City life can often feel overwhelming and stressful, making it essential to find moments of peace.

One simple way to reconnect with nature and boost your well-being is by hugging a tree. Research shows that it can reduce stress and anxiety while improving overall health.

In Japan, this practice is known as shinrin-yoku (forest bathing), an ancient tradition that encourages people to fully immerse themselves in the forest environment. 🌲

Hugging a tree is a key part of this practice, and it’s more than just a comforting gesture – science now supports the benefits. Research published in Environmental Health and Preventive Medicine (Ohtsuka, 2017) shows that touching a tree for just a few minutes can lower stress hormone levels and promote feelings of relaxation.
