There are some cultures that have recognized this. For the Japanese, religion is founded on a profound respect and love for nature, trees are more than just plants. In fact, they even have a term for the act of spending time with trees, “Forest Bathing”. Clinically proven to:

lower heart rate . reduce blood pressure. reduce stress. boost the immune system. have calming effects on the central nervous system . have grounding effects. reduce stress hormone production. improve sleep quality.
