Way 11: Aromatherapy

Essential oils affect hormone secretion and your thoughts. For inner calm, choose chamomile, pine, lavender or marjoram.

Way 12 : Green Day

Exposing yourself to a natural environment is perfect for inducing calm. No time to get out of the city? Then potter around in the garden. No garden? Then tend to your houseplants. It’s the interaction with nature that is the key.

Way 14 : Tea Break

Shun the stimulus of high doses of caffeine and try a chamomile flower brew instead, believed by many herbalists to help generate inner calm.
