HEALING GARDENS SUPPORTS HEALTH | ABONO BIOTECH

“Nature is another term for wellness” as the Proverb indicates, Humans, regardless of age or culture, find nature to be therapeutic. In the same way, a healing garden’s most significant component is real nature—green foliage, flowers, and possibly quiet water element.

Healing gardens have been around for a long time, dating back to Japanese Zen gardens and monastery cloister gardens. Healing gardens have long been seen at hospitals and healthcare facilities, providing a haven for patients, families, and employees. Gardens can be a vital element in healing someone’s struggling from a catastrophic disease like cancer or a stroke by bringing hope and inspiration. They can provide a peaceful haven for people to get away from the world of physicians, hospitals, and illness.

A healing garden can take many different dimensions, but it always involves some engagement with nature. Plants can inspire you with their vibrant hues or comfort you with their soothing tones. The relaxing sound of running water and the energizing movement of passing wildlife is helpful in healing. The fresh flavor of a crisp pea pod or sweet fruit tempts us, while the rich aroma of earth and the lovely scent of fragrant herbs fill the air we breathe.

Grow your Own Healing Garden:

Gardening’s physical efforts—digging, planting, bending, and walking—are excellent types of exercise for keeping the body in good shape. Digging or weeding in the yard burns calories and in developing bones and preventing osteoporosis. By relieving stress and anxiety, gardens and gardening activities can help boost our mental outlook and emotional mood.

Remember to grow what you like when choosing plants for your therapeutic garden. Annuals such as zinnias, petunias, sunflowers, or cosmos are good choices if vibrant colors energize you. Some Color tones elevate one’s mood and elicit happy feelings. While de-stressing, use pleasant blues and greens, joyful pink and stimulating red when recovering from depression, and purple should be abundant in your healing garden. Encourage your Children too in Gardening.

To deepen your connection with nature, use culinary herbs and ornamental perennials and shrubs that suit your needs and those you can care for and potentially use outside of the garden as well. If you want to grow culinary herbs in your therapeutic garden, you can do so.

Include a spot to sit and appreciate nature’s beauty, as well as a route for wandering through the garden. Encourage the presence of butterflies, birds, insects, and other wildlife in the garden to benefit from their healing energy. Birdfeeders and birdhouses bring guests to your yard fast.

It takes time to create a healing garden, just as it does to heal and recover from an illness. Enjoy the voyage of life.
