Whether you’re gluten-free or not, tax time is stressful for
everyone! If you've got Celiac disease, some of the stress can be eased by the
fact that you may be able to receive a tax deduction for all of
those gluten-free expenses. For those of us with gluten allergies or adhering
to g-free diets however, we've got to take some of the more traditional
approaches to stress relief. As with most things, there are a few precautions
we must take before unwinding.
G-free Massage Oil
One of the common cures for both physical and mental stress
is a relaxing massage. Most massage therapists use some kind of oil or lotion;
be sure to ask if you can check the ingredients, as some may contain traces of
wheat. Whenever I get a massage, I just bring along my own g-free oil, but you
could always opt for plain coconut oil – it smells great and is good for your
skin!
G-free Bubble Bath
Another age-old method of relieving stress is to melt it
away in a decedent bubble bath. If your bubble bath contains any trace of
gluten however, decadence can quickly become disaster! There are plenty of
g-free bubble baths out there, but another great option is a few drops of
lavender oil. Pure lavender oil is naturally gluten-free and has been proven to
reduce stress!
G-Free Tea
For some, relaxation can be found in the form of a warm
beverage. Plain black or green teas are usually free of gluten, but several
others contain traces of wheat or may use barley malt as a sweetener. Be sure
to read all tea labels carefully, or make your own herbal tea if you are
feeling adventurous.
While all of these methods are great ways to relax, you can
also take a shortcut: a glass of your favorite Wine - It’s always g-free!
