Morphology
The meaning 'a technique to produce calm' is directly derivable from combining 'relaxation' (the process of becoming less tense) with 'method' (a procedure), so the phrase compositionally denotes a procedure for relaxation. This noun+method pattern is regular and cross-linguistically common, meaning a B1 learner who knows both constituent words will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Relaxation method pairs relaxation (making something less tight) with method (a way of working). Imagine a tight knot you loosen bit by bit — the technique starts with a rough 'guess' and reduces the 'error' step by step until the solution settles.
