Short-term direct contact with soil and plant materials leads to an immediate increase in the diversity of skin microbiota – PMC
Mira Grönroos, an ecologist at the Finnish Environment Institute, conducted an experiment in which participants rubbed their hands with soil, peat, and moss for 20 seconds. Even after rinsing their hands with tap water—leaving their palms looking clean—the diversity and quantity of skin microbiota increased manifold.
It turned out that when a rich and diverse microflora coexists on the body, microbes keep each other in check, preventing the proliferation of pathogenic strains. A healthy microbiome environment resembles a democracy, where a beneficial majority simply leaves no room for "pathogenic dictators."
As part of the *Vahvistu* scientific project and earlier studies by Roslund, forest soil, peat, and shrubs were introduced to standard paved areas. Children who played in the dirt, got covered in sawdust, and gathered pine cones for several hours a day saw a significant increase in the diversity of their microbiota after just one month. Moreover, blood tests revealed higher levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines and regulatory T-cells. Participants who grew vegetables indoors in microorganism-rich soil during the winter, or worked in offices featuring "green walls" of living plants, showed increased levels of beneficial skin lactobacteria and reduced blood markers of inflammation after just two to four weeks.
Finnish scientists are convinced that urban spaces should be designed to facilitate incidental contact with soil and plants—such as during a commute to work or school. They also suggest that brief, 20-second touches of moss or tree bark during daily walks should be practiced as often as possible.https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/acel.70507
