Aromatherapy and Breath for Anxiety, Depression and Stress
Today I am going to show you something super simple you can do anywhere to help you with anxiety, depression and stress. I received a question on stress, anxiety and depression from Manjit in the UK:
Hi Dr Melissa West, hope you’re are well, needed your advice to help my sister who suffers with quite bad anxiety, stress and depression. She’s been to a Homeopathic doctor but nothing seems to help her. I’m getting quite concerned with her health and I do urgently need your help and advice. I would sincerely appreciate your time and efforts to let me know how and what to do to help her cope a better life. I thank you and await for your reply. Take care god bless you. Manjit (U.K.)
Today I am going to recommend alternate nostril breathing or nadi shodhana. This breath practice is calms and rejuvenates your nervous system. It relieves stress and anxiety. It is an incredibly balancing breath, in other words, it balances the solar and lunar channels of your body. Your left nostril represents your lunar and calming channel and your right nostril represents your solar and uplifting channel. So by balancing the two it is a good breath for anxiety, depression and stress.

You can experience the benefits of practicing alternate nostril breathing in as few as five minutes. However for long lasting benefits I would recommend practicing alternate nostril breathing for 10-15 minutes a day.
