Interesting, rules me out though as I can't walk for 15 minutes let alone 2 hrs twice in a day!
Then sit down, lie down, and breath. I like evergreens for this, they're particularly aromatic. My forest is primarily Sugi.
I haven't measured my NK cells, but I live in a forest, and hike regularly in a forest ... and haven't noticed any benefits I can attribute to that. I'm sure it's healthier than sitting in a room, or even walking in a smoggy city, but it hasn't affected my ME noticeably.
Do you think it's possible that living in the forest has helped keep your CFS mild-moderate being able to do things like hike?
Phytoncides, such as alpha-pinene and beta-pinene were detected in forest air, but almost not in city air.
I am a big fan of forest bathing. I have been doing it for a few years. I have improved to where I am more functional than I used to be.
