Forest Bathing

🌳🌳🌳

Nature's prescription to reduce stress and combat chronic illness

Forest bathing, or bathing in nature, may not be what you think. It’s not using waterfalls for nature showers, though that could be part of it; and it’s not using roots, flowers, or leaves from trees for bathing with, though that’s a common forest bathing practice in Asia. It is more than that. To bathe in the forest or nature means to bask in it. Your five senses take it in. You smell the flowers; you taste the wild blackberries; you see the tall and magnificent trees, some of which may have been there for centuries. You hear the sounds of nature around you, from the cicada’s tymbal to the birds chirping, and the frogs croaking. You feel the forest deep within your soul. It is transforming.
