  • Studies show that looking at natural scenery, such as flowers, plants, and wooden objects, can positively affect brain activity and autonomic nervous system responses, promoting relaxation.
  • This growing body of scientific evidence suggests that incorporating natural elements or representations into indoor environments could be used as a form of preventive medicine, like nature therapy, to improve physiological well-being.]
