Take A Detox Bath

Essential oils are an excellent way for individuals to lower their body's levels of cortisol, the stress hormone. Elevated levels of cortisol, beyond stress, may lead to frequent infections or colds, anxiety, hormone imbalance, an inability to lose weight, thyroid problems, and irritable bowel syndrome. Those looking to try using essential oils to help with their stress should try drawing a hot bath and adding one cup of Epsom salt and a few drops of essential oil into the water.
