Who would have guessed that taking a walk in the woods may be beneficial to one's health? Although the practice of forest bathing dates back centuries, its health benefits are just now being recognised by scientists. The body needs the calm, serene atmosphere of the forest to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Because of this, it may readily lower stress, elevate mood, and strengthen the immune system. It has been demonstrated that the body's natural killer cells, which aid in the defence against infections, benefit from the fragrant oils released by trees, a phenomenon known as phytoncides. Naturalist Kamil Pyciak delves deeper into the health benefits of forest bathing, explaining what it involves and how to reap its full benefits.
