Forest Bathing is a therapeutic exercise in slowing down and connecting with Nature. The benefits of the practice are:
	
Stress Reduction: Significant decreases in stress hormones, including cortisol, adrenaline, and noradrenaline.

Mood Improvement: Reductions in anxiety, depression, anger, fatigue, and confusion, while scores for vigor and vitality increase.

Cognitive Enhancement: Improvements in attention, working memory, and creativity, especially in the elderly. It has also been shown to reduce ADHD symptoms in children.

Emotional Resilience: Fosters a deeper connection to nature, which can lead to increased feelings of awe, gratitude, and self-compassion.

Immune System Boost: Exposure to phytoncides (natural tree oils) increases the activity and number of natural killer (NK) cells, which help the body fight viruses and tumors.

Cardiovascular Health: Lowers blood pressure and heart rate by reducing sympathetic (fight-or-flight) nerve activity and increasing parasympathetic (rest-and-recover) activity.
	
Improved Sleep: Helps regulate circadian rhythms, leading to longer and higher-quality sleep.
	
Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Phytoncides and the practice of grounding (physical contact with the Earth) may reduce inflammation and oxidative stress.

Spaces are limited. Please reserve online. $15 per person

Parking is at the trail head, behind The Barn at Fallingwater - turn into the driveway by the white farmhouse, which curves up behind the barn.

Please bring water, wear comfortable clothing, and shoes for hiking. Bug repellent is strongly suggested.
