Can doctors prescribe nature?
Yes, the NHS can prescribe nature-based therapies, often for mental health conditions like anxiety or depression. Charities like Dose of Nature, visited by the Princess, partner with the NHS to offer these 'green prescriptions'. They aim to provide a holistic approach to healing, using the outdoors as a therapeutic environment, sometimes with psychological support.
