Shinrin Yoku Blend #1 – The Essence of Forest Bathing
Bring the atmosphere of a Japanese forest into your home with our signature Shinrin Yoku Blend #1.
Inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku – often translated as ‘Forest Bathing’ – this carefully crafted blend combines therapeutic-grade Hinoki Cypress and Yuzu essential oils to create an aroma that is both deeply grounding and gently uplifting. The practice of Shinrin-yoku was developed in Japan as a way of reconnecting with the natural world through mindful immersion in the sights, sounds, scents, and atmosphere of the forest. Research has shown that time spent in woodland environments can help reduce stress, support wellbeing, and foster a greater sense of calm and connection.
The rich, woody fragrance of sacred Hinoki Cypress evokes ancient temple forests and mountain woodlands. Revered in Japan for centuries, Hinoki is associated with peace, harmony, and quiet reflection. Its warm forest aroma is beautifully balanced by the bright, fresh notes of Yuzu, a traditional Japanese citrus fruit valued for its refreshing and revitalising scent. Together they create a fragrance that captures the feeling of walking slowly through a sunlit woodland after rain.
Many people use this blend during meditation, journalling, yoga, relaxation, or simply as part of a daily ritual to bring a sense of nature indoors. A few drops in a diffuser can transform a room, helping to create a peaceful atmosphere that encourages you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself and the natural world.
Our Shinrin Yoku Blend #1 is supplied in a generous 30ml dropper bottle and contains therapeutic-grade Hinoki Cypress and Yuzu essential oils. The Hinoki oil is distilled from sustainably sourced by-products of the timber industry, making use of wood remnants and shavings that would otherwise go to waste.
