Health
Nature Rx — there’s a reason the term is slipping increasingly into doctors’ conversations with patients. Nature is essential to human health. Not a luxury, but a necessity. Spending time restores us, impacting our mental and physical health in multiple ways. It’s been shown to boost the immune system and lower blood pressure; to reduce stress and improve mood. And increasingly, nature is being recognized for its legitimate healing effects. Forward-thinking hospitals are incorporating purpose-built green spaces into their facilities and into their care while the military too is drawing it into PTSD treatment protocols.
