To help you manage your stress more effectively, you simply need to take the time to recover from the stress that has built up in your body. At Aveda, we focus on the power of touch, breath and aroma to help stimulate the body’s natural recovery mechanisms. This is our Stress-Fix ™ aroma, which contains lavender and clary sage and is clinically proven to relieve feelings of stress. Do you enjoy this aroma?” Opening Ritual • Prepare a Stress-Fix ™ aroma spray by mixing 28 drops of Stress-Fix ™ Aroma Blend with 15 ml Personal Blends ™ Pure-Fume Spirit ™ Formula in a spray bottle. • Spray the aroma over the guest’s head, covering the eyes if they are faceup. Guide the guest through the opening ritual. “Focus on taking deep, diaphragmatic breaths. As you inhale, your abdomen expands, and as you exhale, your abdomen contracts. Throughout your experience, as you breathe in the soothing aroma of lavender and clary sage, continue to focus on your breathing, letting your breath be your guide on an exploration of the inner self. Allow your mind to let go of your stresses and settle into your body, noticing the sensations you feel and taking the time to enjoy each and every moment.” Aromatic Steam Towel Ritual Add five drops of Stress-Fix ™ Aroma Blend to a basin of water.
