.

 

3. Hand/foot/body bath:

It is also a kind of enjoyment to come to an aromatherapy bath SPA at home from time to time! It is especially suitable for sis who have rheumatic joint problems, varicose veins and want to get rid of edema in the feet. The heat expands the pores of the skin, absorbs the essence quickly and speeds up the blood circulation of the body, making the effect of essential oils on edema and lymphatic drainage more obvious. Compared with aromatherapy machines and diffusers, essential oils are used less and are durable. If the house does not have a bathtub, it can be replaced by a basin or bucket.

Aromatherapy essential oils cannot be directly dissolved in water. It should be mixed with unscented shower gel, plant base oil or essential oil emulsifier in circles in advance. Only 5-8 drops of essential oils are enough each time, and then add the prepared hot water You can enjoy the fragrant SPA in the middle of the day.

 Three tips to Relax and Reduce Stress in Daily Life

Three tips to Relax and Reduce Stress in Daily Life

People in Hong Kong are busy with work. There are so many deadlines that they will never see an end. Long-term stress is commonplace. When the pressure continues to accumulate but is not dealt with, the psychology will gradually affect the physiology, making our skin worse. In order to take good care of our skin, we must learn to relieve stress!


Tip 1. Abdominal Breathing Regularly Removes Stress from the Body and Mind

When we are in a state of stress and nervousness, our breathing will become short and irregular. Depending on the time, you can take a deep breath slowly through abdominal breathing exercises to relax your mind. Daily practice can also improve your ability to resist stress so that you will be able to withstand huge pressure!


Step:

1) Find a comfortable place to sit down, relax your body as much as possible, and close your eyes.


2) Breathe slowly

Gently put your hands on the navel, and try to breathe slowly through your nose and mouth. When inhaling, count 1, 2, 3 in your heart, as if BB is inhaling and his belly slowly swells up; similarly, when exhaling, count 1, 2, 3 in your heart, and his belly slowly expands at the same time back to the original position.

Do remember that the key point of this process is not how much air you inhale, but how slow you are! The depth of each person's breathing and the required pause time will vary due to their own lung capacity, so we just need to slow down during the process and focus on the activities of our belly.


3) Let the memory fragments emerge

During the process of breathing exercises, various fragments of life may appear in your mind, and some of them may even annoy you. it is okay.


4) Persist in daily practice

Each group of breathing exercises lasts for 5-10 minutes, and doing 2-3 groups a day can improve your ability to resist stress. Even if you suddenly need to face huge pressure, you will be able to withstand it!

Tip 2. Dive into the Music World


Many sis have the habit of listening to songs when they go out on the street. When they feel more and more stressed, they may change the rhythm of the music that contains vocals, drums, fast-paced, sad, or passionate music on the phone. Slow, without vocals, mainly guitar and piano, and even pure music with the sound of running water. Through music, the heartbeat and breathing rate are slowed down, the stress level is lowered, and the nerves are relaxed.


Music Recommendation: "Weightless" by Marconi Union

According to the joint creation of the British orchestra Marconi Union and the audio therapist, it combines guitar, piano, and other electronic elements with the sound of the natural environment. The pure music of just 8 minutes is praised by the British Academy of Sound Therapy as the most effective and relaxing The music can effectively condense the feeling of being in a weightless state, and then calm the nerves, relieve the rapid heartbeat caused by stress, and remove the stress for everyone in a short time.
