| Forest Bathing | A term coined in Japan, is the act of calmly walking through a forest for one's health. On an intuitive level, we know that nature takes us away from the pressures and pollution of city living, and fresh air, sunlight and exercise are greatly beneficial.

New evidence is emerging that there are microscopic processes taking place. When in the forest, we are coming into contact with countless beneficial microbes that we absorb through our skin, lungs and guts. In addition, phytoncides (plant compounds) given off by trees have been shown to, when ingested, reduce stress therefore improving gut function.

Countless books, scientific studies, blog posts and news articles on Forest Bathing's postive effects on our immune system, mood and gut health are changing the way we relate to nature. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
