I love this post UK Reiki Federation! I’m so happy to say that I lead Forest bathing walks Combe Grove on the metabolic health retreats. 💚
Continuing our series of sustainable health care posts:
How often do you visit a forest? Aside from the enjoyment and visual stimulation of being closer to nature, there are genuine health benefits in regular visits to forests, known as forest bathing.
Have you ever heard the term phytoncides? You'd be forgiven if you haven't. Think of them as tree essential oils that have medicinal properties. They are one of the main benefits of forest bathing.
Studies have shown that if you visit forests regularly you could experience health benefits including reducing stress levels and boosting immune function, as well improvements to a range of other lifestyle-induced illnesses.
Our tip number 12 is to try forest bathing. Get outside and breathe in the fresh phytoncide-filled air. It's a fantastic way to promote your health and wellbeing.
