Description
When you can’t get to the forest, bring the forest home, any time of year — Forest Bathing blend Les is fresh and clean like the forest air after the rain.
Inspired by the concept of “Shinrin-yoku” which was developed in the 1980s in Japan. Although people had been taking walks in the country’s forests for centuries, Shinrin-Yoku is a Japanese ritual that translates as “forest bathing”. It has been shown to lower heart rate, reduce stress, boost the immune system, improve concentration and memory, and improve overall wellbeing. A chemical released by trees and plants, called phytoncides, was found to boost the immune system. Essential oils can provide forest therapy for us at home, every day, all year long. Research has shown that using the essences of trees in the form of essential oils will give you the positive benefits of the forest, just more short lived.
Rejuvenating blend Selva — Jungle Mist is a natural air freshener. Contains pure essential oils of precious old growth rainforest trees, and exotic plants and flowers. As inspiring and lively as a walk in the vibrant, sun-drenched rainforest, under a lush green canopy with an undergrowth of blooming flowers, breathing in the fresh tropical forest air. This aroma conjures up the magic and awe of first entering the unexplored rainforest, admiring its vivid variety of colour and plantlife. Refreshing and invigorating, like standing in the mist of a wild waterfall hearing the sound of water pounding on the rocks. Selva lets you forget all your problems, lose yourself in the beauty of nature, and reconnect to your instincts, your wild side, and to the moist, vivid Pachamama — pulsing with life.
This set allows you to enjoy the scent of a forest in higher intensity and prolong the experience. Forest Mist quickly refreshes the air in the room and the essential oil blend in diffuser or aroma lamp keeps the scent going for much longer.
