Incorporating forest bathing trips into a good lifestyle was first proposed in 1982 by the Forest Agency of Japan. It has now become a recognized relaxation and stress management activity in Japan. It is also becoming a craze in other parts of the world.<\/p>\n<p>For 24 hours in the forest it is confirmed to give a positive impact to our system, which results in healthy quality of life. Hundreds of field studies and research have proved that it improves physical and mental health.<\/p>\n<p>Its where we belong, going back to Nature. So lets leave urban forest once in a while and visit a real forest.
