The Swiss stone pine is an evergreen tree. It grows throughout the Alps and in Switzerland is mainly found in the Engadin and Valais. In Germany and Austria, the trees are also known as Swiss stone pines. Swiss stone pines grow up to 25 meters high and can be up to 1,000 years old. Clusters of five needles grow on their short shoots. Swiss stone pines adapt to their surroundings like no other native tree: They nevertheless withstand wind and weather and even survive temperatures of -40°.

Even if they almost collapse under the weight of the heavy snow in winter, they straighten up again in spring and stand proudly in their place. However, if a branch breaks off or part of the trunk is torn away by an avalanche, the Swiss stone pine sprouts as if nothing had happened. As a result, Swiss stone pines often grow in bizarre shapes and have several trunks and many branches. Swiss stone pines grow where alpine roses and blueberries are also at home - and where no other native tree feels at home.

Swiss stone pine wood has a very special scent

Swiss stone pine wood contains essential oils. This gives the wood an antibacterial effect. For this reason, it is used for bread boxes, chopping boards and as mothballs, among other things. Our ancestors already knew about the calming effect of Swiss stone pine wood and furnished their bedrooms almost entirely with Swiss stone pine furniture. It was not uncommon for them to also cover the ceiling and walls with Swiss stone pine.

The branches, resin, needles and trunk of Swiss stone pines contain various essential oils with different scents. This oil has a positive effect on the quality of sleep. Maximilian Moser is a professor at the Medical University of Graz and heads the Human Research Institute for Health Technology and Prevention Research. He has been involved in numerous studies in which the positive effect of Swiss stone pine on the human body has been scientifically proven. He has compiled many of his findings in his book "The secret of Swiss stone pine".

The mild scent of Swiss stone pine is relaxing and promotes quality sleep. Particularly during the first sleep cycle, the scent of Swiss stone pine ensures a deep, restful sleep. The vegetative nervous system can recover and regenerate. The improved quality of sleep continues into the day: a heart that has been surrounded by arven fragrance during the night beats around 3,500 times less per day than a heart that has not been surrounded by arven fragrance during the night.

If you convert the slower heartbeat, this results in around 1 hour less heartbeat per day. People who sleep with the scent of Swiss stone pine wake up much more rested in the morning and can tackle the day in a good mood and full of energy. People who suffer from weather sensitivity also report significantly better sleep at night when they use the power of Swiss stone pine to improve the quality of their sleep.

A Swiss stone pine wardrobe can also contribute a great deal to a relaxed atmosphere in a bedroom. However, not everyone who suffers from sleep problems can or wants to completely redecorate their entire bedroom. For these people, there are various products made from Swiss stone pine that can achieve a similar effect to Swiss stone pine furniture.

Swiss stone pine comforters and Swiss stone pine pillows are filled with Swiss stone pine shavings. They exude a delicate pine scent throughout the night, promoting deep, healthy sleep. The Swiss stone pine shavings come from particularly intensely fragrant Swiss stone pines. They are planed on site and dried in the fresh Alpine air. at first glance, "wood shavings in a pillow" sounds like a hard, uncomfortable pillow. But this impression is deceptive: Swiss stone pine pillows are wonderfully comfortable and offer exactly the same sleeping comfort as traditional pillows and pillows.

Swiss stone pine pillows are available in many different sizes and designs. For example, as pillows (50 x 70 centimetres) and as cushions (40 x 40 centimetres).

3. Place your smartphone in the Nightholder

No question: cell phone radiation is not exactly conducive to deep, restful sleep. Nevertheless, many people cannot and do not want to switch off their cell phone at night. For example, because they are on call (towing service, fire department, health service) or because they want or need to be available for children or elderly people. The "ArvenNightholder" is the perfect solution for them: the holder for smartphones made of Swiss stone pine wood was developed by a hotelier and reduces cell phone radiation by 75 %. It also has a tray for Swiss stone pine shavings.

The Nightholder has a closed and an open side and is placed next to the bed. The open side guarantees full reception. The closed side provides reliable protection against mobile phone radiation.

To maintain the relaxing pine scent, simply drizzle a few drops of pine oil onto the pine flakes from time to time.

This will conjure up a relaxing atmosphere in your living room, allowing you to wind down and slowly but surely get in the mood for a deep, restful sleep. The handmade kerosene scented candles are palm oil-free and also ensure long-lasting freshness and a pleasant room climate.

5. Take a Swiss stone pine bath before going to bed

If you treat yourself to a 40° warm relaxing bath 1 ½ hours before going to bed, you will lie awake for 10 minutes less. This is the interesting result of a study published in the journal "Sleep Medicine Reviews". As a rule, the temperature inside the body drops about an hour before the usual bedtime. It reaches its lowest point in the middle of the night. This process can be simulated by taking a bath 90 minutes before going to bed: The blood vessels in the hands and feet dilate; blood circulation increases. To achieve the desired effect, the interval between bathing and going to bed should not be longer than 90 minutes. If you use a Swiss stone pine bath instead of a conventional bubble bath, you can enhance the positive effect of the "bedtime bath".

6. Pamper your body with a fluid after bathing

Everyone should rub their skin once a day with a cream or fluid to provide the skin with lasting moisture. Oils are less suitable. This is because they do not have the same effect. Make sure that you apply cream to your skin at least 3 minutes after bathing to achieve the greatest possible effect. After that, the lotion can no longer penetrate the skin as well. You can kill two birds with one stone pine lotion. On the one hand, you give your skin long-lasting moisture. On the other hand, the pine scent provides additional relaxation and therefore optimal preparation for the upcoming sleep.

7. Place a Swiss stone pine cube or cuboid next to the bed

With a Swiss stone pine cube or cuboid , you can bring the scent of Swiss stone pine into your bedroom, bathroom or any other place. And with it the sleep-promoting effect of Swiss stone pine. Whether at the headboard, on the bedside table or next to the bed: with their simple design, Swiss stone pine cubes cut a fine figure on bedroom furniture. If the scent of the pine shavings wears off after a while, simply drizzle a few drops of pine oil onto the flakes. And your bedroom will smell wonderfully of Swiss stone pine again.
