Yesterday, the breathing seminar concluded at 1 PM.
After a light lunch, I headed to Ginza.
Lately, I've been using essential oils to balance my hormonal imbalances. With a 30-year history with aromatherapy,
I possess a decent amount of knowledge.
When it comes to aromatherapy, for me, it's all about "Culpeper House". Nicholas Culpeper seems to have been a remarkable man.
I love the purity of Culpeper House's essential oils. Additionally, I have a fondness for their London store's aesthetic.
It somehow reminds me of a traditional herbal medicine shop. I get the impression that, for Culpeper, essential oils were an important
medicine. Such stores likely maintain a steady clientele and carry out their business with great care.
The main aromatherapy store in Covent Garden feels different. The clientele appears to be younger,
giving off the vibe of a trendy establishment. The purity of their essential oils isn't bad either, leading me to think that such stores
might expand to Japan.
In fact, the store I visited yesterday was their Japanese branch. While its ambiance contrasts with Culpeper House,
I now get my supplies from this Ginza store since Culpeper House has retreated from Japan.
I buy oils like Ylang-Ylang, Clary Sage, Geranium, and Frankincense when running low. Additionally, I select oils for lymphatic
and skin massages based on their ingredients and my needs.
As the weather has turned colder, I also bought two boxes of herbal tea. One blend consists of Lady's Mantle and Raspberry,
while the other has Juniper Berry and organic Ginger.
I usually put such herbal teas in my travel pot to drink on the go. As a senior, maintaining one's health becomes crucial.
It's quite the hassle.
After Ginza, I returned to my office in Tokyo to work. Then, having worked from the morning, I headed home with my spouse.
By the way, I picked up my spouse's favorite Japanese sweets from the department store basement as a gift. I bought "Ikkokuten" and
"Amo".
