HINOKI
What It Is:
The Hinoki tree, only found in Japan, has been considered sacred for centuries for its durable wood and fragrant oils. The tree's wood has been used to build palaces, temples, and baths in Japan, and its oil has wellness benefits.
What It’s For:
For centuries, the Japanese have looked to the rhythm of nature for healing, growth, and well-being. With its earthy scent, Hinoki oil can mimic the experience of visiting a luxury bathhouse in Japan. The tree's aroma has long held the answers to balance, harmony, peace of mind, and relaxation while "forest bathing" or soaking in onsen pools, Japan's geothermal hot springs. It has also been receiving attention for its capacity for therapeutic power and stress reduction, which is why it is often infused into Japanese wellness products.
What It Does:
Hinoki is known to promote stress relief and relaxation. A mix of the familiar, woody aroma of evergreen trees and a bright burst of citrus fruits, Hinoki oil is very soothing. It is known to promote a sense of calm, peace, and tranquility and can release body and muscle tension and stress.
