Eco-therapy

Eco-therapy, also known as nature therapy, is a therapeutic practice that connects individuals with nature to improve mental health and well-being. It involves spending time outdoors, engaging in activities like hiking, gardening, or simply enjoying natural surroundings. Research suggests that interactions with nature can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression while enhancing mood and overall life satisfaction. By fostering mindfulness and a sense of belonging within the natural world, eco-therapy aims to promote healing and personal growth, helping individuals develop a deeper appreciation for the environment and their place within it.
