The Japanese practice of Shinrin yoku (literally translated to ‘forest bathing’) emphasises on a key ingredient in nature - phytoncides.

These natural and volatile plant chemicals are produced by plants. Through Science research, scientists discovered that phytoncides help to:

1. lower stress hormones / stress levels

2. improve immune system / immunity

3. lower blood pressure

4. improve sleep, amongst many other health benefits.

This Forest Bathing Pure Essential Oil is made from a proprietary formula of phytoncides (Phyton-α) distilled from the leaves, bark and flowers of more than 30 trees. It is 100% natural, with no additives.

Diffusing the Forest Bathing Pure Essential Oil at home provides a sensorial and restful experience. It is a ‘walk in the forest’, ‘bathing’ and soaking in the phytoncides, in the comfort of your home.

How to Use
Suitable for using with a diffuser or for topical application in small and diluted doses. This pure essential oil is pretty strong - one drop goes a long way. Test for skin sensitivity before using topically. Dilution with a carrier oil such as Virgin Coconut Oil is recommended. Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membrane and genitals. Not recommended for use on infants and very small children.
