Forests heal
For thousands of years our ancestors hunted, gathered, and survived in the wilderness. Endless grasslands, dense forests and vast stretches of green were an integral part of a place we called home.
But in today’s world, the green spaces are replaced by urban structures, crowded places and polluted environments. This rapid change puts an unwanted pressure on our body and mind. As a result we have seen that anxiety, stress, depression, burnout, chronic illnesses and other ailments are on the rise. Also as a society, there is an increase in anger, addictions, intolerance, apathy, and loneliness.
Countries around the world are uncovering scientific proof about nature’s healing effects. Japan and South Korea have even created many healing forests where they practice forest bathing or healing forest walks. For our overloaded minds and overworked bodies, nature can yield surprising results. Let’s see what the forests can do for you.
