Eco-therapy is the concept of finding physical and mental balance through increasing one's connection with nature. Associated activities involve both appreciating and caring for the environment, and can range from the simple (walking in the park) to the complex (taking a holiday in the wilderness, attempting to reduce one's carbon footprint).[1][2]
Eco-therapy has been criticised by some health care practitioners for not having a scientific basis for its claims, and instead relying on exploiting the latest fads. [3]
