on 05.01.2021 The CNR (National Research Council) post a review of the book: "Forest Therapy", published by Cnr Edizioni, the result of a year and a half ended in 2020, jointly between the CAI, on the initiative of his Tuscan Scientific Committee, implemented and expanded by the Central Scientific Committee (CAI-CSC), and theInstitute for Bioeconomics of the National Research Council (Cnr-Ibe), with the scientific collaboration of Cerfit at Aou Careggi, which for the first time systematically collects and extends the state of scientific knowledge on Forest Therapy. This is a discipline that started from the Far East and is now widespread throughout the world, so much so that it presents itself in all respects as a complementary medicine tool available to the National Health Service. The title "Forest Therapy", in its simplicity, underlines the intent to bridge, based on scientific rigor and multidisciplinary contributions from doctors, biologists, foresters, physicists and psychologists and other professionals, a gap temporarily filled by widespread and growing initiatives but not always based on objective criteria and verifiable standards.

“We wanted to create a scientific framework of evidence collected around the world during thirty years of research, and hundreds of scientific publications, regarding the direct effects of forest environments on the mental and physiological health of visitors,” says Federica Zabini of Cnr-Ibe curator of the work.

Forest Therapy, we read in the book published by CNR (National Research Council) is the result of research from spring and summer 2020: “With respect to the Covid-19 pandemic, a further active and beneficial role of forests in containing the spread of the infection and above all its related lethality has recently been proposed. In particular, these effects would refer to the emission into the atmosphere by plants and forest soil, and consequent inhalation, of certain biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC), in particular some terpenes with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and psychologically beneficial activities. and cognitive." The unexpected Covid-19 pandemic that hit the world in early 2020 raised several important questions. First of all, twenty-first century man, even in the fortunate developed countries, has suddenly realized his own vulnerability not only as an individual but even as a species, despite all the technological and medical advances accumulated at least since the first industrial revolution. Faced with the global threat, the reaction of scientific research has been impressive and quite moving due to the effort made, both in the search for effective treatments and in the direction of avoiding further pandemic events. In this last field of research, the primary role of forests has emerged very clearly." Today it is fully included among the many precious ecosystem services offered by forests. Immersion in the forest produces direct and measurable effects with a broad-spectrum action that affects, among others, the psychological, neurological, cardiovascular and immune spheres.”
