detoxification // remineralization // renewal // invigorate
Wabi Sabi is the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfection profoundly in nature, and excepting the natural cycle of growth, Decay and death. It’s simple, slow, and uncluttered and it reveres authentically above all. It celebrates cracks and crevices and all other marks that time, weather, and loving use behind. It reminds us that we are all but transient beings on this planet – that our bodies as well as the material world around us are in the process of returning to the dust from which we came.
Time-honored wisdom of the Japanese bath ceremony. Japan is home to thousands of volcanic mineral rich natural hot springs, that bubble out of Japan's mountainous volcanic backbone. These springs, known as Onsen have been celebrated for millennia for their health properties containing sulphur & iron which are especially good for arthritis, blood & skin. Naturally occurring hot water has always been plentiful in Japan, and bathing has always been a part of life. Since ancient times, water and bathing have been about more than getting clean - both are associated with cleansing the soul. Invoking a sense of tranquility.
In Japan, aromatic yuzu baths are traditionally taken on Tōji ( the day of the winter solstice ) fresh yuzu fruit is added to the hot waters of the Onsen or Ofuro ( Japanese deep tub made from aromatic hinoki cypress wood.) Centuries old tradition believed to ward off winter colds and flu, and heal chapped skin. The beautiful vitamin C-rich Yuzu contains powerful antioxidants, boosting the immune system & “Nomilin” which has arelaxation affect, providing better circulation throughout the body.
Another way of forest bathing. Inspired by the outdoor, rural ,steamy sulfur rich Onsen bathing retreats surrounded by snow covered mountains, Japanese woods, winter citron, daydreams of spring blossoms & tea ceremonies.

Key Ingredients
S U L P H U R ( MSM )~ MSM is organic sulfur, a compound that occurs naturally in nature and in the human body. It is necessary for the structure of every living cell. Hormones, enzymes, antibodies, and antioxidants all depend on it. It alleviates pain and inflammation. Sulphur originates in the oceans where microscopic plankton release sulfur compounds into seawater, which escapes into the atmosphere, then falls to the earth with the rain, where it is collected and concentrated in plants.
To the alchemist, sullphur is the bridge that connects the body with mind. It is the understanding of sulphur presence in all living things and materials that is fundamental in all alchemical processes. Sulphur is the key to unlocking the inner workings of the soul and consciousness.
