Dehradun, April 5, 2021, Monday

The Forest Department of Uttarakhand has started a unique forest treatment center in Ranikhet, Almora, covering an area of ​​about 18 acres, using our traditions connected with nature. There are many qualities in the forest that benefit both physically and mentally. It has also been claimed that exposure to pine-like trees can cure the disease. This cites experiments conducted by the Forest Department, including Iceland. According to research on forest remedies, touching or touching trees not only causes vibration in the body but also produces hormones like oxytocin, serotonin and dopamine.

Over the last one to one and a half years, many experiments have been done in this regard with very good results. There is one such forest healing center in India which includes activities like meeting a tree barefoot, forest meditation and late night sky watching. This healing center has been set up in the pine forests within about 50 meters from the main road in the Kalika area of ​​Ranikhet. The pine forest, known for its ability to catch fire quickly, has a wealth of medicinal properties. Pine trees emit a special type of oil compound finosides for immunity.

Various types of research have shown that this compound helps build immune cells in the blood and helps relieve stress. Walking barefoot in the pine forest and meeting it is the only way to benefit from its medicinal properties. Platforms such as tree houses have been set up as part of the deforestation, and enjoying the galaxy through the canopy of trees at night is a great way to stay relaxed.
