- Summary:
- "In an increasingly urbanised world, the need to reconnect with nature is more important than ever. Originating from Japan, shinrin-yoku (forest bathing) is a therapeutic invitation to immerse oneself in the embrace of the woods and wild places. Cover both the philosophy and the practicalities, this is an evidence-based guide for practitioners seeking to increase their ecological awareness, explore the mental, emotional, and immunological healing capabilities of shinrin-yoku, and learn how to incorporate it into their practice."--Page [4] of cover.
