Forest Bathing

Forest Bathing WikiThere are plenty of opportunities for Forest Bathing at Mosswood.  Here are a few interesting articles about the practice that, when compared to walking in an urban environment, is said to “yield a 12.4 percent decrease in the stress hormone cortisol, a seven percent decrease in sympathetic nerve activity, a 1.4 percent decrease in blood pressure, and a 5.8 percent decrease in heart rate. On subjective tests, study participants also report better moods and lower anxiety,” (Outside Online).

Below, is another article, in the Atlantic, on the practice of Forest Bathing.
