The Embassy of Latvia's State Forests to Host a Day in a Forest Meadow

On Monday, 28 May, the Latvian company Cade will return to the Embassy of Latvia's State Forests to tell the visitors about how to find your individual plant of power and choose the most suitable oil.

From 11 to 16, all interested will have an opportunity to get acquainted with new and unique essential oils, as well as to try out and purchase products manufactured by the company. Among them there are hydrolats or plant distillates that are used for facial care, as well as for producing cosmetics to gently cleanse the skin, stimulate skin cell renewal and refresh the skin.

At 17.00, Solvita Kūna, the manager of the company, will tell about the healing powers of a forest meadow; at 18.00 a forest workshop will open its door to anyone who wishes to make their own individual, special forest massage oil from herbs growing in Latvia.

To quench the thirst, visitors will be offered to enjoy healthy beverages made of different meadow plants, including peppermint and common yarrow.

Cade is the largest company in the Baltics to produce such a wide range of essential oils from Latvian plants. The collected herbs are carefully treated to preserve the valuable substances and properties, and are used to make fragrant plant mixtures for both beauty and health. Essential oils of Latvian conifer trees such as spruce, pine, juniper and white fir, have earned special popularity.

The Embassy of Latvia's State Forests is a place to have a dialogue with forest, and take a small part of forest home. The Embassy in Riga, at 1 Vaiņodes Street, is open on weekdays from 9:00 to 18:00, and on Saturdays from 9:00 to 15:00.
