Forest bathing, despite my imaginings, has nothing to do with wood nymphs frolicking under a waterfall in a sylvan glade. It is the restorative practice of shinrin-yoku, an opening of your senses, a meditative slowdown and the immersion of your physical, emotional and spiritual being in a forest – it’s big in Japan and its medicine is blowing west.
