My Nature and Your Well-being EBook is based on the healing power of spending time in Nature.
Here's an introduction:
Countryside therapy refers to the mental, emotional, and physical benefits of spending time in rural or natural environments. It’s based on the idea that being surrounded by greenery, fresh air, and open landscapes can reduce stress, improve mood, and promote overall well-being.
 
This concept is linked to ecotherapy and nature therapy, which highlight the healing effects of nature on mental health. Activities like walking in the woods, gardening, or simply sitting in a peaceful rural setting can help reduce anxiety, enhance creativity, and encourage mindfulness.
 
Research supports the idea that exposure to the countryside can lower cortisol (the stress hormone), boost serotonin (the happiness hormone), and improve concentration and sleep quality. Some therapists even use structured nature-based interventions, such as animal-assisted therapy or guided outdoor mindfulness sessions, to enhance emotional healing.
