This is wonderful! It is similar to the European Kneipp practice of "dew walking" - walking barefoot in the early morning dew. I hope Dr. Li will do studies, if he hasn't already, of 1) whether the time of day spent in the forest makes a difference on the therapeutic effects - e.g., morning vs. evening, and 2) whether the benefits of forest walking are enhanced by removing your shoes/boots and walking barefoot on the forest floor. Keep up the great work, Dr. Li!
In today’s society I think that differentiation would no matter given how divorced many are from exposure to woodlands/forests at all, in my opinion. Likely also to be difficult to do a study to show this without having a massive sample.
Shin Rin yoku, 森林浴forest Bathing. It's common in Japan. Not only increasing the oxygen level and purifying, the nature aweing and cleansing the polluted spirit is enormous. You may not have to be a Japanese to enjoy it.
Not convinced about the edibles and food contributing much therapeutically for a visitor . Not sustainable in practice just a nice end to a day of forest bathing.
Thank you so much from Sri Lanka.

The book is a sensory experience in itself the feel of the paper and illustrations. I would advise you to get the physical copy.
