Forest Bathing
On the shore of Lake Schwarzsee.
Forest bathing, originally comes from Japan and simply means immersing yourself in the forest atmosphere with all your senses. It is not a sporting activity but a mindful form of walking in which you consciously take in the scents, sounds, and colors of nature. During this process, terpenes – natural messenger substances from trees – are absorbed through the skin and respiratory system, having scientifically proven positive effects on the body and mind. Forest bathing reduces stress, strengthens the immune system, and restores natural balance.
5 reasons why forest bathing boosts your health
#1 Stress Reduction & Relaxation
The peaceful atmosphere of the forest lowers cortisol levels and helps you leave everyday stress behind. The gentle sounds of leaves and birds have a calming effect and promote inner tranquility.
#2 Strengthening the Immune System
The terpenes released in the forest stimulate the production of immune cells and thus strengthen the immune system. Just a few hours in the forest can significantly improve the body's defenses over the long term.
#3 Lowering Blood Pressure & Heart Rate
The harmonious surroundings of the forest have a scientifically proven positive effect on the cardiovascular system. Regular forest bathing can help lower blood pressure and relieve the heart.
#4 Mood Enhancement & Burnout Prevention
The nature around Schwarzsee acts as a natural mood booster. Studies show that spending time in the forest can significantly reduce depression, anxiety, and exhaustion.
#5 Increased Vitality & Better Quality of Life
The fresh air, the greenery of the trees, and the calming environment promote overall well-being and enhance the joy of life. Those who spend regular time in the forest feel more refreshed and full of energy.
