HOZHO, the leading brand of scented home care products with active energies, explains how to harmonize the energies in your home to restore well-being and serenity.

#1 Scented treatments to harmonize energies

Aromatherapy is a now-recognized discipline based on the medical use of aromatic oils. This therapeutic practice involves ingesting, massaging, or inhaling plant essential oils or aromatic essences to heal the mind or body. In this branch of phytotherapy, medicinal plants have a direct healing effect on the individual; it does not directly aim to correct the energies of a room .

However, some ancestral cultures consider space as a set of energies of different natures and intensities. These affect our moods and the accomplishment of our actions. To promote well-being, health and prosperity, the use of certain corrective ingredients is required. Native American peoples therefore carry out purification rituals for the home or for the harmonization of energies. These rituals are generally fire ceremonies performed during important life events, such as births, marriages or deaths. A move can also give rise to fumigation to remove negative energies from the former occupants and favor the flow of positive energy .

Our ranges of scented and energetic care products for the home draw on this wisdom, using the beneficial properties of plants. Energy candles, spagyric elixirs and energetic perfumes for the home are composed of exceptional ingredients grown in the Basque Country and selected by an energy practitioner. These different synergies to purify , protect and harmonize your interior are composed of sacred ingredients common to many cultures. Palo Santo, white sage, sandalwood, red rose, oak, bamboo, myrrh, cedar, patchouli… Each range is designed to transform the energetic balance of your living spaces . Their olfactory signature is characterized by delicate, floral, gourmand, woody or spicy notes.

#2 Daily tidying promotes flow

Feng shui is an ancient art from China that relies on the circulation of energy. A true pillar of Taoist culture, this discipline is nevertheless increasingly considered for contemporary interior design.

To harmonize your home , the feng shui approach involves considering the vital energy of living spaces according to the principle of yin and yang. To facilitate harmonious flow, visible space must be decluttered. Avoid accumulating objects, untidy shelves and dressing rooms.

In the same spirit, it is advisable to choose furniture that is not too bulky and that can be closed to hide the elements.

#3 Colors designed for each room

Feng shui shares some similarities with color therapy, which uses color for therapeutic purposes. In feng shui, colors, energies, and emotions are closely linked. Different harmony can be created by using a color and its negative side to adjust its intensity.

Therefore, colors must be adapted to each room to harmonize the energies of the spaces . Red, orange and yellow are fiery colors, stimulating, dynamic and joyful. They will be used in offices, kitchens, living rooms or dining rooms to facilitate creativity or communication. Blue is preferred to soothe and calm the mind.

Soft colors reminiscent of nature, pastels, and bright hues are ideal for bedrooms and spaces dedicated to relaxation. Overly pronounced contrasts should be avoided, as they stimulate the mind and do not encourage inner calm.

#4 Natural energy-correcting materials

Organic materials such as wood, linen, cotton, silk, or wool are considered energy-correcting materials . Symbols of the animal or plant kingdom, they help rebalance the energies of a space and are particularly recommended for a bedroom or living room.

Indoor plants also help to introduce the wood element and attract positive energies . Bamboo, sage, orchid, peace lily and fern are among the plants recommended in feng shui.

#5 Suitable lighting to calm moods

Lighting is essential for balancing energy and ensuring it circulates freely throughout your home. Feng shui favors natural light—sunlight during the day and candlelight at night. In all cases, it's essential to avoid overly bright lighting, which can excite the brain, in areas dedicated to rest.

Choose bulbs with a warm color spectrum and lamps made from natural materials such as wood or wickerwork.
