One of the ways to do this, which is gaining popularity in the Carpathians, is the Japanese system of Shinrin-yoku, or “forest bathing”.</p></div></div><p>Shinrin-yoku is a Japanese practice that involves spending time in the forest to improve physical and mental health. Literally, the term translates to “bathing in the forest”. The idea is to enjoy nature by slowly walking through the forest, breathing in the clean air, and immersing yourself in the tranquil forest world.</p><h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-benefits-of-shinrin-yoku">Benefits of Shinrin-yoku</h2><p>Scientific studies have shown that Shinrin-yoku has many beneficial effects:</p><div class="wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile" style="grid-template-columns:auto 19%"><div class="wp-block-media-text__content"><p>Reducing stress levels: Walking in the forest helps to reduce the level of cortisol, a stress hormone.<br>Improving immunity: Forest air contains phytoncides – substances released by plants.
