How Forests Heal
The preeminent researcher on forest bathing, Dr. Quing Li, MD PhD, conducted a 2008 study of 13 female nurses on a three-day trip, in which the trip produced anti-cancer proteins and benefits lasting more than 7 days after the trip. Dr. Li and the scientific community continue to research this exciting potential.
