Have you ever bathed in the forest? No? But you should, for the sake of your health. We asked you what exactly forest bathing is, what benefits it can bring, how to do it properly and, above all, what has been scientifically proven.

"The forest is a great resource for relaxation," says forest bathing trainer Ulli Felber. "I consciously use it to calm down. I find it wonderful: you are far away from everyday life, have time to think, reflect and it is impressive to see how nature changes from day to day" - as well as your own current state of health.
