FOREST BATHING
A forest bathing hike gives you an opportunity to slow down and open your senses through contact with nature. To "forest bathe" means to bathe your senses in the forest atmosphere.
Forest bathing originated in Japan, where in the 1970s many office workers died of "karoshi", death due to overwork.
In response, in the 1980s the authorities established Shinrin-yoku, which in English has become forest bathing. Shinrin Yoku has been part of Japan's national health programme since the 1980s.
