Benefits of Phytoncides on Humans
When humans breathe phytoncides in, they can support us in many ways inside the body.
•Immune response: a 2-hour walk in the forest increases NK cell activity that can last for days
•Anti-inflammatory: common forest terpenes temper inflammation and reduce oxidative stress
•Nervous system: forest air creates a relaxation response and lowers nervous system activity
•Mood enhancing: exposure to forest air reduces cortisol levels and β-pinene has antidepressive properties
•Sleep: phytoncides like α-pinene enhance sleep
•Blood glucose: exposure to VOCs can reduce blood glucose levels

Spending time in forests is so beneficial to our wellbeing. We always feel inspired, invigorated and elated after time in the forest. How about you?
