Shinrin – yoku you ask?
Shinrin – yoku is a term that means “taking in the forest atmosphere” or “forest bathing”.
It was developed in Japan during the 1980’s and has become a cornerstone of preventive health care and healing in Japanese medicine.
Researchers have established a robust body of scientific literature on the health benefits of spending time in a living forest.
The idea is simple: if a person simply visits a natural area there are calming, rejuvenating and restorative benefits to be achieved.
It’s very simple
Abe’s Trail Trek = Shinrin – yoku
