    The Benefits of Nature and Forest Bathing for Addiction Treatment at Drug Rehab

    Forest Bathing is a form therapy that was developed in Japan in the 1980s, and has become increasingly popular worldwide. Forest Bathing is the practice of spending time in the forest, and often includes practicing mindfulness, through observing the sights, sounds and smells of the surroundings. Spending time in nature and Forest Bathing have many benefits for overall health, as well as for alcohol addiction treatment. Specifically, Forest Bathing and simply spending time in nature, has been shown to significantly reduce stress, decrease blood pressure, and increase immune function. When considering the use of Forest Bathing in an alcohol rehab setting, its ability to decrease stress is most useful for aiding in alcohol addiction treatment. Stress is often a contributing factor in alcohol use and relapse. Therefore, the reduction of stress is important for successful addiction treatment and sustained sobriety.
