We all know we should get outside more. Who hasn't felt better after a walk in the woods, an alfresco picnic or a swim in the sea? But from the Japanese trend for shinrin yoku (forest bathing) to the Scandinavian philosophy of friluftsliv (open air life), people everywhere are waking up to the fact that spending time in nature has more benefits than you might have thought possible. In Forest Therapy, you will learn how the natural world can help us to be calmer, happier, more energised and even give our immune systems a boost.

From a simple walk in the woods or countryside couple's therapy, to DIY natural beauty products and tips on how to bring the outdoors to your home, Forest Therapy provides seasonal ideas to help you reconnect with nature. There's something in this book for everyone, not just outdoorsy types, whether you're a stressed-out urban professional or a weary parent dealing with cooped-up kids.

In Forest Therapy, Sarah Ivens helps you to live your most unforgettable, fabulous alfresco life.
