Herbarium Festival 2024 was amazing!

Between 13th and 26th May 2024, the second edition of the largest festival dedicated to the art and science of plant processing from ancient times took place. We discovered together herbalists, and sauna experts, as well as products based on plants from the most skilled creators and exhibitors!

Together, we discovered over 350 new rituals with ancient plants

Carefully gathered from the hills of Bucovina, the forests of Scandinavia, the gardens of my grandmother in Naples, or from the hills of Japan, the plants, leaves, and roots came to heal once again at Therme Bucharest. Between 13th and 26th May 2024, we enjoyed together a unique experience, where the magic of plants reconnected us with the force of nature in dozens of rituals and sauna experiences with medicinal plants from ancient times.

Together, we lived through 14 days full of rituals and over 350 new experiences with plants from ancient times, alongside over 45 international herbal masters, experts in aromatherapy, phytotherapy, and holistic therapy from 17 countries: Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, South Korea, Denmark, Estonia, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, Norway, the Netherlands, Slovenia, the United States of America, Ukraine, and Romania. You enjoyed hundreds of experiences with beneficial plants, such as aufguss sessions, infusions with fresh plants, hammam rituals, shamanic rituals, smoke purification, sauna yoga, meditation sessions, smudging rituals, birch broom cleansing rituals, sauna yoga, wet saunas with exercises for facial muscles, rituals accompanied by breathing exercises, meditation sessions, smoke purification, exfoliation sessions, aufguss sessions with the Japanese tea ceremony, or traditional banya sauna.

It snowed heavily at the Herbarium! The Snow Room was a unique experience!

You were among the first to experience a unique sensation in the Snow Room, at approximately -2°C!

For the first time in Romania, at this year's Herbarium Festival, you had the chance to step from the dry sauna (at over +60°C) directly into the Snow Room, at -2°C, to feel a refreshing surge of energy with numerous health benefits.

The transition from heat to cold stimulates blood circulation, accelerates metabolism, and strengthens the immune system.
