Seniors practice forest bathing for better mental health

Season 2025 Episode 87 | 2m 17s | CC

Forest bathing was inspired by the Japanese practice shinrin-yoku, which emerged in the 1980s to address the mental health issues their country’s population faced when they switched from an agrarian way of life to an industrialized society. One study found that phytoncides, a chemical released by trees, are receptive by humans and decrease the production of stress hormones.
