Forest therapy and the healing powers of nature
Forest bathing or Shin-rin-Yoku is all about experiencing the the therapeutic and relaxing power of the forest.
The act of immersing yourself in a forest to enjoy this effect is called “Forest Bathing”. While it has always been intuitively known, there is little discussion about the physiological mechanisms behind these healing effects.
To give you some ideas for activities one can enjoy while practicing Forest Bathing, there are relaxation techniques such as mindful meditation or yogic breathing in the forest, as well as aromatherapy. Also, physical fitness programs involving forest walking and Nordic walking.
