Forest Bathing is Healthy

Forest Bathing can be really good for your health! According to Dr. Qing Li’s book “Forest Bathing“, forest bathing can: 

• lower blood pressure
• alleviate stress
• improve the health of your heart and metabolism
• decrease blood sugar levels
• boost concentration and memory
• help with depression
• increase energy
• improve immune system
• increase anticancer protein production
• help with losing weight 

For me personally, I definitely have experienced the positive effects on stress, depression, and energy. When life gets hairy, I go for a walk in the woods and it helps. Still I need to learn how to develop a more consistent forest bathing practice!
