In the heart of the forest lies a secret to wellness and serenity, a practice deeply rooted in Japanese culture yet universal in its appeal. "Forest Bathing" by Dr. Qing Li unveils the transformative power of Shinrin-Yoku—a mindful immersion into the woodland's embrace. Through this enchanting guide, Dr. Li, a pioneer in Forest Medicine, invites readers to explore the symbiotic relationship between humans and trees. With compelling evidence and personal anecdotes, he demonstrates how the simple act of being amongst trees can fortify our health, elevate our happiness, and instill a profound sense of calm. Dr. Li's narrative transcends a mere prescription for outdoor excursions; it is a journey into the soul of nature and its healing capabilities. He meticulously details how forest bathing can lower stress levels, enhance immune functions, and even contribute to weight loss, among other benefits. Beyond the scientific, the book offers practical advice for integrating Shinrin-Yoku into daily life, from garden walks to incorporating plant life and essential tree oils into one’s living space. "Forest Bathing" is not just a reading experience—it's a call to rediscover the nourishing and restorative connection we share with the natural world.

I basically read this entire book [...] and decided to buy a few of these essential oils and use them. - Kevin Rose
The best way to deal with stress at work is to go for a forest bath. I go for shinrin-yoku every lunchtime. You don’t need a forest; any small green space will do. Leave your cup of coffee and your phone behind and just walk slowly. You don’t need to exercise, you just need to open your senses to nature. It will improve your mood, reduce tension and anxiety, and help you focus and concentrate for the rest of the day.
— Dr. Qing Li, Forest Bathing
