The gap between the natural setting, for which our physiological functions are adapted, and the highly urbanized and artificial setting that we inhabit is a contributing cause of the "stress state“
A walk in nature or even looking at greenery can reduce anxiety & improve memory.
Spending time in nature reduces cortisol levels and HPA-Axis activation including respiration and BP
Visual stimulus of nature (unscented roses, live house plants), even indoors is correlated with a decrease in HPA-Axis activity
Even 3-D visual representations promoted modest levels of relaxation (but not 2-D)
Olfactory stimulus with live plants and certain essential oils
Auditory nature sounds also are associated with reduced cortisol and HPA-Axis activation
Some of the benefits are thought to be attributed to extrasensory factors such as microbes and ions

Exposure of increased levels of sunlight for patients having undergone spinal surgery resulted in reduced pain, stress, use of painkilling medication
Mood
Viewing scenes of nature was associated with the elevated production of serotonin and stimulation of positive thinking and reduced aggression and post-stress anger.
