Naturapy
Have you experienced the benefits of nature therapy? Scientists have found being in nature decreases blood pressure, heart rate, sympathetic nerve activity and cortisol. Nature destresses and detoxifies. I am in the mountains of Rugova in Kosovo, surrounded by green forests, flowing streams and singing birds, and I can literally feel my body relaxing and my mind clearing. But scientists find the same effect from walking in the park, contemplating a flower or gardening. Even having stone floors, wooden furniture or plants in the office has a positive physiological effect. Where will you get your naturapy today?
