Forest Bathing
Forest Bathing also known as Shinrin-Yoku is a technique used to calm the nervous system of the human body using green spaces and natural environments without the direct interference of modern technology. Forest bathing consists of spending a long-period of time (between 30 minutes to hours) in a natural setting such as a green space or a natural environment. Green spaces and natural environments have been known to stimulate endorphins throughout the body. This technique was first used in Japan in 1982 to combat stress. This technique is used today throughout the world and prescribed by therapists as a way to calm the body.

Forest Bathing has been linked to the Biophilia hypothesis which states that there is an "innate connection with nature" and that being outdoors brings us closer to our true selves. Forest Bathing is a widely-accepted technique of managing stress, anxiety, depression, nature-deficit disorder, and attention deficit disorder.
