FOREST BATH PHYTONCIDES
ROOM FRAGRANCE 100ml
Amakos da Amazônia's signature scent is Forest Bath, made with 100% natural essential oils and containing in its composition Amazonian essential oils of Breu Branco and Copaiba, extracted and produced by cooperatives from the Uatumã forest reserve – Amazonas.
The aromatic profile is green, fresh, spicy, and woody.
Forest Bath – Phytoncides is rich in alpha-pinene, d-limonene, d-3-carene, and dozens of other active components found in forest air. It is a blend of essential oils with the same relief dispersed in the air of the humid tropical forest; in addition to improving immune response and balancing emotional response (anti-stress and anxiolytic), it also has an antioxidant effect that mitigates oxidative changes (which cause premature aging).
The purpose of this aroma is to transport people to a walk in the forest, hiking in the woods, immersion in nature, a bath of forest air. Restorative… certainly, but much more than one imagines!
Over a decade ago, scientists discovered that inhaling the essential oils emitted by tropical trees are the main factors responsible for the effects of "forest bathing." In 1928, Dr. Boris P. Tokin named these substances "phytoncides" to define the active substances released by plants that exert antimicrobial and immunological action.
During the inhalation of natural volatile compounds emitted by plants and trees, the human brain responds in a way very similar to what occurs during meditative practices. The body reduces cortisol levels, activates the parasympathetic nervous system, and stimulates the emotional and physiological relaxation response linked to improved immune response.
A major breakthrough regarding the beneficial effects of phytoncides was achieved by extensive research in Japan, which proved that the same immunity-restoring and anti-stress effects felt by those who spend days in the forest, inhaling phytoncides directly from the forest air, can be achieved by inhaling certain essential oils; even better, the positive effect of inhalation for 3 consecutive nights persisted for up to 7 days after, allowing for a prolonged response of immune and emotional balance.
Amakos da Amazônia, through its Forest Bath Phytoncides air freshener, brings the forest air and its benefits into your home.

It is a resin highly used by traditional Amazonian peoples to alleviate symptoms of respiratory diseases and in sacred rituals. It is a highly stimulating oil that strengthens the respiratory system and spirituality, facilitating reconnection with oneself and meditation; furthermore, the breu fragrance balances the 6th chakra (ajna) and acts as a potent opener of the psychic spectrum, eliminating miasmas and negative energies.
