"We speculate that aromatic volatile substances from trees including monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes called phytoncides, such as alpha-pinene and limonene may play an important role. Bottled forest only provide approximately 50% of effect compared to mother nature. Get out to nature to benefit 100%."

The Art and Science of Forest Bathing

Making your bottled Forest

Bottling your forest you will need minimum 3 essential oils & blend them together. You will need to purchase some equipments to do this.

Tools:

1. Glass bottles. Make sure they are either brown, blue or brown. Do not use clear glass as exposure to sunlight will damange your blend fairly quickly.

2. Ultra sonic diffuser if you don't already have one. There are quite a wide variety out there. My favorite are Muji's diffuser inexpensive, effective and last for a long time. Mine is over 5 years old.

3. Essential oils that are classified as alpha-pinene & limonene.
