What is forest bathing?

No, we don't have a sauna and no, you can't go swimming anywhere either. "Forest bathing" or shinrin-yoku comes from Japan, where it has been a popular form of therapy for decades.

How forest bathing works

Forest bathing means being very aware of your surroundings with all your senses.

This lowers blood pressure, reduces your heart rate and naturally lowers stress hormones.
