BACKGROUND

With the development of society, people's living standards are constantly improving, but the problems of life that come with it are becoming more and more obvious. The high-speed life rhythm and economic growth not only bring us opportunities, but also bring some effects on our psychology. While enjoying the prosperity of material life, people have also suffered more psychological pressure than ever before. The ubiquitous competition, the lack of emotional communication, the frustration of business and love, the variability of the living environment, the poor social interaction, and the imbalance of economic income all may cause modern people to fall into anxiety and pessimism. At present, nearly 70% of people in China are in a sub-health state, especially those with high work and life pressures and low immunity, whose health is greatly threatened by potential.


Long-term tension and high pressure will cause the human body to be in a state of chronic stress, leading to persistent psychological tension, insomnia and overwork, further leading to imbalance in diet, thereby disturbing the rhythm of life, gradually deteriorating physical and mental state, and making the body immune surveillance function reduced, immunity reduced, and ultimately cause human disease. Modern medical research has fully proved that low immunity is the source of all diseases and improving immunity to prevent and cure various diseases is the most fundamental way of health. Therefore, it is especially important to relieve stress and improve self-immunity in a timely manner, traditional methods such as chatting with friends, going out for a picnic, and exercising are good choices. To a certain extent, the inhalation of functional substances to relieve stress and enhance human immunity has become one of the indispensable ways for the contemporary social population. Therefore, it is essential to develop a functional substance that can meet people's needs to relieve stress and enhance immunity with high safe performance, overall conditioning, and low-cost.
