Episode #21: Forest bathing in Cornwall

  • Summary

  • The Japanese practice of 'Shinrin Yoku' or 'forest bathing' has been shown to bring you calm, boosting physical and mental health. It’s all about walking slowly through woods, without hurry, and soaking up the atmosphere.

    In today’s episode we’ll find out about forest bathing by speaking to a practitioner, Paul Simmons, based in Cornwall. From Devichoys Woods nature reserve, Paul tells us how forest bathing reduces stress and blood pressure, whilst boosting immunity, improving mood, and increasing sleep.

    To find out more about Paul's work, visit the Forest Bathing Cornwall website.
