The natural compound hinokitiol contained in the tree has long been studied by scientists and has been proven to possess several properties beneficial to health, including antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties. The distinctive fragrance of Yoshino hinoki is a scent typical of Japanese forests, allowing this vial of aromatic water to transform your space into a tranquil place ideal for ‘forest bathing’ in your own home.
