I-Ecotherapy 

Immersive Ecotherapy

by Zaleski

"Ecotherapy refers to therapeutic interventions that involve exposure to nature-based stimuli to address all forms of emotional, psychological, spiritual, and existential distress and suffering."

​Individuals living with illnesses face multiple threats to their quality of life. Pharmacologic approaches often do not address the underlying and prevalent emotional dimensions of suffering including existential fear/distress, and current non-pharmacologic psychosocial interventions are also.  resource-and personnel-intensive.

I-Ecotherapy has the power to help the patient transcend his immediate condition and surroundings, is reassuring, grounding, and soothing both in healthcare environments and/or at home. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I-Ecotherapy approach builds upon existing evidence that exposure to natural environments, whether direct or simulated, decreases anxiety and pain, and improves mood and quality of life. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​I-Ecotherapy may be particularly beneficial

in the following applications:​

​​

- to help alleviate stress and anxiety in real time

- to lowers blood pressure.

- to reduces need for pain medication.

- to cope with the effects of psychosocial isolation. 

- with symptoms of grief.

- in practising meditation and mindfulness.

- to build a positive mindset and resilience.

- to offer emotional sense of hope and security.
