Abstract:
"The nature prescription: potential side effects may include improved mood, a stronger sense of self, and spontaneous euphoria. Women everywhere are searching for answers to better support their well-being and find balance in their lives. But what if there were a solution? One that improves our physical and mental health while also strengthening our relationships, our sense of community, and our purpose. In Women Who Heal, women's health naturopath Emma Drady has assembled the communal wisdom of women from around the world to unearth the missing piece of the puzzle: our connection with nature drawing and finding a sit spot, to cold-water immersion and plant meditation--tried and tested by the diverse range of women featured here--connecting with nature helps boost happiness, calms the nervous system, and reduces stress. By connecting more with nature, you will connect with yourself."-- Provided by publisher.
