Forest Therapy or Pseudoscience? Belarusian Vlogger Links Tree Stress to Human Well-being

A Belarusian man, Viktor, recently uploaded a video discussing the impact of stress on both humans and trees. Filmed in a Belarusian forest, the video shows Viktor pointing out a tree with unusual growths, which he claims are caused by stress. He connects this to human relationships, stating, "If you're constantly around negative people, you'll absorb that negativity." While the video's claims lack scientific evidence, it highlights the growing interest in holistic well-being and the search for natural remedies for stress. Experts emphasize the importance of social support and stress-reduction techniques, such as exercise and mindfulness, for maintaining good mental and physical health.
