The following are some of the forms of eco-therapy that are beneficial for dealing with depression:
Gardening
Gardening is beneficial for the management of depression because a study revealed that a common soil bacterium, known as Mycobacterium vaccae bacteria, that is inhaled when one is digging in the dirt while gardening, activates the release of serotonin in human brains.
This serotonin is a brain chemical which causes feelings of emotional well-being.
A flourishing garden also gives one a sense of accomplishment which can counteract the thoughts of futility brought on by depression.
Therefore, look for a small piece of land and begin gardening today.
If you live in a large city, give window sill herb container gardening a try and see if you will reap the same benefits.
