| Abstract: | Forest based health and wellness includes static activities such as forest sitting in meditation, and dynamic activities such as forest walking, tai chi, yoga and marathon. The forest environment has seven health care elements of air negative oxygen ions, plant essence (also known as phytoncide), forest microclimate, green vision rate, acoustic environment, oxygen and clean water. This paper expounded the beneficial effects of forest based health and wellness on human immune function, endocrine system, cardiovascular system, nervous system, respiratory system, mental health and chronic pain, but there were still some shortcomings such as relatively few evidence-based medical research, weak scientific research design and relatively limited research data. Therefore, this paper proposed to carry out research on the impact of forest based health and wellness on the condition of patients with depression, diabetes mellitus,chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other diseases, supplement evidence-based medicine related knowledge, gradually establish a sound basic research system, and carry out research on the safety of forest based health and wellness to form a scientific program. |
