Learn all about this wonderful therapy, which has been scientifically proven to boost your immune system, reduce stress, increase energy, unleash creativity, decrease anxiety, enhance memory, and improve sleep (to name just a few). Frauke explains why we humans are meant to be in nature, what we can learn from our ancestors and indigenous people, and shares a few of the studies that confirm what we already know. She takes you through what forest therapy is all about and explains how to use each of your five senses to bathe in nature's beauty for benefit.
