How to use it

Three times a week, 20-30 minutes somewhere that feels like nature to you: a park, the shore, a line of trees. No phone, no workout needed. That's where the stress drop per minute is biggest.

How sure we are

P Evidence: promising. Good studies, but small or few. Use it and keep checking.
