Stress reduction refers to techniques and practices that help individuals manage their levels of stress, thereby reducing its negative impact on their physical and mental well-being. It involves finding ways to calm the mind and body, relax muscles, and decrease anxiety through various methods such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, yoga, exercise, massage therapy or other forms of touch therapy, music therapy, aromatherapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. The goal is to create an environment that promotes relaxation, reduces tension, and helps individuals feel more calm and in control, thereby reducing the negative effects of stress on their health and well-being.
