Nature immersion has been shown to have positive impacts on our health and wellbeing. While this is well known, there are times when it can be difficult to access woodlands when we most need them.

Roots & Sky’s Forest Bathing Ritual Kit is crafted to create the sensation of engaging with the forest in a meditative way - to receive its gifts of peace, stability, and fortitude as well as natural benefits to our immune systems through the release of evergreen oils high in vitamin C and antioxidants. It features a blend foraged evergreen needles of balsam fir, pine and cedar for immunity with detoxifying garden sage and healing yarrow leaves.  In addition to topical benefits, these plants have ceremonial roles and have long been treasured for their spiritual cleansing value and for creating healthy boundaries.

This gift box includes:

• Renew detoxifying mineral soak to create a deep detoxifying bath anytime you are in need of refreshing, resetting yourself, and purifying your space.

• Woodkin natural soap for strength and restoration, infused with white yarrow leaves that lend healing properties for minor cuts and scrapes, and visually reminiscent of pine boughs and layers of gently exfoliating red clay balance skins natural oils winding through like a forest trail.

• Woodkin fragrance oil to carry the strength of the forest with you throughout the day, reminding you of your intentions.

• Selenite Desert Rose crystal for purification. Commonly charged with intentions for cleansing, promoting wisdom, and positivity.

Roots & Sky’s Forest Bathing Ritual Kit is inspired by shinrin-yoku the modern Japanese term for a physiological and psychological exercise of mindfully taking in the woodland atmosphere or “forest bathing”.
