Disclaimer

The articles of the magazine are intended for informational and educational purposes only. While efforts have been made to reference scientific research and historical developments, the content should not be considered a substitute for professional medical, psychological, or therapeutic advice.

The therapeutic benefits of spending time in the forest, guided forest bathing sessions, and green prescriptions are supported by emerging research in environmental psychology, integrative health, and ecotherapy. However, individual experiences may vary, and those with pre-existing medical or mental health conditions should consult a qualified healthcare provider before engaging in any nature-based intervenations, particularly as an alternative or complementary approach to conventional treatment.

Furthermore, the articles acknowledge the cultural diversity of nature-connection traditions worldwide. The mention of various terms, historical contexts, and linguistic interpretations serves to enrich understanding but does not claim to provide an exhaustive or definitive explanation of these practices. The discussion of phytoncide therapy, guided nature immersion, and stress-related physiological markers is based on available literature and should not be interpreted as medical claims.

The intention is to foster open dialogue, deepen awareness, and promote ethical and evidence-based engagement with  guided nature practices. Readers are encouraged to explore these topics further and seek guidance from certified professionals, scientific literature, and their own lived experiences.
