Nature's imprint: is it truly forever? -- Is nature's appeal fading? -- Stress, immune defenses, and the experience of nature -- The therapeutic landscape -- Forest bathing -- Negative ions and natural environments -- The bioenergetic landscape -- Air-purifying indoor plants.
Our connection to nature is deeply rooted in the history of our evolution. And yet, we have less contact with green space now than ever, and our stress and anxiety levels are at an all-time high. "The secret therapy of trees" helps us rediscover the restorative value of our natural environment and presents the science behind green therapies like forest bathing and bioenergetic landscapes, explaining which are the most effective and how to put them into practice to achieve the best possible results. Studies have shown that increased exposure to green spaces can result in a regulated heartbeat, lowered blood pressure, reduced aggressiveness, improved memory skills and cognitive function, and a healthier immune system. Just one visit to a forest can be beneficial (hint: monoterpenes, the natural essential oils in plants, have numerous positive effects on health), and even a mindful walk through a seminatural park can alleviate physical and psychological stress.
