DURATION AND FREQUENCY

According to an English study, people who spend at least 120 minutes each week in nature are 59% more likely to feel healthy and 23% more likely to feel good than others.

The benefits of a forest bath are felt from the very first bath. As the baths progress, the practice becomes more fluid. The disconnection from our daily worries and the reconnection to ourselves and the forest becomes faster and deeper.

 

We recommand one forest bath per month, or at least one per season.
