Strengthening with the help of nature

Forest bathing has long been a recognised form of therapy in Japan, and is even covered by health insurance as part of preventive health care. The stress-reducing effect of spending time in the forest has been scientifically proven, as has the lowering of cortisol levels and the positive effect on blood pressure and pulse. The overall stress level is lowered and that as we know, causes a positive psychological change.

Forest bathing – a walk and conscious awareness of the surrounding nature.
