In case you missed it, forest bathing is a form of stress-reducing therapy that first began in Japan (called \u2018shinrin-yoku\u2019) and is taking off all over the US. No bathing suit required here \u2013 all you need is a little bit of time to play in the woods.<\/p>\n

Recent Japanese research shows that this is, in fact, medicine that works. A study of forest walkers, ages mid-30s to mid-70s, showed a reduction in systolic blood pressure from 141 mmHg to 134 mmHg after an afternoon in the forest. In other words, more chill. Considering that the US sinks $190 billion into stress-related health care costs, forest bathing could save beaucoup bucks.<\/p>\n
