Natural Ways to Reduce Body Tension and Stress?

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some advice on effectively lowering cortisol levels and reducing tension in my body. I've been feeling pretty stressed lately with work and could use some natural remedies that actually work. I'm not just looking for generic advice like "get more sleep" or "don't be stressed" - I need some concrete techniques or supplements that have helped others. Has anyone found anything particularly effective? I'm open to dietary changes, exercises, meditation practices, or anything else that's made a real difference. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Try progressive muscle relaxation and deep breathing exercises. Adaptogens like ashwagandha can help manage cortisol levels. Regular yoga or tai chi practice can reduce tension. Limit caffeine intake and incorporate more magnesium-rich foods into your diet. A daily mindfulness meditation routine can also work wonders.

I swear by yoga and deep breathing exercises. They've done wonders for my stress levels. Also, try chamomile tea and magnesium supplements before bed. For quick relief during the day, I use lavender essential oil on my wrists and temples.
