Benefits
Known as shinrin-yoku in Japan, forest bathing is the practice of slowing down and immersing yourself in nature through the senses—sight, sound, scent, and touch. While originally experienced in wild forests, the principles of forest bathing can be brought into the home through intentional rituals, calming environments, and plant-based aromatics.
The aroma of Japanese hinoki cypress and Siberian fir can help create space for pause—inviting you to breathe deeper, slow your pace, and return to the present moment. When combined with warm water and magnesium, this practice becomes a simple, restorative tool in your self-care routine.
Sourced from concentrated seawater deposits found approximately 2 miles beneath the earth’s surface in the ancient Zechstein seabed, our pure magnesium chloride offers superior absorption and potency compared to other forms of magnesium.
