"I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees." - Henry David Thoreau

From Thoreau and Nietzsche to Aristotle, history's greatest thinkers have long celebrated the healing power of the natural world. But forest bathing is more than just a walk in the woods - it's the mindful practice of reconnecting with nature through your senses, and The Healing Power of Trees is here to show you how.

This beautifully crafted guide reveals the unparalleled health benefits of the great outdoors, with the experts at The Forest Bathing Institute leading you on a journey of healing. Recent research shows that just 15 minutes outside can enhance mood, concentration, and physical health - imagine the therapeutic benefits of embracing the increasingly popular practice of forest bathing.

With practical guidance and advice on addressing key challenges such as:

  • Lifting depression
  • Lowering stress
  • Improving energy levels
  • Boosting your immune system

This book is an essential gift or self-purchase for anyone ready to reconnect with nature.

The Forest Bathing Institute has spent years collaborating with universities and government to research the benefits of this practice and train practitioners to share them. Now, its founders present their unique method in this stunning guide.

Packed with expert insights and captivating photography, The Healing Power of Trees not only helps you plan your next forest-bathing trip but also brings the restorative power of nature into your home.
