Forest Bathing (森林浴: Shinrin-Yoku)
🌲Healing in the forest🌲
What is Forest Bathing?
Forest bathing is based on the Japanese practice,
shinrin-yoku, which can be translated as “taking in the
medicine or atmosphere of the forest.” While forest bathing began in
Japan in the 1980s, it has recently grown more popular worldwide.
Born in response to high levels of work stress and a spike in rates of
autoimmune disease, forest bathing was also adapted to improve the
economy of rural areas that lost people migrating to cities.
Forest bathing has become an eco-friendly, healthy antidote to our
tech-saturated world. It turns out that walking and relaxing in this
type of immersive experience amongst the trees may offer various health
benefits. That's why forest bathing is also called forest therapy.
