Citrus Stress Relief
In an interview for Prevention magazine, Mayo Clinic doctor Barbra Thomley said that smelling or eating an orange can reduce stress and anxiety up to 70 percent. Isn’t that amazing? If you’ve ever tried essential oils, you’ll know that lavender is usually to go-to for all things anxiety related, but a new study done by Brazilian doctors shows that orange and other citrus scents are just as effective, if not more so. Other citrus scents to try for stress relief include grapefruit, lemon, and lime.
