What's Nature Therapy?
Heal Your Mind, Body, and Soul with Nature Therapy
Nature therapy, also called ecotherapy, taps into the healing power of the natural world to nurture mental, physical, and emotional well-being. Whether it’s a peaceful walk in a city park, exploring wilderness trails, or practicing guided imagery meditation, nature therapy offers countless ways to find balance and renewal.
At Deep Rooted Wellness, we work with your unique eco-identity to create personalized experiences that help you connect with the outdoors in meaningful ways.
Why Nature Therapy Works
The science is clear: time in nature isn’t just refreshing—it’s transformational. Trees release essential oils (like terpenes and pinene), soil contains beneficial microorganisms, and natural sounds like water, wind, and birds have been proven to reduce stress.
Here’s how nature therapy can benefit your overall health:
-
Reduce Stress & Anxiety: Nature lowers cortisol (the stress hormone), calms the mind, and eases tension.
-
Boost Physical Health: Improve immune function, lower blood pressure, and support better sleep.
-
Enhance Mental Clarity: Reduce brain fog, increase focus, and prevent cognitive decline.
-
Improve Mood: Decrease symptoms of depression, trauma, and even ADHD.​
Research has shown that nature is an effective complement to traditional treatment for conditions like anxiety, depression, substance recovery, and more.
