Hinoki Japanese Bath Flakes

Hinoki (檜 | Japanese Cypress) - Hinoki is an ancient cypress wood from central Japan, known for its durability, antimicrobial properties, and citrus scent. -

 The Hinoki flakes have a lustrous white appearance and a straight grain, with a lifetime exceeding a thousand years. Traditionally used as a purifying agent in Japanese baths, Hinoki is highly resistant to humidity and contains natural oil that repels water. With its woody and citrusy scent, it is commonly used to relieve tension and promote mental clarity in the bath, as well as an air freshener for promoting a calm mood.

How to Use:
1. Place the hinoki bag in a bowl, pour boiling water over it, and let it steep like tea for 5 to 10 minutes.
2. Add the steeped water and the hinoki bag to the bathtub.
3. For a stronger aroma, squeeze and knead the hinoki bag while taking a bath.

Pro-Tips:
- Remove the hinoki flakes from the bag and place them on a tray to dry thoroughly.
- When dried, use the hinoki flakes as a natural air freshener adding essential oil, or place them in an aroma lamp and burn them.
