Book excerpt: In fast-paced everyday life, it is becoming increasingly important to find an antipole. The forest seems to be the perfect place for this - it offers balancing stimuli, health-promoting effects and its climate is proven to be effective on human health. This non-fiction book explains the background and facts about the effect of forest visits on a scientifically sound basis and sensitizes readers to the great health benefits of forest bathing (Shinrin-Yoku) and forest therapy. As an oasis of tranquility, the forest invites you to slow down, regenerate and draw new energy. Written for interested lay people - psychotherapists, doctors and other health professionals can read along. From the contents: How the forest and its climate affect us - How to discover and use the forest and its atmosphere for your health. The Authors: Prof. Dr. Dr. Angela Schuh and Gisela Immich, M.Sc., research the effects of forests and climate on health at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Munich, Germany, and develop concepts for preventive forest use as well as forest therapy. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Waldtherapie - das Potenzial des Waldes für Ihre Gesundheit by Angela Schuh and Gisela Immich, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2019. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.
