We all know we should get outside more.

Who hasn't felt better after a walk in the woods, a picnic alfresco or a swim in the sea? But from the Japanese trend for shinrin-yoku (forest bathing) to the Scandinavian philosophy of friluftsliv (open air life), people everywhere are waking up to the fact that spending time in nature has more benefits than you might have thought possible. In Forest Therapy, you will learn how the natural world can help us to be calmer, happier, more energized and even give our immune systems a boost.

From a simple walk in the woods and countryside couples therapy to DIY natural beauty products and how to bring the outdoors to your home, Forest Therapy provides seasonal ideas to help you reconnect with nature. There's something in this book for every- not just outdoorsy types- whether you're a stressed out urban professional or a weary parent dealing with cooped-up kids. In Forest Therapy, Sarah Ivens helps you live your most unforgettable, fabulous alfresco life. --Cover
