Is life feeling a little too hectic at the moment? In honour of National Relaxation Day on the 15th of August, we encourage you to slow down and unwind, taking a well-deserved moment to relax.

This relaxing essential will be particularly effective for those of you that suffer from aches and pains.

Sleep-inducing Scents

Using scented candles, not only on National Relaxation Day, but any other time as well, you’ll benefit from stimulating your sense of smell with sleep-inducing scents.

In terms of aromatherapy, it’s crucial to choose the right scent for you as some aromas have the ability to energise whilst at the same time can be soothing for others.
