Forest Bathing: tra fascino e scienza

In this video, I traveled to Barcis (PN) and literally immersed myself in its beautiful woods to talk to you about a truly fascinating topic: forest bathing. This practice, born in Japan, has been a trend for several years now, first in America, then in Europe, and is slowly gaining ground in Italy as well. Certified itineraries for rediscovering well-being through woodland walks are increasingly being developed, while science is discovering, day after day, the incredible therapeutic benefits of this universal practice. Immersing yourself in the woods not only captivates you with the allure of the colors, sounds, and smells that can make you forget the frenetic pace of the city, but you also come into contact with incredible substances, produced by trees, that truly make you feel better. Hoping to have piqued your curiosity, I'll leave you with some ideas for learning more about this incredible topic! 1) To learn more about the beneficial relationship between humans and nature, I'll leave you with the link to my thesis, which also contains extensive literature on the topic! https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/9539/1/ri... 2) To learn more about ART, the attention restoration theory: https://positivepsychology.com/attent... 3) To learn more about monoterpenes... https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/... ...and their beneficial effects: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti... https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/1... https://www.springer.com/journal/43188 4) To find out where the forest bathing trails I mentioned are located and perhaps to book a tour An Alternative Honeymoon: http://www.oasizegna.com/it/esperienz... http://www.spiaggiadiffusa.it/stazion... 5) Articles and books on the topic https://www.theguardian.com/environme...
