I have always known how the simple act of walking amongst or even beside trees can be healing.  The presence of trees and seeing the colour green is both uplifting and calming.   Science has now shown that the phytoncides emitted by trees as part of their own defence system can lower blood pressure, lower the heart rate and lower stress levels. But I don’t really need science to speak for the trees.  I’ll let them speak and act for themselves; be it the gentle whisper of a quiet Autumn walk or the roar of a windy day….But if they start murmuring in the twilight I’ll speed my way home!

In essence, we are rediscovering what the ancients knew: how spending time among trees is one of the best approaches to health and well-being. 

Sending you oodles of good wishes whether you can walk among trees, observe a solitary tree or enjoy a beautiful image of a tree.
