FOREST BATHING

LIVING IN NATURE

Forest Bathing, or Shinrin-Yoku is a practice born in Japan in 1982, where it is officially recognised for the prevention and in some cases the cure of some illnesses. This method envisages immersion in natural environments with specific characteristics, one of which is a high level of biodiversity, so principally in complex forests, using all our senses.

Scientific research has proved that this practice brings multiple benefits to our health, both mental and physical, ever-increasingly put to the test by a frenetic and stressful life style, due to an existence which is dominated more and more by technology, by urbanization and by anthropic presence. The practice of Forest Bathing brings the human being to reinstate an empathic relationship with nature and thus to have an attitude of care and protection of the environment, in conclusion biophilia, literally love for nature.

Forest Bathing puts us back in touch with our origins, cleanses us from sensorial and emotive pollution, takes us away from all that is artificial and back to all that is life.
