Fairytales. Myths. Medicine
Humans have always been fascinated and attracted by forests. It is a place of well-being for both humans and animals.
The dense canopy of the forest and its soothing atmosphere benefit us even more: they provide the basis for good health and a health-promoting lifestyle.
