About this course

As human beings spend more and more time inside in the built environment, we are stepping away from the healing power of nature. This is a big loss! Human beings evolved in natural settings, and time in nature is one of the most stress-relieving activities we can enjoy.

Nature cure can be part of an effective plan for ADHD, depression, lack of social connection, and result in decreases in antidepressant prescriptions. Childhood nature exposure even predicts adult mental health. In other health domains, increased nature exposure is associated with decreased mortality and cardiovascular disease, while increasing heart rate variability and the impact of exercise. There’s also a strong immune effect of nature exposure and the terpenes nature provides, which is especially relevant for cancer.

People of all ages can benefit from nature, including some special populations such as veterans and women during pregnancy. Many types of nature exposure are healing – everything from indoor houseplants and art, to place sitting and gardening, to forest bathing and camping. Use the nature prescription to increase your patients’ well-being.
