"Meraki: Transforming Your Life Through Connecting with nature"

"We're bridging the gap between you and nature by bringing its incredible benefits directly to you. How? With our exclusive box of #phytonutrients.

But what exactly are phytonutrients? Phytonutrients, also known as phytochemicals, are bioactive compounds found in plants that are beneficial to human health. They serve various functions such as protecting the plant from UV radiation, attracting pollinators, and providing color and flavor.

How do phytoncides make their way into your body? They enter through inhalation of the crisp forest air, consumption of plant-based foods brimming with phytonutrients, or even through direct contact with plants or plant-based products. Once inside, they work their magic, modulating your immune response, reducing stress, and soothing inflammation, all contributing to your overall well-being and vitality.

Many herbs and botanicals used in Ayurvedic oils are rich sources of phytonutrients, including flavonoids, polyphenols, terpenoids, and other bioactive compounds. Ayurvedic oils can deliver these beneficial compounds directly to the skin, where they may exert antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and other therapeutic effects. At #Meraki, we take pride in our 100% plant-based products, making them the ultimate source for phytonutrients.

Did you know? while both phytoncides and phytonutrients are derived from plants and contribute to human health, they have different functions, sources, and health benefits. Phytoncides are emitted by plants as part of their defense mechanism and have antimicrobial properties.

Phytoncides are most abundant in forested areas, especially in coniferous forests, where trees like pine, cedar, and fir emit copious amounts of these beneficial compounds. It's no wonder activities like forest bathing, or #shinrin-yoku, have become so popular for harnessing the incredible #healing benefits of #phytoncides."
