Tree Hugging Proven To Improve Health Issues
(By NaturalNews) Tree hugging, that much maligned hippy generation idea, has now been shown to have validity after all. Contrary to popular belief, touching a tree does make you healthier. In fact you don’t even have to touch the tree to get better, just being within its vicinity has the same effect.
In a recently published book, Blinded By Science, the author Matthew Silverstone, proves that trees improve many health issues such as; mental illnesses, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), concentration levels, reaction times, depression and the ability to alleviate headaches.
Countless studies have shown that children show significant psychological and physiological effects in terms of their health and well being when they interact with plants. They demonstrate that children function better cognitively and emotionally in green environments and have more creative play in green areas.
A large public health report that investigated the association between green spaces and mental health concluded that “access to nature can significantly contribute to our mental capital and wellbeing”.
So what is it about nature that can have these significant effects? Up until now it has been thought to be the open green spaces that cause this effect. However, Matthew Silverstone, shows that it is nothing to do with this by proving that it is the vibrational properties of trees and plants that give us the health benefits and not the open green spaces.
Blinded By Science answers how plants and trees affect us physiologically and it turns out to be very simple. It is all to do with the fact that everything vibrates, and different vibrations affect biological behaviours. It has been proven that if you drink a glass of water that has been treated with a 10Hz vibration your blood coagulation rates will change immediately on ingesting the treated water. It is the same with trees, when touching a tree its different vibrational pattern will affect various biological behaviours within your body.
This vibrational idea is backed up throughout the book by hundreds of scientific studies to provide overwhelming proof that tree hugging after all is not such a crazy idea. Not only is it good for our health but it can also save the Government a lot of money by offering an alternative form of treatment that is free.
One report concluded with the following: “safe, green spaces may be as effective as prescription drugs in treating some forms of mental illnesses”.
Wouldn’t it be nice to hear from now on that doctors treat some forms of illnesses by suggesting a walk in the park rather than taking a packet full of pills.

Great article on trees.I love sitting in the forest and listen to the wind. It’s very calming and restful, good for meditation and lowering blood pressure.

I grew up in a densely green place and then moved to the desert with my parents when I was still a teen. I was miserable. Then I moved back to the north and was happy. Moved back here to the desert a few years ago to care for my elderly mom and again at age 55 I”m miserable! Getting myself back to the north and tall trees as soon as I can! I honestly don’t get the whole desert as a spiritual place thing.

Trees radiate tiny particles called terpenes which we pick up when we are nearby and which are beneficial to us. This happens even when the leaves have fallen in winter. Walking near trees and hugging them is good natural medicine.

i’ve been hugging trees in my urban neighbourhood for a while now. i get a few stares but I dont care!!! It only looks crazy cos not enough of us do it!!! dont be ashamed to spread the love! ps: im completely sane and have long been aware of the benefits of trees, having many large trees in my garden whom i regularly visit to “charge” and “recharge”.

Those gosh darned hippies were right!!!
Methinks I’m gonna go out and hug a tree..
I can completely agree with what Mary Miller said, how living in the north by trees was healthier for her, and the desert not as much. I spent a good deal of time on the west coast of Canada and felt SUPER healthy, then went back to the prairies where I grew up, and felt miserable. It’s too dry.. doesn’t do well for my body at all
The extra moisture from being around trees, and the scents they give off in those moister environments is GOOD for our brains!! Very healthy!

People used to think I was crazy for spending more time with trees than people. Trees never argued with me, they never judged me and they never expected anything from me. I learned more about unconditional love from trees than from my own parents. Great post. Cheers! Rob
