Feeling drained, scattered, or stuck in stress mode? It might be time to take a walk - in the woods. Forest bathing, or Shinrin-yoku, is a Japanese practice that’s all about slowing down and soaking in the sights, sounds, and smells of nature. Backed by science, this simple ritual can lower stress hormones, boost your immune system, improve mood, and leave you feeling mentally refreshed and physically energized. The best part? No gym membership or fancy gear required - just you, some trees, and a little presence. At Functional Reset NP, we believe that healing starts with reconnecting - to your body, your environment, and the rhythms of nature. If you're ready to boost your energy, sleep better, and feel more like you again, forest bathing could be the (free) lifestyle shift you didn’t know you needed.
