Shinrin-yoku or Forest Bathing is a traditional Japanese practice that involves immersing oneself in nature and mindfully engaging all five senses. This practice was introduced by the Japanese government in the 1980s to help urban residents cope with work-related stress. There are currently 60 studies available in the medical database PubMed that are related to Shinrin-yoku. Publications can be divided into the following main areas: health promotion, disease prevention, and treatment. The effects of forest bathing on health include improved cardiac and vascular function, blood pressure-lowering effects, decreased blood glucose levels in diabetic patients, pain reduction, enhanced mental health, benefits for neurological rehabilitation, support for individuals with intellectual disabilities, and potential benefits for COVID-19 recovery. The research draws a parallel with the heritage of Teacher Dunov in forest therapy.
