The Forest Bath Riteis a tonic bath taken to induce a feeling of vigor and wellbeing. Like walking through a forest, soaking in trees brings uplifting benefits. What makes this different from traditional Japanese Forest Bathing is that we rarely lie horizontally on the forest floor to look up at the trees and feel the warmth of the sun. As you soak, imagine yourself looking up and feeling the power and embrace of the trees.
NOTE: Be generous with yourself and the amount of products you apply over the body.
Additional items needed: Cool water with dry juniper berries, Rolled wash clothes, Bowl of ice, cool water with sprig of mint
Prepare the Forest Bath Rite
Water temperature should be between 99 F and 112 F
A dry brush shower happens before showering. Before stepping into the shower stand on a towel or washable bath mat to apply Ohana Gingergrass Bamboo Scrub. This scrub is all you need to completely recover skin smoothness. With just a generous amount of scrub in hands, rub palms together quickly and see the texture of the scrub transform. Apply with an invigorating touch in sweeping motions toward the heart, removing dry dead skin, energizing the body and blood flow to firm and tighten skin. Let dry for a few moments and with dry washcloth (or mitt or body brush) remove scrub from skin in quick repetitive sweeping motions.
Cellular turnover happens internally and externally, really getting into the instant changes resulting from the quick energizing motions and benefits of ingredients positively impacting skin appearance. It is nice to know that your efforts are lasting - by stimulating circulation and blood flow the system is activated and continues to look and feel better long after the immediate boost of the treatment. (neatly fold up floor towel with the brushed off scrub and shake off in shower for minimal post-treatment clean up.)
Enter hot mineral-infused water from a sitting position - this is the way to go. Sit at a ledge with feet on a towel and then turn the body from a sitting position into a bath - toddlers to timeless. Once fully immersed in water apply active organic forest milk purifier in invigorated circular motions.
The combination of detoxifying moroccan mint silt purifier and oat-derived lactic acid rich active organic forest milk purifier is ideal to balance skin and gently remove dead skin cells and promote cellular turnover. Deeply hydrating, antibacterial and skin softening the soothing and cleansing effects leave skin feeling healed.
Close eyes, head back, place cool towel on top of head to reduce overheating and feel the body totally relax. As you soak, enjoy absorbing essential minerals likesodium, calcium, zinc, magnesium and potassiumessential to healthy sleep, a healthier heart.
Mist Ionizing Vita Flower Mist over face and hair to improve skin tone and infuse air with the positive power of negative ions, also improves contrast therapy benefits and gives skin a total refreshing glow.
Before water begins to cool, lift the whole body to the ledge of the bath and while sitting, step from bath to towel.
The body will immediately cool but the heart energy and body temperature are warmed so a flush of contrast therapy takes further effect doing wonders to reduce pain, stress and insomnia. While skin is still damp, quick apply flowers hold life aromatherapeutic body oil in circular motions from toes toward heart. Pat skin dry and wrap in a warm towel.
