Benefits of Forest Bathing
“It seems impossible to have this experience and not feel relaxed and grateful.” - Lisa D.
Forest Therapy is a research-based framework to support wellness and healing between people and nature.
Everyday stress tends to lower our immune function and affect our cardiovascular system.
There is a growing body of research that indicates increased immunity from being in nature, especially being with plants and trees in an attentive, slow experience.
This research also suggests the following possible benefits:
1
Promotes relaxation and a feeling of ease.
3
Research in Japan shows an increase in our NK (natural killer) cells after Forest Bathing. NK cells are a type of white blood cell. This research is promising for fighting unwanted cells in the body like viruses and tumors.
2
Improves cognitive functioning such as problem solving, creative thinking, and decreases short term memory loss up to 20%
4
Improves the cardiovascular system by lowering blood pressure and making the heart and circulatory system work more efficiently.
