You need a forest because your system was never meant to live without it. Walking in forests provides biological repair, neurological recalibration, and spiritual return. Mainstream science is finally catching up, but the truth has been known by indigenous cultures, monks, and mystics for thousands of years. Forests help you remember who you are, before the noise, the screens, and the stress rewired your senses away from truth. When you step into a forest, your body knows. Before you have a single conscious thought, your biology starts shifting. Trees release phytoncides - natural compounds that boost your immune system and reduce inflammation. Your Natural Killer (NK) cells rise, your cortisol drops, and stress dissolves from the bloodstream without a pill.
