JAPANESE NEW YEAR - SHōGATSU

In Japan, New Year (Shōgatsu) is the most important holiday, celebrated according to the Gregorian calendar. Characteristic features include the ringing of temple bells, sending New Year's cards, and giving money to children in small envelopes.

JAPANESE NEW YEAR - TRADITIONS

New Year in Japan is a magical time, full of unique customs and traditions that distinguish it from celebrations in other parts of the world. The Japanese attach great importance to preparations for this holiday, which is expressed in special care for the home and its surroundings. One of the most characteristic elements of these preparations is decorating homes with kadomatsu, traditional decorations made of bamboo and pine, placed at the entrance to the home, which are supposed to protect against evil and impurities. The purification of the living and spiritual space is key in Japanese preparations for the New Year. The custom known as ōsōji, or great cleaning, includes not only physical cleanliness, but also mental cleanliness. It is a time to tidy up not only the home, but also your thoughts and life, to pay off debts or pay overdue bills. The tradition of the kamidana, or Shinto home altar, is equally important. It is decorated with fresh sakaki tree leaves and shimenawa rope, which is supposed to symbolically separate the sacred from the profane. The offering of kagami mochi, round rice cakes that symbolize the three sacred treasures of Japan, is part of this tradition.

JAPANESE NEW YEAR - NEW YEAR'S EVE IN JAPAN

New Year's Eve in Japan is primarily a family celebration. During the ceremonial dinner, dishes with symbolic meaning appear, such as soba noodles, symbolizing long life, or kagami mochi. A meal of osechi ryōri, containing black beans, shrimp, and herring roe, is supposed to bring abundance and prosperity to the home. At exactly midnight, bells ring in Japanese temples. You can hear 108 strikes, which symbolize the 108 sins of man or human worries.

Nengajō, or New Year's postcards, are an important part of holiday traditions. They are sent to family, friends, and coworkers to emphasize the importance of relationships and mutual respect.

Hatsumōde, or the first shrine visit of the New Year, is a key moment of celebration. It is a time for offerings and prayers to ensure good fortune for the coming year.

Finally, the Emperor's New Year's Address is an important event where the Japanese monarch extends his best wishes to his subjects. It is an opportunity to reflect on the past year and hope for the future.

During this special time, we cannot forget about otoshidama, traditional cash gifts for children to ensure good luck and prosperity in the coming year.

New Year in Japan is a unique holiday that combines tradition with modernity, spirituality with everyday life, showing the unique character of Japanese culture.

WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS OF POLISH NATURAL COSMETICS

THE IMPORTANCE OF NATURAL INGREDIENTS For thousands of years, people have used natural substances, whether to improve their condition and health, or to treat or improve the condition of their skin. Natural medicine is the forerunner of natural cosmetics . Nature gives us many ingredients that we can use in natural cosmetics. These are thousands of raw materials, some of them easily available in Polish meadows and forests, and some from distant countries tested for thousands of years in Eastern medicine. Natural raw materials are a salvation for people surrounded by chemistry. It is worth emphasizing, however, that natural ingredients are not necessarily outdated. Nowadays, scientists have also returned to these ingredients and have studied them thoroughly. Scientists fascinated by traditional Asian medicine are studying Asian plants for use in medicines and cosmetics, and the results are sensational. Orientana has used these natural ingredients in our cosmetics. ASIAN PLANTS AND HERBS The most interesting ingredients used in natural cosmetics include Asian plants and herbs. Due to their origin, we will find them in Polish natural cosmetics. Their properties have been known for thousands of years and supported by scientific literature not only from ancient times but also by the latest scientific research. Natural cosmetics from Asian plants work effectively, especially those whose properties have been confirmed in Ayurveda, Chinese Natural Medicine and Tibetan Natural Medicine. Although difficult to access and unique due to their properties, they are sought after by many conscious and educated consumers. ALGAE AS AN INGREDIENT OF NATURAL COSMETICS Philippine Agave used in Orientana natural cosmetics are very rich in vitamins and microelements. The anti-aging effect is due to the vitamins E and C present in large quantities in the algae, as well as beta-carotene. Philippine Agave are known for their moisturizing, strengthening and skin protection effects. Philippine Algae work best as an ingredient in cosmetics for combination and oily skin - they perfectly regulate sebum secretion, have anti-inflammatory effects, reduce acne lesions and skin pores.

