FOREST BATHING

In our hectic world, many people long for a place of peace and relaxation. This is exactly where the concept of forest bathing comes into play. “Shinrin Yoku”, as it is called in Japan, means “immersion in the forest atmosphere” and has gained popularity worldwide in recent years. But what makes the forest so special for our well-being, and how can the dōtERRA Shinrin Yoku blend support this experience?

The science behind forest bathing

Scientific studies show that spending time in the forest has been proven to lower blood pressure, reduce stress hormones and strengthen the immune system. But why do forests have such a powerful effect on us? One reason is the so-called terpenes – biochemical compounds that are released by trees and plants. These molecules have a calming effect on our nervous system and can even increase the production of so-called “killer cells” in the immune system, which protect us from illness.

In addition to terpenes, phytoncides also play an important role. These essential compounds, which are released by trees such as pines, cedars and spruces, have a strong relaxing effect and can help to alleviate anxiety and depressive moods. So it’s no wonder that a walk in the forest is often perceived as healing.

The dōtERRA blend Shinrin Yoku – forest atmosphere for the home

The nature-inspired dōtERRA Shinrin Yoku blend brings the calming power of the forest right into your home. This oil blend combines essential oils of cedarwood, black spruce, Siberian fir and other tree species rich in terpenes and phytoncides. It can help:
