Discover the healing magic of
Forest Bathing
Sometimes, a simple walk in woodlands, where you can immerse yourself in the sound of birds, the scent of the trees, the satisfying crunch of fallen leaves and twigs underfoot, is the perfect remedy for reducing stress and reconnecting to yourself.

A guided walk in the forest
Today’s busy lives can have a significant impact on our mental and physical wellbeing. If you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle for a while, why not try forest bathing? Despite the name you won’t need to pack your swimsuit: it simply means the practice of slowing down and immersing yourself in the forest atmosphere.
The science behind forest bathing
Forest bathing or ‘shinrin-yoku’ was first developed in Japan in the 1980s, following scientific studies conducted by the government. The results showed that two hours of mindful exploration in a forest could reduce blood pressure, lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol and improve concentration and memory.
They also found that trees release chemicals called phytoncides, which have a protective antimicrobial effect on human bodies and therefore boost the immune system. As a result of this research, the Japanese government introduced ‘shinrin-yoku’ as a national health programme.
