  Trees have long been recognized for their ability to promote health and well-being in humans. Known as "tree healing," this practice involves spending time in nature, specifically around trees, to improve physical and mental health. One of the most well-known benefits of tree healing is the ability of trees to reduce stress and promote relaxation.

This is thought to be due to the natural environment's ability to distract the mind from everyday worries and provide a sense of peacefulness.
