Akita Cedar Essential Oil

The West found out about it when Japan became one of the most popular tourist destinations in recent years, but forest bathing (shinrin-yoku) has been around in Japan since the early 1980s. And how could it not be since about two-thirds of Japan are covered with forests? You can even find them in Tokyo, if you travel to the west of the city! If you are looking for a way to bring some of the essence of these forests to your home and benefit from their healing properties, the Akita Sugi Essential Oil is the easiest and most effective way to do it!

The most common tree in Japanese forests is the sugi cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) and the Akita Cedar Essential Oil has been collected from fresh sugi leaves from the prefecture, and distilled into a small 5 ml (0.2 fl oz) bottle. A couple of drops from this oil added to your aroma diffuser will fill your space with the aroma of a Japanese forest that takes away your fatigue and relaxes you, thanks to a substance called alpha-pinene found in the sugi leaves. And if you want to feel like you're walking barefoot in that forest, add a few drops to a basin of water and soak your feet in it!
