'I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees.' – Henry David Thoreau
From Thoreau and Nietzsche to Aristotle, history’s greatest thinkers have long celebrated the healing power of the natural world. But forest bathing is more than just a walk in the woods – it’s the mindful practice of reconnecting with nature through your senses, and The Healing Power of Trees is here to show you how.
Recent research shows that just 15 minutes outside can enhance mood, concentration and physical health. This beautifully crafted guide reveals the unparalleled health benefits of the great outdoors, with the experts at The Forest Bathing Institute leading you on a journey of healing through forest bathing.
