What is forest bathing? Here's how it can lower stress and boost immunity

This is actually a nature-based wellness ritual that's been popular in Japan for decades—and it comes with a whole host of benefits. The benefits of shinrin-yoku, as the practice is known in Japan, include boosted mood, eased stress levels, and a strengthened immune system.
