Celebrate end of week with relaxation

This week is almost history! ‘Short’ weeks sometimes can be more packed and intense then regular weeks. It is important to reflect and unwind. To celebrate the successes and review the opportunities.

Time to just simply unwind and regenerate before the weekend.

For this #ibs lady, favourite go to for relaxation is lavender, with deep breathing exercises and sometimes a soothing bath.

It not just me who understands the benefits of lavender but so does #drlin of the #clevelandclinic

Did you know:
The benefits of lavender
Traditional herbal textbooks and research studies alike confirm lavender’s role as a health jack-of-all-trades. That’s because the plant’s parts contain different chemical compounds that positively affect your body.

“These compounds include flavonoids, which are also found in vegetables and fruits, and coumarin. Both have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions,” explains Dr. Lin. “Lavender essential oil is just as powerful and contains important compounds such as linalool. Linalool has been shown to reduce anxiety and blood pressure.
Supports sleep: Some studies suggest lavender can improve your body’s melatonin levels, supporting a better night’s rest.
Helps with mood, anxiety and depression: “Lavender is known for its ability to calm the nervous system, lift the mood and even lower blood pressure,” says Dr. Lin. “Research links lavender usage to less anxiety and depression.”

Taking time to unwind has huge positive effects on your #guthealth and #ibs.
