Exercise is not a dirty word.

It has been proven to reduce stress and help with relaxation. Stress comes in many ways.

According to Harvard mental symptoms of stress range from worry and irritability to restlessness and insomnia, anger and hostility, or sensations of dread, foreboding, and even panic.

Mental stress can result in physical symptoms such as tense muscles, headaches, neck pain, clenched jaw, constant “butterflies” in your stomach, a pounding pulse and in extreme cases hyperventilation.

Our emotions and bodies are all connected.

When stressed, your body and mind are caught in a vicious cycle – working very hard to keep you from imminent danger. Your body is not designed to live with long term stress.

You deserve to live well. Your body deserves the gift of calm. Your heart needs peace. Your mind longs for harmony.

Maybe part of the answer lies in an occasional jog / walk / swim. Your body will thank you – eventually.

Use our Revive & Restore body oil range as part of your recovery to help soothe sore muscles and eliminate toxins from your body.

I hope you decide to see exercise as a healthy benefit for your mind and body.
