Nature as Medicine

While it’s easy to think that we humans are separate from nature, we are as much a part of nature as every other lifeform on this planet. Our homes, city landscapes, and offices serve important purposes but they also tend to separate us from nature and ultimately, ourselves – which has been shown through many studies to have a negative impact on our mental health.

The idea that nature is a form of medicine that our bodies and minds need is rooted in our intimate connection with our natural surroundings and the life that flourishes there. By immersing yourself in nature at Exclusive Hawaii Rehab, we help you to reconnect with your own true nature in one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world – Hawaii.

In our private luxury rehab for addiction and mental health, we will help you to find a new balance in your life that facilitates your personal growth through the power of our Nature Immersion treatment program. We use nature as medicine to treat your body and soul so that a new life foundation can be created – one that focuses on empowerment and personal growth.

Benefits of Spending Time in Nature

As we become more detached from nature in our urban spaces, several studies have been conducted on the benefits of spending time in nature. Overwhelmingly, studies and research show that the positive effects that we get from nature include improving anxiety, depression, and mood disorders through the relaxing and centering aspects of being in nature.

According to studies by the University of Chicago, the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), and other scientific research, the benefits that you can get from nature in our Nature Immersion program for addiction include the following:

  • Reduced stress
  • Improved sleep
  • Reduced negative emotions especially obsessing over negative thoughts
  • Instills a greater sense of meaning and purpose in one’s life
  • Improves and promotes healthy social interactions
  • Improves attention
  • Improves memory
  • Stimulates creativity
  • Decreases blood pressure and heart rate
  • Improved self-esteem
  • Reduces stress hormones
  • Reduces muscle tension

Moreover, exposure to the natural environment can help to improve various aspects of your body function. Interaction with soil microbiomes has been known to improve your own microbiomes which are essential for healthy body function and can help to improve:

  • Cardiovascular health
  • Gut biome health
  • Skin health
  • Respiratory health
  • Help in preventing Alzheimer’s
  • And more

The holistic aspects of connecting with nature provide further benefits through the phenomenon known as “earthing” or “grounding” which is an exercise done in nature that can help to provide instant relief from oxidative stress from EMF radiation.
