Description Dried Birch Vihda Origin: Japan (Chiba Prefecture) A vihta is a bundle of young birch branches and leaves, used in saunas by placing it inside or by gently hitting or wrapping the body with it. The fragrant aroma of birch spreads throughout the sauna room, creating a feeling like being in a forest bath, and hitting the body promotes blood circulation and metabolism. Birch's skin-friendly extracts are also said to have skincare benefits. The pleasant aroma, like being in a forest bath, is a key feature. You can enjoy the scent of birch not only in the sauna but also by floating it in the bathtub or displaying it as an object in your bathroom, allowing you to easily enjoy the scent at home. Due to the bulky nature of the product, it will be shipped in a special Nekopos cardboard box and compressed as compactly as possible. Because the branches are dried, there is a high possibility that the branches and leaves may break due to pressure. We will pack it at an angle diagonally to maintain the length as much as possible. It is ideal for use as potpourri or sachets. Any parts that stick out will be trimmed, and the cut portions will be included. If you wish to have the shape kept intact for shipping, it will be sent via Takkyubin (home delivery service), and the shipping cost will change. If you wish to purchase multiple items or change the shipping method, please comment before purchasing.
