Very beautifully made and cleverly written book on the trending topic of "forest and health". I was particularly interested in the health-promoting effects of terpenes, which are explained here in a scientific (but easy to understand) way. Overall, a very informative, factual book that makes you want to spend more time in the forest. It is also attractively and qualitatively designed, and you just enjoy picking it up.

About Mha

For years, Dr. Melanie H. Adamek has been studying the health effects of Shinrin Yoku, a a widespread health sustaining practice in Asia. She says: “For me, Shinrin Yoku is the logical consequence of Kneipp's health teachings, and it has the potential to become a universal health concept, especially here in Europe.”

The IM-WALD-SEIN® Toolbox

During times of great pressure to change, we are more than ever dependent on simple, universal building blocks for a healthy lifestyle. Dr. Melanie H. Adamek has developed a toolbox with which you can easily and casually use the forest as a source of health and well-being, anytime and anywhere.

Mha face-to-face

Many people talk about the link between forests and health. Few have Dr. Melanie H. Adamek's profound expertise. She is very familiar with the crème de la crème of the German and international scene and has researched the health effects of the forest herself. You too can benefit from Dr. Adamek's knowledge, eloquence and charm.
