CLICK TO SEE

Read it if…

you want the science of forest time from its main researcher.

Skip it if…

you live nowhere near trees; some of it still applies.

Three things you will actually use

  1. Two hours among trees changes blood chemistry.
  2. Use all five senses, slowly.
  3. Nature is medicine with no side effects.

Do this first

Spend two hours in a forest without a phone and notice your mood the next day.

Our verdict

Forest bathing, from its researcher.
