■ Soejima Isao Shoten Domestic Production

Approximately 80-90% of the rush available on the market is cultivated overseas, and in most cases, the cultivation methods and pesticide usage are unclear. Soejima Isao Shoten products use 100% domestic healthy rush cultivated with minimal pesticide use.

Benefits of Rush
[Mold and Antibacterial Properties]
Can suppress the proliferation of substances harmful to the human body to some extent. It has the effect of suppressing the growth of bacteria such as E. coli O-157, Legionella bacteria which cause pneumonia, and microorganisms that produce rot odor on the soles of the feet.
*Please note that this is different from sterilization, which kills bacteria.

[Dehumidifying and Moisturizing Properties]
Absorbs moisture when humidity is high and releases it when humidity is low.

[Air Purification Capability]
Adsorbs and removes harmful substances in the air, such as ammonia, which causes odor, and formaldehyde, which causes sick house syndrome.

[Sound Absorption]
Rush has a sponge-like structure. Therefore, it has elasticity and absorbs sounds such as footsteps. If laid on the second floor, it can reduce the sound that echoes to the first floor.

[Relaxation Effect]
The scent of rush contains vanillin, which is also found in vanilla essence. This is said to have a calming effect on the mind and spirit.
