Fear — Warming Botanical Bath

There are the fears we can name — the ones we understand. And then there are the quieter ones — the unease that settles in the body for no reason, a knot in the stomach, a tension before tomorrow, the feeling of being fragile without knowing why.

These fears aren’t here to paralyze us — they simply want to be heard.

The Ritual of Courage was created to bring warmth where fear has placed cold, to soothe the nervous system and restore a sense of inner safety. It’s a bath for releasing, grounding, and remembering that we can keep moving forward — even gently.

How this ritual works

Fear is not an enemy — it’s a signal, a tension that tries to protect us. But when it lingers — quiet, irrational, or constant — it drains the body, freezes the mind, and erodes trust.

This bath acts as a comforting cocoon — a slow, gentle heat that melts inner rigidity and brings back stability.

Its essential oils form a warm, rooted, and protective blend:

• Vetiver — earthy and grounding, reconnects you to stability and safety.
• Amyris — clears the mind and recenters scattered thoughts.
• Sweet Orange — brings a reassuring light and lifts dark moods.
• Cardamom — encourages inner courage and warms the heart.
• Cypress — strengthens confidence and inner coherence.

Dead Sea salts, rich in magnesium and potassium, help calm the nervous system:

• Magnesium relaxes muscles and eases the vigilance that comes with anxiety.
• Potassium restores cellular balance and emotional vitality.
  Together, they create a solid foundation — like feeling your feet on the ground again after an inner storm.

This ritual doesn’t try to erase fear — it helps you befriend it. To breathe again, to soften, and to remember that safety lives in the present moment.

How to use

• Add 3 tablespoons (≈ 30 g) to a warm bath.
• Step in slowly, breathe deeply, and let the warmth wrap around you.
• Imagine each exhale melting away tension.
• Let fear become presence, and presence become peace.

What it brings

• Deep nervous calm
• Protective warmth that restores inner safety
• Emotional grounding during vulnerable times
• A gentle return to self and stability

This bath is a quiet refuge for evenings when everything feels too large. It doesn’t promise heroic courage — only the rare kind: the courage to comfort yourself.

A Note from Christian

Each Hanami Botanical Bath is handcrafted to order. This slow, intentional ritual ensures freshness and honors the natural rhythm of creation.

Rooted in aromatherapy and emotional phytology, each blend supports states of imbalance such as fear, fatigue, or anxiety.

Its scent is natural, raw, and sometimes unexpected — a reflection of a sincere approach where plants act first by their nature, not by appearance.
