Virtual forest bathing.

Brilliant magazine article, which explains the benefits of virtual forest bathing. It suggests how people in hospital can recover quicker if they have a view of nature, as opposed to the view of a wall. Also, how an experiment in a correctional institute is underway, showing the prisoners nature videos whilst exercising as opposed to not, created calmer behaviour. Furthermore, a study by Roger Ulrich concluded that nature photographs on walls reduced pain and anxiety. Suggesting to me, that my website can indeed have health benefits for those people who can’t actually get into the forest to bathe. If the weather is bad, or you are too busy you can still enjoy nature. At the click of a button you can listen to the birds sing. You can watch video clips of nature in action. In addition, you can see images of nature through the seasons slide before your eyes.
