Hikobayu's new blended essential oil "MOM" series
Introducing the Mama Café x HIKOBAYU blended aroma!
This collaboration was led by Hikobayu's Sawada Yoko It all started when I met Dr. Ishida Katsunori , who runs Mama Café .
Sawada Kayoko has a 5-year-old boy and a 3-year-old girl, and is currently raising them. Since her family lives far away in Honshu, she lives with her husband.
In between my busy schedule, I have a habit of listening to "Mama Cafe Radio," Professor Ishida's channel on Voicy.
While Dr. Ishida is sympathetic to the feelings of mothers, She understands the child's position and provides individual consultations every day from a neutral perspective. (Currently ranked #1 in parenting rankings✨)
In addition, Professor Ishida has written books and written for Tokyo Keizai Online and other publications. Among his more than 30 books, in his book "The Seven Principles for Raising Children" (Yamato Shobo) , which he calls his "bible ," he writes the following about parents fulfilling their own hearts:
＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿
- Parents should think about satisfying their own hearts -
The means to achieve this are 1. Food, 2. Books, 3. People, 4. Places, 5. Music, and 6. Scents .
Change your mind through your five senses.
Partial Quote

This fragrance aspect linked with Hikobayu and led to the development of this product.
As women take on more responsibilities, they tend to prioritize others and put themselves last. This was the case for me as well.
A few months after my first child was born, the three of us went to the park. While my husband and child were playing, I suddenly lay down on a bench and looked up at the sky. Then, the clouds started to move and take shape. I could see her changing. It made me realize that I really enjoyed doing these things. I was searching for what I should be as a wife and mother. While there, I realized that I had forgotten all about what I like about myself.
I'm sure you can all relate to this.
But in fact, the most important thing when raising children is for the parents themselves to first satisfy their own hearts.
Like a champagne tower, by filling yourself first you can then share with those around you.
Research has revealed that scents (aromatic molecules) are directly connected to the brain, reach the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, and cause physiological changes in the functioning of the autonomic nervous system and hormone secretion.
Also, when you smell a scent, you necessarily inhale air through your nose. In other words, it is through breathing. This "breathing" is The autonomic nervous system is the only part of the body that can be consciously controlled. For these reasons, scents and breathing can help regulate the autonomic nervous system.
