Nature therapy

Nature therapy harnesses the healing power of natural environments to enhance physical and mental wellbeing. At Rē, our location in the jungle at the foot of the Sierra Madre mountains, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, provides an optimal setting for experiencing the therapeutic benefits of nature immersion and the earth's natural healing energies.

How does it work?

When we spend time in nature, our bodies are exposed to beneficial negative ions - charged particles that can influence our physiological state.

These ions, abundant in natural settings like beaches, forests, and near moving water, help regulate our nervous system and promote a state of calm.

Additionally, direct contact with the earth (grounding) and exposure to natural light helps reset our circadian rhythms and promotes the production of vital hormones and neurotransmitters that regulate mood, stress response, and overall wellbeing.

Backed by science

Research in environmental medicine and neuroscience demonstrates significant health benefits from nature exposure.

Studies published in the International Journal of Environmental Research show that time in nature reduces cortisol levels by up to 15% and blood pressure by 2-6%. Research in the Journal of Environmental Psychology documents improved cognitive function and creativity after nature immersion.

Additional studies have shown that exposure to negative ions increases serotonin levels and improves mood, while grounding reduces inflammation markers in the body.

Benefits of Nature Therapy

Nature immersion has shown promise in:

Reduced stress and anxiety
Improved mood and mental clarity
Enhanced immune function
Better sleep quality
Accelerated recovery from illness or injury
Increased energy levels
Reduced inflammation
Improved creativity and focus
Enhanced emotional wellbeing
Strengthened mind-body connection

Integration with other modalities

Nature therapy is most effective when combined with other approaches to nervous system regulation. We integrate neurofeedback with various other modalities to create a comprehensive approach to mental and physical wellbeing.

Sympathetic Dominance Protocol

A psychosomatic stress reduction method that combines various modalities to identify and remove emotional blocks that express as physical symptoms.

PEMF & Infrared

Muscle relaxation, improved circulation and ion transportation to stimulate the body's natural recovery process.

Photobiomodulation

Red light and Near Infrared Light of specific wavelengths interact with the mitochondria to boost ATP production (more energy).

Cold Thermogenesis

Nervous system regulation training and helps to reduce inflammation, boost metabolism and improve immune function.

Gut Healing Protocol

Reduce harmful bacteria and parasites, heal the gut lining and encourage growth of beneficial bacteria to boost the immune system and gut-brain connection.
