Head of the IM-WALD-SEIN® INSTITUTE FOR FOREST MEDICINE AND FOREST THERAPY and member of the IWS. Academy
Melanie H. Adamek is an author and holds a doctorate in law. As an INFOM-certified forest health expert and Vice Chairperson of the specialty Committee of Forest Health Maintenance Research of WFCMS (World Federation of Chinese Medicine Societies), she discusses the international state of opinion along with the theoretical and practical aspects of forest medicine.
"Anyone who takes a serious look at forest medicine will discover an impressive range of reliable findings that have already been identified in a wide variety of healthcare areas.
Well-founded evidence shows us that regardless of our condition - young or old, healthy or sick - spending time in forests, parks, gardens, or even simply living in the countryside is a good investment in our health and well-being. It is the starting point, foundation, and future of our existence. So, what do we make of it?
It is the perfect time to integrate more contact with nature into society, our lives, healthcare, and especially disease treatments.
Shinrin Yoku by Dr. Qing Li combined with the IWS® Method offers a convincing toolkit for this, and I am happy to represent it."
