From phytoncides to platelets: Can forest medicine breathe new life into transfusion medicine? - 23/10/26
Highlights |
• | Forest Medicine documents physiological changes with conceptual parallels to transfusion medicine. |
• | A 3-day forest trip was associated with ∼ 50% NK cell activity gains for up to a month. |
• | Forest exposure lowered BP and stress hormones in non-donor cohorts, of potential donor relevance. |
• | Anti-inflammatory shifts and improved mood may bear on component quality and donor retention. |
• | Evidence is limited (small, mostly East Asian studies; no donor data) — hypotheses, not interventions. |
