The olfactory signature of Amakos da Amazônia is the Forest Bath, made with 100% natural essential oils and containing in its composition the Amazonian essential oils of Breu Branco (White Resin) and Copaiba, extracted and produced by cooperatives from the Uatumã forest reserve in the Amazon.
The aromatic profile is green, fresh, spicy, and woody.
Can be used at the sink for handwashing or in the shower for the body.
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 factors dispersed in the air of the tropical rainforest, 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, a hike in the woods, an immersion in nature, a bath of forest air.
Restorative… certainly, but much more than we imagined.
For over a decade, scientists have discovered that the inhalation of essential oils emitted by tropical trees is the main factor responsible for the effects of "forest bathing." In 1928, Dr. Boris P. Tokin coined the term "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 that which occurs in meditative practices. The body reduces cortisol levels, activates the parasympathetic nervous system, and stimulates the emotional and physiological response of relaxation linked to an improved immune response.
Amakos da Amazônia, through its Forest Bath – Phytoncides Liquid Soap, brings the forest air and its benefits into your home.
Key Ingredients
MAIN NATURAL AMAZONIAN INGREDIENT
Breu Branco Essential Oil
Breu Branco (Protium heptaphyllum), also known as Brazilian frankincense, is a tree in the Burseraceae family found in the Amazon region and the Cerrado, which produces an oily resin also known as waxy white resin.
It is a resin widely used by the indigenous people of the Amazon for smudging and inhalation to treat respiratory diseases and for sacred rituals. It is a highly stimulating oil that strengthens the immune system.
Its aroma awakens spirituality, facilitates reconnection with oneself, and aids in meditation. Furthermore, the fragrance of Breu balances the 6th chakra (Ajna) and acts as a broad-spectrum energy purifier, eliminating miasmas and negative energies.
MAIN SUPERBOTANICAL INGREDIENT
COPAIBA OIL RESIN – Copaifera species
The oil resin is extracted from Copaiba trees by communities of the Agro-extractive Association of the Uatumã Sustainable Development Reserve (RDS), located in the State of Amazonas in the municipalities of São Sebastião do Uatumã and Itapiranga. Copaiba is popularly known as the "antibiotic of the forest" and as a medicinal oil par excellence.
The action of copaiba is anti-inflammatory, healing, and antiseptic, in addition to regenerating skin tissues. It is composed of a rich combination of diterpenes and triterpenes (the main active ingredients of the Copaifera genus), with the main compound being Copalic Acid, which strengthens the immune system and reduces chronic stress, in addition to improving skin health and the respiratory and musculoskeletal systems.
