Not just to heal those affected physically and mentally but also as preventative healthcare.&nbsp; We have seen a rise in general appreciation for natural remedies and therapies during the pandemic; humans instinctively know that being in nature is good for us.&nbsp; During the lockdown in England in 2020, a survey showed 85% of adults reported that being in nature makes them happy and those who visited natural space in the last 7 days reported being happier than those that hadn&#8217;t.*<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: left;\">There is a wealth of research from around the world, particularly Japan, which proves that being in a forest, or wooded area, really can have a healing effect.&nbsp; It has been shown that trees and plants in these environments release antimicrobial essential oils, called phytoncides.&nbsp; Phytoncides protect plants from germs and have a host of health benefits for people. These oils can boost our mood and immune system function, they have been shown to normalise blood pressure and heart rate, as well as improve stress, anxiety, concentration, sleep and stimulate creativity.&nbsp; There is some evidence that they may even help fight cancer and depression.&nbsp; In some countries like Japan, forest-bathing is already recognised as a clinical therapy and is available on prescription.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Our aim is to replicate the research carried out in Japan&nbsp;<span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\">to provide sufficient clinical data<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;to support Forest Bathing+ being made widely available on prescription by NHS England<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">.

Accordingly, this study reports the strengths and challenges, similarities and differences, and barriers and facilitators for both. Both practices were found to benefit well-being, but the seven practitioners involved in the research revealed key barriers to mindfulness. For vulnerable groups experiencing mental health challenges or difficulties achieving a meditative state, mindfulness may introduce well-being risks. By offering a gentler, more intuitive approach that encourages outward attentional focus, forest bathing was found to overcome this barrier.

A wide range of NVOCs were identified in the forest air including common terpenoids. This type of study has not been performed in a UK semi-ancient, deciduous forest previously and helps to understand the NVOC air composition within this environment. The study also revealed that exposure for 2 h, the typical duration of a Forest bathing session, would be sufficient time for humans to be exposed to NVOCs and potentially benefit from them in terms of NVOCs immune-regulating properties. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/1999-4907\/14\/1\/92\">https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/1999-4907\/14\/1\/92<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-644672c elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"644672c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-860704f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"860704f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Thailand.

and in South Korea, they prescribe forest-bathing sessions on their NHS.&nbsp; &nbsp;It all started in Japan in 1982 when the idea for a national health programme for forest-bathing began.&nbsp; This had a dual purpose.&nbsp; The first was&nbsp;<span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\">was to<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight:

the beautiful, green forests of Japan would have a beneficial effect<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">.&nbsp; The second purpose was to help protect the forests; if people were encouraged to visit forests for their health, they would be more likely to want to protect and look after them.&nbsp; &nbsp;At this time a research programme was started to test their theory that the forests were good for health.&nbsp; Fast forward to today and Forest-bathing has become standard practice in Japan.&nbsp; There are now over 70 designated &#8216;healing forests&#8217; across the country.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
