Forest Bathing, or Shinrin-Yoku in Japanese, is a practice that consists of immersing oneself in the woods or forests for therapeutic and well-being purposes. Originating in Japan, this practice focuses on the sensory experience and absorption of the forest atmosphere to promote relaxation, reduce stress and improve overall well-being. During a Forest Bathing session, people completely immerse themselves in the surrounding nature, abandoning themselves to the sounds, smells and visual beauty of trees, flowers, streams and animals. This may involve activities such as walking slowly through the forest, sitting quietly under a tree, listening to the sounds of nature, or even doing meditation exercises. The beneficial effects of Forest Bathing have been supported by numerous scientific studies, which have demonstrated

that spending time in nature can reduce blood pressure, improve mood, increase creativity and strengthen the immune system. This practice has become increasingly popular around the world as a way to reconnect with nature and improve mental and physical well-being.
