How Forests Heal People

23,729 views
For thousands of years our ancestors hunted, gathered, and survived in the wilderness. Endless grasslands, dense forests and rivers were an integral part of a place we called home. But in today’s world, the green spaces are replaced by urban structures, crowded streets and polluted environments. This rapid change puts an unwanted pressure on our body and mind. As a result we have seen that chronic illnesses, stress, depression and other ailments are on the rise. This video shows us the magical healing powers of nature. For a few minutes, let these images calm your nerves and soothe your soul.

This video touched me in a way that showed how people like Lynne think forests heal everyone. But to Barry; you might just not be a forest guy
Chant
Such an amazing video. I loved the fact we can heal ourselves. We have the ability.
Lynne
Just watching this video (and I have watched it more than once!) was calming, healing. To the naysayers, what would happen if you allowed yourself to fully experience video or by spending time outside in nature? Who cares if it hasn't been "proven" to your liking - many of us know our own Truths, and this video shows a very powerful one.

I can't believe you guys would say that about this video. This video is totally true. When I walk out into nature I feel totally relaxed. Thank you for making this video it shows the world how to relax.

Totally false and this video is phony lies
Kathy Harrington
Explain to me. Why would humans live in cities if it was bad for you. It's the peoples fault by overworking themselves.
Ryan Smith
I agree with you Barry except for your inappropriate use of language. Forests don't heal people, people have to heal themselves but the forest thing is just a placebo affect.

Also I can't believe people believe this ****. Usually karmatube has good quality videos but this is not one of them. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2006/dec/15/ethicalliving.lifeandhealth

This video is retarded, and is proven false by multiple studies and has shown that life is so stressful because of stupid people who think they are always wronged.

Excellent..We are indispensible part of nature and in tune we are what we have to be...!
Your attempt to awaken people is praiseworthy...
