Forest Bathing: How Trees Can Help You Find Health and Happiness
Description
The definitive–and by far the most popular–guide to the therapeutic Japanese
practice of shinrin-yoku, or the art and science of how trees can promote
health and happiness Notice how a tree sways in the wind. Run your hands over
its bark. Take in its citrusy scent. As a society we suffer from nature
deficit disorder, but studies have shown that spending mindful, intentional
time around trees–what the Japanese call shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing–can
promote health and happiness. In this beautiful book–featuring more than 100
color photographs from forests around the world, including the forest therapy
trails that criss-cross Japan–Dr. Qing Li, the world’s foremost expert in
forest medicine, shows how forest bathing can reduce your stress levels and
blood pressure, strengthen your immune and cardiovascular systems, boost your
energy, mood, creativity, and concentration, and even help you lose weight and
live longer. Once you’ve discovered the healing power of trees, you can lose
yourself in the beauty of your surroundings, leave everyday stress behind, and
reach a place of greater calm and wellness. Read more Read less
