Nature therapy is a broader term which describes the practice that combines a range of exercises and tasks in an outdoor environment. As of today, there appears no precise scientific definition of what nature therapy comprises. Garden therapy, horticultural therapy, Kneipp therapy or even ocean therapy may be viewed as forms of nature therapy.
Health effects
A 2012 and 2017 review found the evidence was not of sufficient quality to determine effects.[1][2]
History
Anthropologically, nature therapy appears to have existed since the dawn of time in many cultures and tribes. In modern times, for example, the concept of Shinrin-yoku (森林浴) was introduced in Japan in the early 1980s and may be regarded as a form of nature therapy.[3][4][5] In Japan, Shinrin-yoku has become established across all prefectures with more than 60 Forest Therapy Camps by the end of 2016.[6]
