*2025 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Honorable Mention*

'I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees.' - Henry David Thoreau

From Thoreau and Nietzsche to Aristotle, history's greatest thinkers have long celebrated the healing power of the natural world. But forest bathing is more than just a walk in the woods - it's the mindful practice of reconnecting with nature through your senses, and The Healing Power of Trees is here to show you how.

Recent research shows that just 15 minutes outside can enhance mood, concentration and physical health. This beautifully crafted guide reveals the unparalleled health benefits of the great outdoors, with the experts at The Forest Bathing Institute leading you on a journey of healing through forest bathing.

The book includes both practical guidance and advice on addressing key challenges such as:

  • Easing depression and anxiety
  • Lowering stress
  • Improving energy levels
  • Boosting your immune system
The Forest Bathing Institute has spent years collaborating with universities and governments to research the benefits of this practice and train practitioners to share them. Now, its founders present their unique method in this stunning guide - an essential gift or self-purchase for anyone ready to reconnect with nature.

Packed with expert insights and captivating photography, The Healing Power of Trees not only helps you plan your next forest bathing trip but also brings the restorative power of nature into your home.
