Mae West, the American movie star who rarely lacked for lifestyle advice, once conceded, âWhen in doubt, take a bath.â She didnât have a forest setting in mind. But did you know that forest bathing might be just as therapeutic as a soak in the suds?
Some people gravitate, even in unfavourable weather, to the outdoors. Others are most comfortable in front of the hearth. But a walk in the woods may be just the remedy you could use after months of confinement at home. A glimpse into the research surrounding this little-known âforest bathingâ therapy offers insights on benefits including improved cardiovascular function, brain activity, immune systems, self-esteem, and reduced anxiety and depression.
Jason Lajoie closes his eyes as he is guided in a sensory experience during a forest therapy walk, also known as forest bathing, at Bear Creek Regional Park in Colorado Springs on Saturday, April 10, 2021. Forest bathing, or shinrin-yoku, is a practice that began in Japan in the 1980’s. “We are bathing in the atmosphere of the forest; it is a sensory experience,” said Summer Lajoie, certified forest therapy guide. Lajoie first learned about forest bathing when she was experiencing postpartum depression and anxiety after having her second son. She started practicing mindfulness outdoors with nature to heal and through this practice she then decided to become a certified forest therapy guide. (Chancey Bush/ The Gazette)
