AB - ObjectivesThe purpose of this study is to understand the research trend of reports on forest therapy so far and analyze the Korean medicine therapy being applied in forest therapy programs.
MethodsWe ran a keyword search on domestic databases with the following keyword ‘forest therapy, forest healing, forest treatment, recreational forest, forest bath, forest experience’. The search took place in December 2014 and there was no limit to search time. A total of 334 forest therapy articles have been selected.
ResultsThe number of research on forest therapy continued to rise from 1985, with 334 articles being published from 84 journals. When those 188 articles were sorted by their contents and methods, except 146 articles of survey on simple satisfaction, recognition and visting, 94 were clinical studies, 79 were literature studies, 15 were experimental studies. Of the 94 clinical researches, there were 52 CCTs (Controled Clinical Trials), 39 ODs (efficacy studies with either a controlled or an Other than controlled Design) and 3 RCTs (Randomized Clinical Trials). Among the clinical researches, there were a total of 21 studies that used Korean Medicine programs, and meditation was the most popular, being used in 18 studies. Herbal food and tea therapy and Qigong were used in 3 studies each, and Korean medicine music programs were used in 2 studies.
ConclusionsA systematic and standardized Korean medicine forest therapy program must be developed, and based on the program, more research treating diseases should be conducted. (J Korean Med Rehab 2015;25(1):63-70)
