Celebrating Stress Awareness Month every April recognizes the negative effects of stress. It promotes knowledge and best practices about stress management and mental health. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 has led to nearly 8 out of 10 American adults saying it has been a significant source of stress despite months of adjusting to new social realities. With these numbers, many individuals will likely seek activities and products to help manage stress.

Here at Heritage Store, we provide bestselling products that we believe may help enhance our customers’ physical and spiritual health and support their mental health.

How essential is stress awareness for your well-being? What products do we recommend if you’re looking for a product containing nature-derived ingredients that can help relieve stress? In this article, we'll describe the importance of stress awareness for your health and discuss the products you should consider looking into that may help manage your stress levels.

People may experience stress for numerous reasons and at varying levels. Additionally, individuals have different ways of coping with stress. One of those ways is to use nature-derived products that may help nourish or revitalize a person’s energy.

Even pregnant mothers who feel stressed can consider turning to these products. For example, Heritage Store’s rosewater topical products are safe for use during pregnancy. Online resources like this website also provides helpful motherhood tips to manage stress.

What Products Do We Recommend for Stress Relief?

We formulate our products with essential and nature-derived ingredients only to avoid using unnecessary and harsh content. Some of our bestselling products are the following:

Rosewater Refreshing Facial Mist

This product contains fragrant damask roses sourced from Europe and grown only in Bulgaria, Morocco, and Turkey. Damask rose oil may help hydrate and soothe your skin and refresh your hair.

Studies show that, aside from having a perfuming effect, damask roses may have soothing, refreshing, and relaxant properties.

Rosewater Refresh Facial Mist also contains our signature Vor-Mag water, vortexed and magnetized to mimic water’s journey in nature and help enhance the benefits of aromatherapy.


Aura Smudge

This misting spray is a smokeless alternative to aromatherapy sticks traditionally used to purify an area.

Aura Smudge ingredients include our signature Vor-Mag water and Dalmatian sage for meditation and energy cleansing. You can use this product to mist your home before meditative practice or yoga.


Almond Aura Glow Body & Massage Oil
 

This product has a unique formulation allowing easy absorption into your body. Aura Glow massage oils combine the benefits of vitamin E, almonds, and other softening oils to help make your skin supple and soft.

Meanwhile, vitamin E has antioxidant properties and may enhance moisturization to benefit people with dry, flaky skin.


Aura Glow Eye Cream

This whipped eye gel cream is formulated to help hydrate and illuminate your eye area to obscure dark circles and give your skin a plumper, firmer appearance. Consider using this product to help brighten your eyes if you have dark circles after a stressful night’s sleep.

Aura Glow Eye Cream contains Vor-Mag water, natural mineral pigments, bakuchiol, silk tree extract, and kelp extract.

Bakuchiol appears to stimulate your skin’s collagen-producing receptors and may have the potential to fight skin aging. Collagen accounts for 30% of your body’s protein and is the building block of your skin, muscles, and bones.

Silk tree extract helps reduce dark circles and fine lines on the skin. 


Rose Oil Nourishing Treatment

This product contains a blend of oils that helps smoothen and diminish fine lines while bringing out your skin’s radiant glow. Damask rose oil leaves a soft scent on your skin, while squalane and rosehip seed oil may help create a youthful glow.

Rosehip seed oil or rosehip oil contains fatty acids that may improve signs of aging and moisturize your skin.


Why Is Stress Awareness Important for Your Well-Being?

Stress awareness is about being mindful of the health consequences of stress so you can make the right choices for yourself and your family. If you leave stress unaddressed, it can lead to numerous adverse health conditions like the following:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression

  • Memory problems
  • High blood pressure
  • Heart disease
  • Obesity
  • Stroke
