 Bathing?</strong><br />"Forest bathing\, also known as&nbsp\;shinrin yoku\
 , is a practice where participants bathe themselves in the forest atmosphe

 hich plants use to communicate with each other. Scientists are finding tha
 t our bodies respond to these chemical signals in ways which are beneficia
 l for us. Practicing forest bathing has been shown to increase immune resp
 onse and decrease stress hormones in the body."</p>\n<p><strong>What to Ex
