Retreat to the inner sanctum of the trees to help nurture the mind, body and soul.
Description
Shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, is the mindful practice of absorbing the calming atmosphere of natural places like the forest. Connecting to nature for relaxation is not new, but the practice of shinrin-yoku originated and was named in Japan in the early 1980s as a process for disconnecting from technology to relax and unwind. Decades of research and recent studies indicate that being immersed in a forest with mindful intention likely has enormous health and wellbeing benefits.
The contemplative practice of forest bathing is the inspiration for this transformative essential oil blend. The Shinrin-Yoku Forest Bathing Blend is formulated with CPTG® essential oils rich in terpenes associated with forest bathing and clinical research indicates diffusing terpenes-rich essential oils promotes a calming environment when slowing down, focusing, and centering. Terpenes are part of a class of important compounds called phytoncides that serve as part of the tree’s defense system. These phytoncides include limonene, α-pinene, and β-pinene, often found in oils known for their comforting, grounding aromas.
