Why Forest Therapy Can Be Good for Your Body and Mind - Cleveland Clinic
Time among the trees may help improve your health
Many people enjoy spending time in nature. But did you know that time among the trees is therapeutic? Forest therapy is a growing practice that promises benefits for your mind and your body.
It can help you relax and refuel — and give you a break from the devices, worries and stress that can dominate your daily life.
What is forest bathing?
Forest therapy is rooted in the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku, which is often translated as “forest bathing.” But it’s not a literal bath; the term refers simply to immersing yourself in the atmosphere of the forest.
