Shinrin-Yoku ∆ Botanical Soaking Salts
∆ Forest Bathing ∆
The Japanese have a word for this — Shinrin-Yoku, which literally translates to forest bath, or bathing in the forest atmosphere, taking in the forest through our senses.
This powerful natural therapy can help sooth anxious minds, calm restless bodies, and be an overall mental health support.
A study by Yoshifumi Miyazaki from the University of Chiba School concluded that “stressful states can be relieved by forest therapy”.
If you can’t get out into the forest for some nature therapy, bring the forest to you.

Shinrin-yoku is made of high quality epsom salt, pink Himalayan sea salt, white pine and white fir. This combination is pure magic when mixed with the hot bath water.
The essence of the trees rises up with the steam traveling to your olfactory sensory neurons sending a signal directly to your brain. Your bath tub will be transformed as your senses take you deep into a fragrant evergreen forest.

The Epsom salts will give your body much needed magnesium, the pink Himalayan sea salt will create the type of calming effect many people experience when soaking in ocean saltwater while reducing fatigue.
White pine is a warming circulatory stimulant, which helps with general aches and pains.
White fir has chemical constituents that are believed to have anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, expectorant and sedative effects. Historically fir has been known to benefit the body by soothing overworked muscles, reducing cortisol levels, supporting the respiratory system, reducing pain, all while balancing and grounding the mind.
Soaking for at least 20 minutes in herbal bath soaks is such a meditative way to reset after a long day, long week, stressful situation, or if you just want to feel like you’ve been hugged by the forest.
