Forest Bathing in Puncak, Why It’s Good for You

Mother Nature is a powerful healer. Whenever you are in need of an escape from your tiresome work and daily stress, give yourself a chance to try forest bathing in Puncak where you can enjoy a therapeutic experience unlike any other.

The Japanese practice of ‘shinrin yoku’, or forest bathing is a unique practice to maintain good physical and mental health by simply taking a mindful walk in a natural forest or at any place with abundant trees. It’s not walking to exercise;, it’s about fully feeling the forest, focusing on breathing, listening, and bonding with the forest. Research has shown that forest bathing can help to reduce hormones that cause stress, improve your mood, lower heart rate, and blood pressure and boost your immune system.

If you live in frenetic Jakarta and need a wholesome retreat, Puncak makes an ideal place for everyone to practice forest bathing. Keep on reading to discover what the lovely Puncak has to offer.
