Shinrin Yoku is the Japanese term for forest bathing. A 'forest bath' is the simple yet healing practice of immersing oneself in nature. It is a mindful activity; using the senses to connect fully to the natural environment. The benefits of forest bathing are part due to the essential oils that are derived from plants, called phytoncides. Air borne chemicals with anti fungal and anti bacterial qualities that protect trees from germs and insects. When we breathe in forest air, fortified with phytoncides, our immune system functions are improved and the number & activity of white blood cells (the fighter cells in our body that kill viruses and tumours) are increased.
