A FOCUS ON: FOREST BATHING

Good for both physical and mental wellbeing. It is proven to reduce stress hormone production, improve feelings of happiness and free up creativity, as well as lowering heart rate and blood pressure, boosting the immune system and accelerating recovery from illness.

Many studies have shown meaningful physiological effects of forest atmosphere on people. These effects are believed to be achieved by inhaling the forest atmosphere, which includes various phytochemicals produced by plants and trees.

The major components of the forest atmosphere are terpenes.

Terpenes such as α-pinene, β-pinene, camphor, camphene, sabinene, limonene, menthol, cymene, and myrcene are found in abundance throughout the forest, whilst also being found in our beloved cannabis plant. Different terpenes affect the body differently. Some have a more energetic or uplifting effect and some are more relaxing or sedating.

Did you know that the effects of a broad spectrum CBD oil like ours, which include natural terpenes - can have a greater effect on the body and mind compared to an isolated/pure CBD oil? This is what’s know as “The Entourage Effect” and why it’s important to know and understand that cannabis is more than just CBD.
