Discovering Health and Happiness Through Forest Bathing: A Journey into Shinrin Yoku
Manage episode 373123934 series 3453883
In this episode of The Modern Vital Podcast, the focus is on the Japanese practice of Shinrin yoku, or forest bathing. And the special guest is Dr. Cyndi Gilbert, a naturopathic doctor and author of the book, "Forest Bathing: Discovering Health and Happiness Through the Japanese Practice of Shinrin Yoku." Dr. Cyndi shares insights into the concept of forest bathing, which involves immersing oneself in nature, connecting with living things, and finding health and happiness in the process. Forest bathing is not a new idea and has been a part of indigenous cultures for ages. The practice has numerous benefits for physical and mental health, from improved immune system activity to reduced stress and better cognitive performance.
Dr. Cyndi emphasizes the importance of spending time outdoors and being surrounded by nature for better well-being. She discusses individualized prescriptions and suggests aiming for at least two hours of outdoor time per week. The episode also delves into the healing properties of nature, such as essential oils from trees that improve breathing and reduce inflammation. Dr. Cyndi encourages listeners to reconnect with the land, acknowledging that forest bathing can be a form of stewardship, leading to a more respectful and healthy relationship with the environment and its inhabitants.
