It's party of my Forest Bathing series...see below for more about the concept of Forest Bathing! Nature therapy, sometimes referred to as ecotherapy, describes a broad group of techniques or treatments with the intention of improving an individual's mental or physical health, specifically with an individual's presence within nature or outdoor surroundings. One example of a nature therapy is forest bathing or shinrin-yoku, a practice that combines a range of exercises and tasks in an outdoor environment. Garden therapy, horticultural therapy, Kneipp therapy or even ocean therapy may also be viewed as forms of nature therapy. History In a crowded urban capital of Persia 2500 years ago, Cyrus the Great recognized the need to increase human health and create a feeling of "calm". In response, he planted a garden in the middle of the city.In the 16th century, a German-Swiss Paracelsus physician wrote: “The art of healing comes from nature, not from the physician.” Researching scientists during the 1950s decided to look into the reasoning behind why so many people chose to spend time in nature, with special reference to famous locations like national parks. Shinrin-yoku (森林浴), which literally means forest bathing, originated in Japan in the early 1980s and may be regarded as a form of nature therapy. Investigations on the physiological effects that result from being in a forest began in Japan in 1990 and continue today. Howard Clinebell coined the term "ecotherapy" in 1996. There has been an increasing interest in the study of nature therapy and its forms over the past few decades, as there is an important exploration of how a person's overall quality of life can be improved through their interaction with nature and a decrease in factors like stress or depression.
