Există doar patru păduri terapeutice certificate la nivel mondial. Ce le face atât de speciale
Bussaco National Forest has become the first certified therapeutic forest in the Iberian Peninsula, joining a select group of four worldwide. This certification recognizes forests designed for therapeutic activities, managed by accredited therapists. The certification process involves meeting specific criteria, including natural structures for noise reduction and designated relaxation areas. Benefits of spending time in such forests include improved cognitive functions, reduced stress, and enhanced immune response. The concept of forest therapy, rooted in Japan's 'shinrin-yoku', emphasizes health maintenance rather than treating specific medical conditions.
