Eco-therapy is the concept of finding physical and mental balance through increasing one's connection with nature by appreciating and caring for the environment.

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]
