Forest Bathing

Forest bathing is the term used to describe the conscious immersion in the unique atmosphere of the forest. We perceive the forest mindfully and with all our senses - in this way, we nourish and strengthen our body, mind, and soul. We are akin to swimming in the green ocean of the forest, gradually sinking deeper into its embrace. Like riding a wave, we allow ourselves to drift and intuitively absorb the healing powers of the forest.
The forest as a place of deceleration and healing
Especially in today's era of constant sensory overload and an ever-accelerating pace, the longing for deceleration and rejuvenation is growing. Intense scent of pine, moss, damp forest floor - the forest, as a special place of power, exerts a strong and healing effect on our psyche and body. Being in the forest benefits us, something we sense intuitively. The forest grounds us, bestows strength, vitality, relaxation, serenity, and inner peace. Furthermore, forest bathing bolsters the immune system and the body's resilience. The cardiovascular system and musculoskeletal system also profit from forest bathing. Especially in psychologically demanding situations, times of stress, as well as in cases of depression and anxiety disorders, forest baths are helpful.
