6 Types of Nature Therapy
How can you boost your mental health?
Here’s a tool for you:
→ Nature Therapy
Ready?
You’re gonna discover something new about me (and about my family).
Let’s see 6 ways to practice Nature Therapy.
1. Forest Therapy
My two grandfathers were always happy.
Why?
One reason is this:
→ They were both loggers.
Ten hours per day in the forest cutting down trees.
Now your question is:
→ “Why are you telling me this?”
Well, because you can ‘use’ the magic of the forest to improve your mental health, right?
Many studies have shown this.
2. Farming Therapy
My mom loves vegetable gardens.
We had two small vegetable gardens at home.
Zucchini, broccoli, potatoes, salad, tomatoes…
Unfortunately no avocado…
So, if you want to improve your mental health you can try Farming Therapy.
It’s based on working with crops, often in a community.
3. Adventure Therapy
I loved climbing!
So, if you like adventure, consider Adventure Therapy.
4. Wilderness Therapy
I joined a survival camp.
Seven days in a forest with nothing.
No technology.
Pretty much nothing to eat.
What I want to tell you is this:
→ If you like camping and hiking in the wilderness, that’s perfect for your mental health.
5. Horticultural Therapy
My mom doesn’t love just vegetable gardens
She is literally the best planter on earth — unlike her son…
Taking care of her flowers is her favorite ‘anti-stress tool.’
Do you want to give her a gift?
Buy her an orchid.
It’s the best gift you can give her.
Anyway, why am I telling you this?
Because Horticultural Therapy is totally based on:
→ Caring for plants
→ Watering them
→ And spending time with them (even indoors)
6. Animal-Assisted Therapy
So, if you like animals like me, consider Animal-Assisted Therapy.
It’s all about spending time with animals – outside on a farm or inside.