Philippine Algae work best as an ingredient in cosmetics for combination and oily skin - they perfectly regulate sebum secretion, have anti-inflammatory effects, reduce acne lesions and skin pores. EXCELLENT INGREDIENT OF NATURAL COSMETICS FOR HAIR CARE – AMLA Natural cosmetics with amla are a traditional way of caring for hair in India. It is one of the most interesting cosmetic ingredients, but also an ingredient in food products. Amla is used to make tasty desserts and jams. It has a strengthening effect on the body. Amla used as an ingredient in natural cosmetics primarily strengthens the hair. It also works on the scalp, reducing inflammation and fighting dandruff. NOURISHING INGREDIENT OF NATURAL HAIR COSMETICS – CASSIA. Equally popular as amla, cassia, called neutral henna, is used in many natural hair conditioners. It has antibacterial and antifungal properties, so it has a beneficial effect on the scalp. Indian women use it for dermatitis, chronic inflammation and all kinds of problems related to the poor condition of the scalp. This small plant with yellow flowers, usually used in powder form, will repair the structure of the hair and make it soft and shiny. GINGER AS AN INGREDIENT OF NATURAL COSMETICS FOR THE FACE, BODY AND HAIR. Known mainly from the kitchen, ginger is a real treasure among the ingredients of natural cosmetics. Extremely rich in active substances, it has anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects. These aspects are perfect for facial cosmetics. Its antibacterial and sebum-limiting effects will help fight oily hair and inflammation of the scalp. We know from cooking recipes that ginger warms. Natural cosmetics with ginger will warm up our body, which will help increase circulation and fight cellulite and get rid of excess fat. IS IT WORTH USE OF SNAIL SLIME AS AN INGREDIENT OF NATURAL COSMETICS? Snail slime is a versatile ingredient. It is an active ingredient with a very strong effect. Rich in natural antibiotics, allantoin, glycolic acid, vitamins, collagen and elastin, it has a repairing, rejuvenating and regenerating effect, as well as soothing inflammation and irritated skin. In Asia, snail slime is often used after aesthetic medicine procedures and after deep surgical procedures. It also works on scars, causing them to disappear. Due to its versatile effect, snail slime can be used by people with mature skin who want to rejuvenate it, as well as young people with acne skin who want to eliminate acne. Currently, there are many cosmetics with snail slime on the market, but most of them are chemical cosmetics based on paraffin or other petroleum-derived ingredients. Orientana natural cosmetics with snail slime have a high natural composition and can boast that they are the first natural cosmetics with snail slime on the Polish market. JAPANESE ROSE – A SERIES OF NATURAL COSMETICS WITH A SCENTED ROSE Japanese Rose is mainly a component of oils and body butters. Orientana natural cosmetics also contain rose water, which you will find in the face tonic, among others. We use both rose petals and rose fruit. Rich in rejuvenating substances, vitamins, fruit acids and pectins, Japanese Rose helps in perfect hydration and rejuvenation of the skin and revitalization of the color. ASHWAGANDHA Ashwagandha is called Indian ginseng in India and is an herb effectively used in Ayurvedic medicine. Ashwagandha in cosmetics has anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties. It is one of the most effective ingredients of natural cosmetics, which works perfectly in facial cosmetics. It is an active ingredient in facial scrubs and creams. PAPAYA Papaya is a fruit that we know and use in the kitchen. In Asia, papaya is used to make salads, desserts and soups. Asian women also use a papaya mask to whiten discolourations. The brightening effect in papaya is due to an enzyme called papain - it not only exfoliates discolourations but also protects the skin from discolourations. Papaya is an ingredient in a natural facial scrub, a natural face wash gel with rice particles, and also the Bio Essence Mask used at night. SAFFRON Saffron is one of the most expensive ingredients of natural cosmetics, which is why we rarely find it in the offer of other cosmetic companies. It was used thousands of years ago not only as a cosmetic but also as an aphrodisiac. Today, its effects have been confirmed by modern scientific research. Studies confirm that the active ingredients contained in saffron delay the skin aging process, limit the loss of moisture, inhibit the formation of discolorations and reduce the redness of irritated skin. Natural cosmetics with a high saffron content are primarily the Rich Cream and Hydrotherapy with Saffron Kumkumadi. KOREAN GINSENG Korean ginseng is a rare ingredient in Polish natural cosmetics. Unlike the weaker Siberian ginseng, it is much more difficult to obtain. Its cultivation is very limited, it occurs only in Asia. It is a recognized medicinal raw material. Scientists have discovered panaxoside in its composition. This is a highly active active substance that prolongs the life of cells, regenerates the skin and causes its rejuvenation. It can catch and destroy free radicals responsible for skin aging. It also has a detoxifying effect. You will find Korean ginseng in Bio Masks Essence for night skin care. NEEM Neem is a plant originating from India. It is one of the basic herbs of Ayurveda used not only as a medicine but also as an extract supporting the fight against skin problems. The Polish name is Indian lilac. Neem is a tree that commonly grows in India. Leaves, seeds, fruits, bark, flowers and roots are used. Neem extract has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. It also perfectly disinfects the skin, treats eczema, psoriasis, pimples and acne. Natural cosmetics with neem support the care of oily and oily skin. Neem is an excellent ingredient in Ayurvedic shampoos, oils for oiling hair, natural hair dyes, as well as face cleansing masks, tonic for oily skin, make-up removal oil and serum supporting its fight against acne CHINESE PEONY Chinese peony is an Asian plant whose herbal raw material is flowers and root. Flowers are collected in summer, and the root is obtained in autumn or spring. The most valuable part of Chinese peony is the root rhizome and it is used in rejuvenating cosmetics. The active raw material contained in the root rhizome is the glycoside paeoniflorin. Its task is to protect the skin from aging, it has a firming and smoothing effect. Peony root can also be used in cosmetics supporting atopic dermatitis and treating acne. SHEA BUTTER Shea butter is made from the nuts of the shea tree. These nuts resemble plums in appearance. After harvesting, they are roasted and crushed, and then boiled, during which the actual butter collects on the surface. It is collected by hand and left to cool. Shea butter has very good moisturizing properties, thanks to which it protects the skin from losing water from the epidermis. The butter soothes irritations, accelerates wound healing and supports skin regeneration. It has not only a caring but also rejuvenating effect - it improves the elasticity and firmness of the skin.

