Mention the phrase forest bathing to anyone and you ll invariably hear someone enthuse about their favourite spa or bath hidden in the bush. However, while I m all for soaking it in, that s not, by definition, forest bathing.
Confused yet? Let me explain. Forest bathing is the act of replenishing one s mental health by going for a nature walk. We can thank the Japanese for the term, which was coined it in the early 80s as an antidote to fast-paced urban lifestyles. Since then, a growing body of research has demonstrated the profound positive effects of shinrin-yoku on our mental and physical health.
