COPPER AUTUMN FOREST BATHING

Service Description

Forest medicine, they call it, not for nothing... a way of preventing and curing so much in an absolutely natural and zero invasive way by being immersed in the heartbeat and splendour of so many small and large beings in all their freedom and life. The forest is not an inert element, it is alive. The oldest trees secrete essential oils. These, when inhaled by humans, activate particles of the parasympathetic system. It allows the body to relax and to stop being on alert. On the other hand, it also activates the immune system, which can help to fight against certain viruses and tumours. The walk through a quiet area may invite you to sit somewhere that calls out to you, or to stand, watching, touching... enjoy it, we will pick you up on the way back. A time to be attentive to nature's messages. Eagles sing happily if we listen well. Nature speaks, guide, what does it tell you? Shinrin-Yoku, to connect consciously and quietly in the forest, without any hurry, not as physical exercise but as joy or meditation or simple being or nourishment. In Sweden and Japan, to mention just a few countries, it is part of the cure recommended by official medicine for certain ailments such as depression or to combat work-related stress. What do the studies say about its benefits? The forest is not an inert element, it is alive. The oldest trees secrete essential oils. These, when inhaled by humans, activate particles of the parasympathetic system. This allows the body to relax, leaving one in a more relaxed state. -People who spend 40 minutes or more walking in a forest experience an improvement in mood and a greater sense of health. -There is a significant reduction in the stress hormone (cortisol), a condition linked to many pathologies (headaches, high blood pressure, heart problems, asthma, arthritis...). Excessive cortisol increases the risk of anxiety, depression, heart disease, etc. -Strengthens the immune system: the immune system is affected by stress, so reducing cortisol clearly benefits this system. Improves short-term memory by 20%: The University of Michigan published a study concluding that walking can have a restorative effect on our memory and concentration. -Increases creativity, improves rest, helps conserve energy, reduces heart rate and helps increase bowel activity. The mare will most likely want to accompany you on this land she loves, her home. Patiently, quietly, with pleasure. The forest, nourishment for body and soul.
