Forest bathing and Mindfulness in the trees – “Shinrin -yoku”

Shinrin-yoku is the Japanese term for ‘forest bathing’ or immersing oneself in the atmosphere of the forest, for relaxation and wellbeing. The practice has many benefits with science showing it can aid sleep, reduce cortisol levels, lowers blood pressure, boost immune system, helps brain cognition and creativity and improves mood. Lastly, in Monchique you can find plenty of “big 3” trees for forest bathing (Pine, eucalyptus and cork).
