We live in a seriously stressful world. If we're not frustrated by traffic, we're angered by rain, or find the variety of emails we get perplexing and disturbing. There's never enough to me to just sit back and take a deep breath, but Origins have a product that allow you some temporary relief from everyday pressures. It's called peace of Mind and is packaged in a small innocuous looking bottle, with a light mint coloured tinge to it.
The idea is that you dab a two small applications of the light cream behind pressure points such as the earlobe and temples at moments of extreme stress, and it will help calm you down. I was pretty dubious about this, and then I tried it...
It's lightly scented with mint and has an immediate cooling sensation when placed on the skin. I started to feel a light tingling immediately, and though it didn't vanish my headache, it certainly made it recede.
My little bottle now has a permanent space on my desk, and amazingly I'm still on bottle number one after six months of use- because you need to use so little. This is one item I always recommend to my friends, and though I'm not quite sure why it works, I'll happily attest that it does.
