Grief & Loss — Comforting Botanical Bath Soak

There are silences that keep us company.
Gestures we continue to repeat
as if absence still had a shape.

Grief follows no rule —
not time, nor order, nor logic.
It moves in waves —
sometimes gentle, sometimes unpredictable —
moving between gratitude, sorrow, and memory.

This ritual does not try to make the pain disappear.
It simply offers a quiet space
to breathe a little more freely
and let memory take its place.

A bath in which to settle,
to listen to what remains,
and remember that love continues — differently.

The Experience

In tender moments such as these,
water can offer a simple refuge —
a place where one may be carried
without any requirement to “feel better.”

This botanical synergy was composed
around warm, grounding notes:

• Amyris (Amyris balsamifera)
• Vetiver (Vetiveria zizanoides)
• Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile)
• Geranium Bourbon (Pelargonium graveolens)
• Sweet Orange (Citrus sinensis)
• Bulgarian Rose (Rosa damascena)

Its scent recalls earth after the rain —
intimate, enveloping, lightly floral.

Dead Sea salts dissolve slowly,
creating a mineral embrace
that invites gentle inner stillness.

For external use only — not a treatment.

How to Use

Add about three tablespoons (≈ 30 g) to a warm bath.
Enter softly.
Close the eyes.
Let the warmth surround the body.

Stay as long as needed —
like a quiet conversation with yourself.

What This Ritual Invites

• A moment to settle, without expectation
• A calm presence within sorrow
• A sense of warmth and gentle holding
• Skin softened by mineral salts

This ritual does not promise to heal the heart —
it simply offers a discreet place
where grief may breathe
without being rushed.

A Note from Christian

Each Hanami botanical bath soak is handcrafted
at an intentionally slow rhythm.

Its fragrance is natural — sometimes surprising —
reflecting the plants’ true nature,
without adornment.
