Shinrin-Yoku (Forest Bathing) and Nature Therapy: A State-of-the-Art Review

Margaret HansenReo JonesKirsten Tocchini

Abstract

Human health benefits associated with the immersion in nature continue to be currently researched. Longitudinal research, conducted worldwide, is needed to produce new evidence of the relationships associated with Shinrin-Yoku and clinical therapeutic effects. Nature therapy as a health-promotion method and potential universal health model is implicated for the reduction of reported modern-day "stress-state" and "technostress.".
