Relax, refresh, recharge: products to help you unwind

You might know Miaroma for their aromatherapy and home scents range. Exciting news: they do bath products, too. Swirl a few drops of this oil into your bath water and enjoy scents of vibrant tangerine, soothing lavender and warming patchouli. Then... switch the world off for half an hour. We hate to say it but a true self-care bath likely means putting your phone out of reach. Scrolling until the water’s lukewarm and the bubbles have shrunk – we’ve all been there and it doesn’t scream ‘wellbeing’. Or if physical touch is your love language, it doubles as a body oil for giving (or receiving) a dreamy massage that’ll relax your body as well as your mind. Warm the oil between your palms and gently massage into the skin.

Self-care doesn’t just have to be at home. In fact, you probably need it most of all when you’re out and about. Enter this lavender massage and body oil from Tisserand. With its convenient spray nozzle, it’s a gem to keep in your bag and spritz onto your pulse points when things get a little overwhelming. Crowded train? Take a deep breath – you’ve got this. It also has notes of zesty bergamot and spicy patchouli, meaning it’s got more to offer than your standard lavender oil.

Fun fact: ashwagandha's name means ‘smells of horses’. Maybe you’re not sold yet but wait until you hear more… For those exploring ways to support emotional balance or relaxation, ashwagandha supplements have become increasingly popular. It’s worth keeping in mind though, that research is still evolving and health claims are currently limited.^1,2 Used for centuries, it’s now a trendy ingredient, appearing in soft drinks, coffee and even our own night-time Manuka honey. But we’ve settled for the classic here – all you need to do is take one capsule a day with food.

Our supplement is built with the gut-brain axis in mind. Packed with pre-, pro- and postbiotics, it has six scientifically studied strains of friendly bacteria, including Lactobacillus plantarum. The blend also contains ashwagandha³ – an adaptogen that some experts think could support mental relaxation and contribute to general wellbeing. Take two capsules daily with a meal to help support your gut over time. It's ideal for anyone looking for a more holistic way to manage daily life.
