Phytoncide bath
Trees emit an active chemical called phytoncides which increases the production of natural killer cells in the human body that fights infections and cancerous cells. Phytoncide is the trees’ natural defence against pests, bacteria, and fungi, and it turns out to be beneficial to the human immune system, lowering blood pressure and stress hormone (cortisol) and improving mood and sleep quality. Many trees such as pine, cypress, eucalyptus, camphor and many others also emit scents that are known to have a relaxing effect on the body. Breathing in the forest is essential to the regular health of the body.
Soil
Increasing evidence is emerging on how earthing (direct touch with the ground) can help to neutralize the charge in the body, reducing fatigue, stress, inflammation and improving sleep. Microbes in the soil are also proven to train the immune system to distinguish between harmful and harmless agents, reducing the occurrence of allergies and immune disorders. By wearing shoes outdoors, there is separation and insulation between the body and the earth, removing the opportunity for the body to receive these “nutrients” from the earth.

Bird songs & nature melodies
Nature sounds especially water, wind & bird songs, have been proven to induce relaxation and calmness and improve cognitive abilities. The presence of birds typically signals the absence of predators and hence safety in the forest, naturally triggering the rest & repair mode of the nervous system. This helps to release the stress and tension stored in the body and regulates anxiety. In contrast to the chaotic noise of the city such as car horns, construction sounds or even phone notifications, the forest songs offer the body tranquillity and peace.

Phytoncides
Phytocides are volatile organic compounds emitted by plants, such as trees and shrubs. These natural chemicals have been found to have a range of beneficial effects on human health. When we breathe in the air in a forest, we inhale these phytocides, which can have a positive impact on our immune system, reduce stress levels, and improve overall well-being.
