According to research, hugging a tree boosts oxytocin, a hormone that makes you feel relaxed and emotionally balanced.
Being around trees can also help to lower blood pressure, slow your heart rate, boost your immune system, and reduce stress and worry.
Step outside and embrace a tree to experience the best therapy. Hug a tree, spread love, and become a Tree Hugger today. (GLDG/PIA-NCR)
