The ancient secret of aromatherapy for clean indoor air
and an atmosphere of grounding security.

When we talk about cleaning and hygiene measures, we often mean the overdue house cleaning. Corona means that we are paying more attention to disinfection. While germ-free hands are already a matter of course, we may have to get used to airing the house more often. However, since we spend almost all of the cold season indoors, the climate is of great importance for maintaining our health. Dry, dusty heating air can weaken the defense function of the mucous membranes in the mouth and nose, leaving the entry gates open for flu viruses and the like to enter our bodies. Regularly disinfecting the air in the room helps to reduce germs. And this can also be done naturally.

Tried and tested rituals

Smoking ceremonies have accompanied mankind since the discovery of fire. Almost all cultures had or have the custom in their repertoire. In popular belief, smoking in winter was a way to drive away evil disease demons. Today we know that the smoke has a disinfectant effect. Whether frankincense and myrrh from the Orient or lavender and mugwort from the garden - resins, herbs and woods release their healing powers in the embers of the fire. That is why fir resin was used to smoke against coughs and bronchial diseases until the 1960s. Grandma's tip that smoldering sage works against kitchen smells is as relevant as ever. And the sun plant St. John's wort is and remains an all-time favorite with its mood-enhancing properties. Smoking is the most original form of aromatherapy.