TURMERIC AND ITS EXTRAORDINARY PROPERTIES

Turmeric is widely used and appreciated primarily in India and Pakistan. According to Ayurveda, turmeric is an excellent medicine for many ailments - it improves digestion, has tonic properties, cures cough, anemia, is an excellent herb for colds. Applied externally, it has antibacterial and antiseptic properties, reduces inflammation and regulates the sebaceous glands. Turmeric also works wonders on sun discoloration, as well as acne discoloration and all skin imperfections. Fresh turmeric root resembles ginger root. We can make a turmeric mask ourselves. However, we must remember that turmeric stains the skin and clothing, and we suggest using self-made masks for the weekend. The first effect is yellow skin, but after two washes and the next day it has a natural color, discolorations are smaller, and inflammations disappear quickly. Reduction of discoloration – 2 tablespoons of turmeric, a little sandalwood powder, orange juice to create a paste. Keep on face for 15 minutes. For dry skin with signs of aging – 2 tablespoons of turmeric, natural yogurt, a little honey. Keep on face for 15 minutes. For dandruff and inflammation of the scalp – 2 tablespoons of turmeric, sesame or coconut oil, slightly warmed. We encourage you to use turmeric in cooking and in cosmetics. Cosmetics with turmeric: Face cream SANDALWOOD and TURMERIC 50 ml Rich face cream with TURMERIC 30 ml Facial massage oil SANDALWOOD and TURMERIC 30 ml Hydro facial treatment with TURMERIC 30 ml

Mgiełka zapachowa – jak zapach wpływa na samopoczucie i dlaczego warto wybrać mgiełki Orientana?

Czy zapach wpływa na emocje i samopoczucie? Oczywiście że tak. Zmysł węchu jest jednym z najstarszych zmysłów człowieka i ma bezpośrednie połączenie z układem limbicznym - częścią mózgu odpowiedzialną za emocje i pamięć. Dlatego zapach działa szybciej na nasze samopoczucie niż obraz czy dźwięk. Badania pokazują, że 93% osób deklaruje poprawę nastroju po kontakcie z ulubionym zapachem (International Journal of Neuroscience, 2019). Aromaterapia potrafi obniżyć poziom kortyzolu (hormonu stresu) nawet o 31% (Frontiers in Psychology, 2020). Woń jaśminu zwiększa czujność i koncentrację – w jednym z badań wzrost wydajności poznawczej wyniósł 15% (Journal of Health Research, 2017).

Jak zapach poprawia nastrój? Redukcja stresu Aromaty kwiatowe i owocowe obniżają napięcie - zapach róży czy jaśminu działa jak naturalny antydepresant. Relaks i wyciszenie Woń kwiatów wiśni koi zmysły, ułatwia odprężenie i poprawia jakość snu.
