Forest Bathing, "shinrin-yoku"


on saturday morning, a beautiful day, went to this place called Celery Farm, Allendale NJ.

in today's NY times talks about "shinrin-yoku" or "forest bathing" in japan.
and how being exposed to plants, nature can boost immune function, as well as mental wellness.
the secret, according to the article, may be "phytoncides", the airborne chemicals emitted by plants.

aside from negative ions, there are so many reasons to be in nature : )
