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… Uplift your spirit.
