What is Eco-Therapy?

Eco-therapy, also known as nature-based therapy or green therapy, is a form of therapeutic intervention that incorporates nature and the outdoors into the healing process. It is a practiuce that acknowledges the interconnection between human beings and nature, and the therapeutic benefits that can be gained from spending time in natural environments.

Eco-therapy sessions can take many forms, such as outdoor walks, gardening, wilderness expeditions, or spending time in a park or natural setting. Eco-therapy aims to enhance mental health and well-being by promoting relaxation, reducing stress, improving mood, and increasing a sense of connection to the natural world.

Eco-therapy is based on the understanding that spending time in nature has a positive impact on mental health and can lead to a greater sense of purpose, increased self-awareness, and a more positive outlook on life. As a result, eco-therapy is becoming an increasingly popular form of treatment for mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress-related disorders.
