Caregivers in Palm City FL

- Aromatherapy. Aromatherapy is an extremely popular way to utilize scents as a way to impact your emotions and stress. There are many ways that you can integrate aromatherapy into your caregiver routine as a way to manage your stress. Choose essential oils that you enjoy and that are known for creating calming or relaxation and add them to your bath water, dribble them on your lamp lightbulbs, use them to create homemade air fresheners for your car, or even make them into your own bath products. Some of the most popular options include lavender, chamomile, vanilla, and eucalyptus. If you want an energizing boost that will clear your mint, try peppermint or orange.
- Get a Whiff of an Apple Green apples have been shown to reduce headache pain, for sufferers who enjoy the smell. Green-apple flavored candles, air freshener or hand soap can offer a brief whiff and bring happiness to your day.
- Trigger memories. Memories can be powerful for easing your stress and promoting positive emotions. Choose some of your favorite memories, places, or events, and choose the scents that most closely link you to those memories. Surround yourself with those scents so that when you are dealing with a struggle during your care journey, you can immerse yourself in those memories. For example, if your favorite season is Christmas, have peppermint or cinnamon oils or candles that you can smell. If you love a particular vacation destination, find a smell that reminds you of that vacation and take breaks when you can have little "getaways" in your mind to ease your stress and keep your mental and emotional health high.
