What does this forest bath do for you?
Forest Bathing comes from the Japanese shinrin yoku, which means 'lush residence under the trees'. It has aspects reminiscent of mindfulness, but is more outward-oriented than inward. Shinrin Yoku is a proven method to lower heart rate and blood pressure, reduce stress, boost the immune system and improve your overall well-being. Forest bathing helps you heal yourself – and also your environment. To give your true self back its guiding power in your life.
