Loves Park, IL (PRWEB) November 27, 2007
According to the American Psychological Association's annual Stress in America 2007 report "One-third of Americans are living with extreme stress and nearly half of Americans (48 percent) believe that their stress has increased over the past five years. Stress is taking a toll on people --- contributing to health problems, poor relationships and lost productivity at work." Often, people feel even more stressed during the holiday season.
Based on this research, Purely Shea (http://www. purelyshea. com), has announced the release of Purely Shea Lavender Shea Butter which is skin care infused with 100% pure, therapeutic-grade, certified organic, lavender aromatherapy oil to help relieve holiday stress.
Why Lavender Aromatherapy?
"For many years, lavender aromatherapy has been associated with a calming effect and the ability to relieve stress and anxiety," stated Dr. Robyn Tisdale Scott., a clinical pharmacist and developer of Purely Shea. "Now, it is a proven fact and several research studies have provided the clinical information we needed to move forward with integrating lavender aromatherapy into our shea butter skin care."
Here are some studies conducted as recent as 2007 & 2005 which prove the ability of Lavender Aromatherapy to relax and relieve stress:
1. International Journal of Cardiology -- August 2007
In this study, Lavender aromatherapy decreased the major stress hormone called cortisol and improved blood flow in the body. These findings suggest that lavender aromatherapy has relaxation effects and may have beneficial effects on coronary circulation.
2. International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry -- May 2007
This particular study demonstrated that lavender was effective as an adjunctive therapy in calming and relaxing the behavior of patients with dementia.
3. The International Journal of Neuroscience --February 2005
Finally, this research study actually used aromatherapy skin care, a lavender cleansing gel, as its focus. This lavender cleansing gel had a significant effect of improving mood, making people feel more relaxed, and even improved the ability to perform math computation faster.
There are numerous products that promise to relieve stress but few are backed by modern clinical research and scientific studies like Lavender Aromatherapy. To ensure the best therapeutic effects, Purely Shea (http://www. purelyshea. com) is one of the only skin care companies to use 100 % pure, undiluted, and USDA certified organic lavender essential oil in its Lavender Shea Butter. This therapeutic-grade, high-quality essential ensures safe and effective aromatherapy benefits.
