A new wearable wellness patch promises to tackle stress with natural ingredients. As Stress Awareness Week is underway, Wales Online’s content editor, Lizzie McAllister, took on the challenge of trying out Hapi Patch’s Calm Vibes Only wearable patch in an effort to combat the winter blues.
In today’s fast-paced world, managing stress can be a daunting task, even with popular methods like meditation, exercise, and journaling. Hapi Patch offers a range of wearable patches designed to promote better sleep, ease hangovers, or even enhance libido. However, McAllister opted for the ‘Calm Vibes Only’ patch during her trial.
The Calm Vibes Only patch is touted to provide natural anxiety relief through a steady release of relaxing ingredients, including Ashwagandha, known for its calming properties. Other components include valerian extract to reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality, passionflower extract for relaxation and insomnia relief, Vitamin B6 to support brain health and mood, and Rhodiola Rosea to combat stress and fatigue.
Each pack of patches costs £12.99 and contains 15 patches, meant to last for over two weeks when worn consecutively. The recommended usage is to wear the patch for 24 hours and then replace it on a different clean skin area.
During her trial, McAllister found the patch to be comfortable to wear, almost forgetting she had it on. While she personally didn’t experience a significant mood or stress improvement, positive reviews from other users commend the stress-reducing effects of the patches.
Some users reported feeling a noticeable reduction in anxiety shortly after applying the patch, incorporating it into their self-care routines. However, not all feedback was as enthusiastic, with some expressing disappointment in the patch’s effects.
While the ‘Calm Vibes Only’ patch may not have provided a significant impact for McAllister, it remains a popular choice for those seeking a natural solution to stress and anxiety. With its blend of natural ingredients and easy application, the wearable patch offers a convenient option for individuals looking to enhance their overall well-being.
As Stress Awareness Week continues, exploring various methods to manage stress and prioritise self-care remains crucial in achieving a balanced and healthy lifestyle. Whether through wearable wellness patches or traditional relaxation techniques, finding what works best for individual needs is key to promoting mental well-being.
