Relax Already: Burn Some Incense
When you feel like you're burning the candle at both ends, you might want to light some incense. Long associated with religious ceremonies and ashrams, researchers at Johns Hopkins University and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem found that incense lowers anxiety and can create antidepressive-like behavior.
Although the study was performed on mice, researchers believe the effects of incense translates to humans and activates the poorly-understood and under-researched ion channels of the brain to alleviate both anxiety and depression.

Recent research suggests that the complicated physiological reactions to stress, including rises in blood pressure, affect your heart health.
