Japanese doctors write prescriptions that include walks in the forest

In Japan, doctors prescribe people to visit forests, also called 'forest shower' or 'shinrin-yoku'

"Shinrin-yoku" serves to improve mental and physical health. This practice involves walking in forest environments to reduce stress, lower blood pressure and boost the immune system.
