WHAT IS FOREST IMMERSION?
Forest Immersion, Forest Bathing, Forest Therapy—
these terms may differ,
but they all share the same purpose:
a holistic approach to health and well-being,
designed to restore our lost connection with nature.
Rooted in the Japanese practice of
Forest Bathing (Shinrin-Yoku) and
Forest Therapy (Sylvotherapy),
it involves immersing yourself in nature mindfully
and is a scientifically proven way to reduce stress, enhance mood, and revitalise both body and mind.
For thousands of years,
our ancestors lived in harmony with the natural world, fostering a deep connection with the land...
​The landscapes were more than just surroundings—they were home, shaping the way of life and overall well-being.​
But today, as towering buildings replace trees and digital screens replace sunsets, we’ve become increasingly disconnected from nature. ​
This shift has taken a toll on our well-being, contributing to rising stress, anxiety, burnout and chronic illness.
On a broader level, society faces growing challenges—more anger, addiction, apathy and loneliness.
​
​Forest Immersion is a holistic approach to health and wellbeing, designed to restore this lost connection.
A BREIF HISTORY OF
FOREST IMMERSION....
Forest Immersion, also known as Forest Bathing (Shinrin-Yoku), was developed in Japan in the 1980s as a response to rising stress levels caused by overwork and urban living.
​
Recognising the profound health benefits of time spent in nature, the Japanese government officially introduced Forest Bathing as a preventative healthcare practice.
​
Scientific studies confirmed its ability to
-
Reduce Stress
-
Lower Blood Pressure
-
Improve Cardiovascular
-
Mental Health.
​
Today, Japanese healthcare providers prescribe Forest Bathing as a complementary therapy for conditions such as anxiety, depression, and chronic stress.
BACKED BY SCIENCE
Immune Function
Trees release phytoncides,
the natural antimicrobial compounds
- which have been found to increase the activity of natural killer (NK) cells.
​
NK Cells are a type of white blood cell that helps fight infections & cancer.
Mycobacterium Vaccae
This beneficial bacterium found in soil, is often called the "happiness bacterium", because it stimulates the production of serotonin, the "happiness hormone."
​
This powerful neurotransmitter plays a key role in elevating mood, enhancing memory, & even supporting a healthy libido!
Negative Ions
Negative ions are abundant in the fresh air of the forest.
​
These naturally occurring particles reduce stress, enhance mood, and boost vitality by improving oxygen absorption and balancing serotonin levels.
