Cardiovascular activation

Forest bathing has a positive effect on our cardiovascular system and stimulates it without overburdening it. The relaxing environment of the forest helps to reduce stress and activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes our regeneration and can lower blood pressure. Study results from Japan confirmed this and also showed that spending time in the forest has a soothing effect on the cardiovascular system, as stress is diminished and relaxation sets in.
