There are many types of therapies you can try in order to heal yourself, but nothing compares to the natural healing powers of trees. There’s an overwhelming amount of research that shows how being amongst trees reduces blood pressure, heart rate, stress, anxiety, and confusion while improving sleep and creativity. In fact, bathing in nature is found to be so good for you that the Japanese call it “forest medicine.” If you are in need of some healing, get yourself out of the urban setting and into the woods.
