Have you ever heard of forest bathing? According to scientists, a walk in the forest can reduce stress, anxiety, depression and anger, boost the immune system, improve cardiovascular and metabolic health, and enhance our overall well-being. This is the magical power of nature: wherever there are trees, people are healthier and happier. The sounds of the forest, the scent of trees and earth, the sun's rays penetrating the branches, the rustling of leaves and the fresh air soothe our tension and worries, ease stress and help us focus on the present, relax and think more clearly. What lies behind the healing properties of the forest?
It has long been acknowledged that humans have a biological need for contact with nature. Essentially, the healing power of trees lies in two elements: the higher concentration of oxygen found in forests compared to an urban environment, and the presence of specialized volatile plant chemicals, which are part of the plants' defence system against bacteria, insects and fungi. According to scientists, exposure to these compounds has measurable beneficial properties for humans: it reduces stress and lowers blood pressure and heart rate.
