As we make our way into the summertime, our lives are starting to pick up with outward momentum. As we engage in external life, this health hack is here to remind you that the more you can be OUTDOORS during this time of heightened engagement, the better...
Why? Because being outside actually has proven, calming effects on the body. Through the grass and trees providing essential oil aromatherapy, or by grounding outside with your bare feet to give your parasympathetic nervous system a sense of ease, being in nature has a mysteriously beneficial effect on not just the body, but our mental wellbeing

🌳 Calms anxiety and OCD
🌳 Boosts the immune system
🌳 Lowers the risk of cancer
