Amazing research being done in Japan called “Forest Therapy” is looking at how a walk in the forest amongst the trees can be beneficial to your health. This research has been done on cancer patients in particular and has found that Natural Killer Cells, part of our immune system that keeps cancerous growth in check, increase when time is spent amongst the trees.
The wonders of nature.
