nature for wellness
Shinrin-Yoku is a Japanese term that translates to ‘forest bathing’ or taking in
the forest atmosphere through all of the senses.” The Japanese have been
practicing Shinrin - Yoku since the early 80s. A national nature therapy health
program was launched in Japan in 1982 after Japanese researchers discover the
science behind the health benefits of walking and spending time in nature. Our
Society has become fast-paced, and often hectic. The World Health Organisation
[WHO] calls stress the health epidemic of the twenty-first century. Wellness
Practices such as "Forest Bathing" can help us become detached from the
businesses of life and the overload of the digital world.
