What is Shinrin-Yoku?
Popularized in Japan in the 1980s, shinrin-yoku, or “forest bathing,” is the practice of getting back to nature and taking in the atmosphere of the forest. In addition to the sense of calm and restoration that comes from a trip into the forest, shinrin-yoku has been proven to boost the immune system, reduce blood pressure and stress, as well as improve mood.
