*Forest Bathing is the English translation of the Japanese term “Shinrin-Yoku”. Forest bathing is mindful, easy, slow walking and sitting in a forest in silence and quiet. People “bathe” in the sights, smells and surroundings. The positive effects of relaxation and body healing have been scientifically studied and verified. In Japan there are over 40 certified Shinrin-Yoku forests.
