Nature and forest therapy is an evidence-based framework for accessing the therapeutic benefits of immersion in natural environments.
Empirical research across the globe demonstrates a wide range of benefits of forest therapy, including:
- stress reduction
- reduced incidence or severity of depression, anxiety disorder, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
- lowered heart rate and blood pressure
- accelerated recovery from illness and surgery
- improved sleep
- improved mood and sense of well-being
- increased feelings of gratitude, selflessness, and wonder
