Forest Bathing ~ When you can’t get out there, bring Nature home. Immerse your senses in the rain-drenched, moss clad forests of the Pacific Northwest where trees form a soothing green canopy.
Forest Bathing, in Japanese, shinrin-yoku is the ritual of connecting with nature and surrounding ourselves with the energy of the natural world to enhance well-being, reduce stress and restore calm.
Angelina developed this intoxicating aroma over the course of more than fifteen years. Obsessed with the idea of a scent that's deeply reminiscent of meditating in a fairy grove of ferns, moss and evergreens just after a cleansing rain. The essential oils we use in this spiritually uplifting aromatic blend are steam distilled by experts deep in the forest, using fresh leaves and boughs and mosses. Woods are first dried to concentrate the aromatic oils before steam distillation. We bring you the culmination of the wisdom of many souls, both botanical and human in these humble offerings.
Have you heard of phytoncides? Phytoncides (it's kind of difficult to pronounce, isn't it?) are volatile aromatic chemicals created and given off by evergreen trees that act as part of the trees' immune system. When humans breathe phytoncides in, they can produce many benefits inside the body. Some of the responses discovered by science include:
- Immune response: a 2-hour walk in the forest increases NK cell activity that can last for days
- Anti-inflammatory: common forest terpenes temper inflammation and reduce oxidative stress
- Nervous system: forest air creates a relaxation response and lowers nervous system activity
- Mood enhancing: exposure to forest air reduces cortisol levels and β-pinene has antidepressive properties
- Sleep: phytoncides like α-pinene enhance sleep
- Blood glucose: exposure to VOCs can reduce blood glucose levels
Visiting forests on a relatively regular basis can be a good health-promoting practice, since, by reducing stress levels and boosting immune function, it seems capable of diminishing the incidence of stress-related and lifestyle-induced illnesses. Unfortunately, not everyone can get outside into the forest every day. But the great news is that these beneficial aromatic chemicals withstand and are concentrated during steam distillation. We can benefit from inhaling the aromas from the resulting essential oils. So, every time we use this gorgeous smelling shower gel and lotion, we're receiving many health benefits too!
