Questa piattaforma promuove le evidenze scientifiche che dimostrano i benefici per la salute umana ottenuti a seguito di escursioni brevi, minimo 100 minuti – massimo 7 giorni, in ambiente montano forestale per quanto attiene le ‘sole’ patologie dell’apparato respiratorio.Tali evidenze scientifiche riguardano l’Italia, per ora limitatamente alla regione Friuli venezia Giulia, e il Giappone, paese in cui la Terapia Forestale è nata.

Avvertenze:
Questa piattaforma non propone altri siti che propongono un approccio NON suffragato da evidenze scientifiche locali, MA:
- che richiede l’acquisto di corsi di formazione (approccio “commerciale”)
- basato sulla promozione di interessi professionali (approccio “professionale a-scientifico”)
Questa piattaforma non li propone in quanto NON SCIENTIFICI, quindi DANNOSI ai fini:
- della diffusione della Terapia Forestale come pratica di medicina preventiva,
- dello sviluppo delle aree forestali attraverso attività di turismo – salute, benessere e ricreativo forestale.
