Forest baths: The Healing Power of Nature
In our modern, busy world, connecting with nature often gets pushed into the background. Yet that connection offers a powerful means to unwind and improve our health. Forest bathing, also known as shinrin-yoku, is a practice that makes the healing power of nature accessible through mindful and relaxing walks in the forest.
What is Forest Bathing?
Forest bathing literally means ‘bathing in the atmosphere of the forest’. It is not about physical exertion, but about being present in nature with attention. Slowing down, opening your senses and consciously taking in the tranquillity of the forest creates space for relaxation, reflection and recovery.
The benefits of forest bathing
Reduces stress: The forest lowers your cortisol levels, heart rate and blood pressure, making you feel relaxed.
Strengthens immune system: Research shows that the natural substances given off by trees and plants strengthen your immune system.
Enhances mental clarity: The silence and tranquillity of nature help calm your mind and promote creativity and focus.
Stimulates well-being and happiness: Time in nature increases feelings of happiness and connectedness, improving your overall well-being.
