Having one of those freak-out days? Reach for the Buddha Nose Bodhi Balm to relieve stress and tension. This calming salve smells like a fresh, woody forest. Massage the blend of beeswax, jojoba, atlas cedarwood, frankincense, juniper berry and ho wood into temples, shoulders, and neck and then take a break to regain your composure, mind, and sense of well-being. The handmade organic products are designed by Amy Galper, an aromatherapist and shiatsu practitioner in New York City, whose line also includes items such as Immune Booster Salve and Spray, Detox and Meditation Bath Salts, and Breathe Easy Chest Salve. The Bodhi Balm ($22) is available at La Creme Beauty in the University District.
