Forest has irreplaceable ecological value and health effect. Many countries in the world have carried out forest recuperation practice of using forest environment to improve people’s health level. Studies have confirmed that forest recuperation can promote the health status of human cardiovascular system，respiratory system，immune system and psychological emotion. At the same time，it can also play an auxiliary role in the treatment of cardiovascular and respiratory chronic diseases such as hypertension and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. With the increase of forest resources in China，developing and improving forest recuperation has become one of the important ways to build a healthy city and improve the health level of the whole people. In the next development process，we should focus on solving the following problems：poor public awareness and willingness to participate，insufficient education and publicity in medical colleges and universities，lack of systematic and in-depth empirical research on forest recuperation，no evaluation criteria for indications，and uneven distribution of natural resources and development of forest recuperation in different regions.
