Now, finally, the peaceful, sensual time of year begins. The days are getting shorter and cozier, it's cold and gray outside, and we all long for some warmth and relaxation. How excited we were, because wintertime is shower time! Whether after a long day at work or a day on the ski slopes, what could be more soothing than a hot shower with relaxing, fragrant essential oils? Shower bombs relax, refresh, and revitalize with the power of aromatherapy. Perfectly timed for the season, we've chosen our Spruce shower bomb as our scent of the month.
How do essential oils work?
Essential oils, due to their messenger-like properties, have the power to positively influence our body, senses, and mind. The aromatic molecules also have a balancing effect and simultaneously regulate our emotional well-being. Depending on their components, they can have a more stimulating or calming effect on the psyche. When inhaled, the pure essential oils enter the bloodstream via the mucous membranes and lungs, thus penetrating our bodies.
Ingredients that primarily have a relaxing effect promote positive feelings, stimulate our imagination, help us overcome low moods, and support our emotional well-being. Stimulating ingredients, on the other hand, promote thinking, assertiveness, and provide structure, clarity, and understanding. They also alleviate anxiety and stimulate rational thinking.
Effect of the spruce
Much like a walk through the woods, the scent of spruce has a profound effect on us. Spruce oil is relaxing, expands the lungs, and fosters a sense of connection with nature. This lung expansion stimulates breathing, thereby cleansing the upper and lower respiratory tract. Especially during cold and flu season, the scent of spruce acts as an expectorant, antiseptic, decongestant, and opening agent. The fragrance of spruce has a positive effect not only on the body but also on the mind.
In cases of exhaustion, spruce oil provides emotional support and a particularly pure feeling. The scent of spruce oil soothes nervous conditions such as stress or tension. Emotional blockages are released, our inner balance is restored, and we feel grounded.
How is spruce oil produced?
Quality is our top priority, which is why we use only natural and sustainable ingredients in the production of our products. The spruce oil is distilled from the needles and twigs using steam distillation. One hundred kilograms of spruce needles are needed to produce one liter of spruce oil. The unmistakable spruce oil is characterized by its typical forest scent, which is spicy, fresh, and slightly sweet. The scent of spruce harmonizes perfectly with the scents of eucalyptus, thyme, lavender and cedarwood.
Conclusion
Essential oils have a beneficial and healing effect on our bodies and also positively influence our well-being. Essential oils take effect simply through inhalation, but can also be added to massage oil. The aromatic information is absorbed through the skin, entering the bloodstream and tissues. The various absorption methods of essential oils allow for numerous applications, such as inhalation, massage, and aromatherapy. Our new Spruce Shower Bomb allows us to escape the everyday hustle and bustle, treat ourselves to a little break, and immerse ourselves in the relaxing, soothing scent of spruce. Pure bliss.
Autumnal-scented greetings,
Yours, Marie
