news article Forest bathing in the Black Forest

Stress reduction through nature experiences – "forest bathing" or Shinrin-yoku (Japanese for "bathing in the forest air") is a method of stress reduction that originated in Japan in the early 1980s and is even prescribed by doctors there as a preventive health measure. It involves an extraordinary stay in the forest, engaging all the senses and consciously experiencing nature. To achieve this, various techniques are used to deliberately slow down in and with nature. It is a special form of wellness that you can experience here in the Black Forest.

The positive effect of forest bathing on the human nervous, hormonal, and immune systems has been proven in numerous studies. For example, terpenes and essential oils activate the formation of white blood cells, so that after a long walk in the forest, around 50 percent more of them can be detected in the blood.

Focus on the essentials. Give a specific topic more space step by step and receive valuable inspiration at the same time. Hear your inner voice again in the silence of the forest and reflect on your own being. Recognize and embark on new paths. That's exactly what nature coaching is all about. Let yourself be inspired, especially when you have decisions to make in your life.
