Men’s Heart Health and the Power of Friendship

November is a time to focus on men’s health, especially the heart, which is the centre of both physical well-being and emotional connection. Men’s heart health isn’t just about staying active or eating well – it’s about building strong, supportive friendships that provide the emotional nourishment we all need. Research shows that men with close friendships are more likely to stay heart-healthy, with lower rates of cardiovascular disease.

At Escentia, we believe that self-care goes beyond the physical. Just as much as a workout, a heartfelt chat with a friend can reduce stress and support long-term heart health. So, as we approach the holiday season and the Black Friday frenzy, it’s the perfect time to reflect on how we can care for our hearts.

Men’s Heart Health and the Power of Friendship

Men often face high levels of stress during the festive shopping season. This year, as you prepare for Black Friday, remember to take a step back and care for your heart with some simple lifestyle changes. Whether it’s exercising with a buddy, managing your workload, or simply catching up over a coffee, small moments make a big difference.

Stay Heart-Healthy with Essential Oils

To support your heart health and emotional well-being, we’ve created a grounding essential oil blend that helps ease tension and promotes a calm state of mind – ideal for winding down after a busy day of shopping.

Heart-Healthy Essential Oil Blend:

  • 5 drops Sandalwood
  • 4 drops Clary Sage
  • 3 drops Bergamot

Add the blend to your diffuser, or mix it with a carrier oil for a soothing massage to calm the mind and body. This blend combines the earthy calm of Sandalwood with Clary Sage’s balancing properties, perfect for soothing the heart and mind.

As you move through November, remember to prioritise both your friendships and your health, using natural, nurturing remedies to stay centred. After all, the strongest hearts are those that connect deeply with others.
