FOREST BATHING

For centuries, humans have known the restorative benefits of being in nature

The sounds of the forest, the scent of the earth, the sunlight playing through the leaves, and the fresh clean air give us a sense of comfort.

They ease our stress and worry and help us relax and think clearly.

Connecting with nature through our senses of sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch can restore our mood, give us back our energy and vitality, and refresh and rejuvenate us.

Forest bathing, also known as Shinrin-yoku, is the Japanese practice of immersing oneself in nature, specifically forests, for the purpose of improving one’s physical and mental health.

It has become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason.

Studies have shown that spending time in nature, particularly among trees, can have a positive impact on our wellbeing.

In this article, we will explore the benefits of forest bathing and how it can promote wellbeing.
