Shinrin-yoku: Japanese Forest Bathing
Shinrin-yoku (森林浴, literally 'forest bathing') is a Japanese preventive health practice consisting of immersing oneself in the forest atmosphere using all senses. Launched in 1982 by the Japanese Forestry Agency as a national public health programme, it has since been the subject of over 100 scientific studies demonstrating benefits on immune, cardiovascular and nervous systems.
