Holz kann als Gesundheit und Erholung förderndes Material gesehen werden, obwohl man noch nicht genau weiß, worauf die positiven Wirkungen des Holzes basieren. Die Wirkung von Holz als Baumaterial auf die Menschen ist u. a. in Norwegen, Österreich, Japan und Kanada erforscht worden. Obwohl die Studien noch nicht ausreichend systematisch und umfassend sind, wurden viele alte Volksweisheiten über Holz durch diese bestätigt.
