Let the Ceremony Begin
Bathing ceremonies have held great significance throughout the ages. In Egypt, Greece and Rome, the purifying properties of water were revered, while aromatic oils and natural preparations were widely used for health, beauty and emotional wellbeing. Similar ceremonies, both religious and secular, have historically been practiced throughout Asia and Africa too.
Many of these practices survive in modern form. In Scandinavia and Russia, sauna and banya remain as much a way of life as the hamman and onsen do in Morocco and Japan, while a huge variety of treatments can now be found around the world thanks to the phenomenal growth of the spa.
With its roots in these traditions, Abahna has been created to reawaken people to the possibilities of bathing as a therapeutic and rewarding experience.
Natural Thinking
Abahna is dedicated to a philosophy of nature. A great deal of care and attention goes into their formulations to make them as natural, simple and effective as possible, benefiting both your body and the wider world. So they use ingredients from plants, flowers, herbs and trees, and wherever possible ensure that their products are naturally preserved.
Abahna's fragrances are created from essential oils rather than synthetic perfumes. Similarly, their bases are derived from vegetable and plant oils instead of the mineral oils and paraffin commonly found in products of this kind. So you can rely on Abahna to be kind to your skin.
Aromatherapy - Heavenly Aromas
Fragrance and aromatherapy have been used for centuries for spiritual and medicinal purposes. Buddhists have always incorporated it into their prayer practice, the Greeks used it for healing, and to this day the Chinese use it to clear oppressive atmospheres.
Thanks to advances in the science of smell, the effect of aromas on the mind and the body is now more widely recognised than ever. At its simplest, when a smell enters the nose a message is sent to the part of the brain that controls memories and emotions.
This is why aromas can have such a strong influence over our moods, memories and even behaviour - and why they go to such lengths to ensure that Abahna fragrances are so carefully created.
Abahna Fragrances - Truly Essential
Natural essences are the basis of the most effective and sensual scents. So each of Abahna's fragrances are carefully formulated from essential oils in order to enhance a certain state of mind, unlock the senses and add a little ceremony to your daily routine.
Their oils are painstakingly sourced from all over the world. You'll find Abahna use oils like Frankincense and Himalayan Cedarwood to soothe, Neroli and Chinese May Chang to uplift, and Brazilian Sweet Orange to add refreshingly natural notes.
Feeling Good
Bathing is about so much more than getting clean. Approached in the right spirit, it can help return us to our essential humanity, and bring about the inner calm that most of us need now more than ever.
The environment around your bath is just as important as what you put in it. Whether you're aware of it or not, your body always responds to its immediate surroundings, so it's worth taking time to maximise your physical and emotional wellbeing with a few simple steps.
Natural sources of light, for example, have a more beneficial effect on mood than electric lighting, so use candles or sunlight to give your bathroom a more relaxed feel.
Plants give off oxygen as they grow, so they can also be used to contribute to a restorative atmosphere, while flowers have a naturally soothing effect. Finally, to complete the picture, your favourite music will fully immerse you in the world of the senses.
Bathe with a sense of ceremony as often as you can, and you'll feel good in an entirely new way.
