Therapeutic landscapes in holistic medicine

Volume 46
Pages 1193-1203
Author(s): Williams, A.
This study looks at the cross-section between humanism (as applied to holistic medicine) and therapeutic landscapes, and analyzes their impact on health and healing. Therapeutic landscapes are by definition, “changing places, settings, situations, locales and milieus that encompass both the physical and psychological environments associated with treatment or healing.” In simple terms, natural landscapes can play a vital role in the healing of illness. Health programs centered on these ideals are thought to achieve physical, mental, and spiritual healing.

Physiological effects of Shinrin-Yoku (taking in the atmosphere of the forest)—using salivary cortisol and cerebral activity as indicators

Because humans have lived and adapted to their natural environment for the past 5 million years, it is deduced that humans function most optimally in natural environments such as the forest. It is from this philosophy that the Japanese concept and practice of Shinrin-yoku derived, defined as “making contact with nature and taking in the atmosphere of the forest.”
